Moodle evaluation

Hello everybody,
 
I have prepared a study for my university regarding LMSs. Moodle was selected to be implemented amongst the different systems evaluated. However, I'm having a hard time evaluate moodle's financial aspects. I know its an open source software, meaning there are no licensing costs, but I need to prepare a costs-benefit-analysis, ROI(return on investment),  and TCO(total cost of ownership).
 
If anybody has documents regarding this subject, or at least regarding measuring the financial performance of an open source software please send it to me.

Mohammad,
You have had a reply to the same posting here
The other (short) answer is it depends wink  since your costings will depend on the issues that Don indicated.  Since the decision has been made to go with Moodle, the remaining questions are how to implement it (hosting, training, etc.)   If you have the time to do a pilot, you could learn a lot with a pilot implementation with evaluation. Some Moodle partners have different levels of hosting where you could grow into the implementation over time.
