Content Management Systems
What is a web content management system?
A Web Content Management System (WCMS) is a software system used to manage and control a dynamic collection of Web material such as HTML documents, images, media, and much more. A Content Management System (CMS) facilitates document control, auditing, editing, and timeline management. Features Include:
Easily Editable Content
Most WCMS software include “What You See Is What You Get” (WYSIWIG) editing tools, allowing non-technical individuals to create and edit content.
Scalable Features and Modules
The majority of WCMS software includes plug-ins or modules that can be easily installed to extend an existing site's functionality.
Web Standards Upgrades
Active WCMS software usually receives regular updates that include new feature sets and keep the system up to current web standards.
Workflow Management
Employee submissions can go through key approval processes. For example, a content creator can submit a story, but it is not published until the editor-in-chief approves it.
Delegation
Some CMS software allows for various user groups to have limited privileges over specific content on the website, spreading out the responsibility of content management.
Document Management
CMS software may provide a means of managing the life cycle of a document from initial creation time, through revisions, publication, archive, and document destruction.
