What is a Content Management System?
A Web Content Management System establishes control of the design, authoring, and editorial approval processes, as well as, the management of the content publication and integration functions.

Utilizing a customizable workflow system, users can author, submit, review, approve, view, and archive content. These features translate into fast, consistent, and high quality updates of your Web site.
An easy-to-use interface provides content authors the ability to modify existing pages and create new pages without having to learn HTML or other Web programming skills.

What is content?
Content is the information about your company, its services, and its products that you wish to communicate via the Web. It typically is comprised of text, graphics, files for downloading, and applications for presenting complex, highly targeted information to your customers.

Today's competitive market requires companies to publish content to their Web sites as rapidly as possible to create new content. This is a difficult and costly task for most companies because they use different systems to create their print documents than to create their Internet content. Because the file formats and page layouts do not transfer directly to the Web, additional time and expense is required to convert information. Many companies have used Web authoring systems, but these systems (i) do not address the broad requirements of existing content development processes, (ii) do not provide a structure for integrating systems developed by multiple vendors, (iii) require a substantial understanding of basic Web programming theory and techniques, (iv) and require an ongoing investment in training and capital expenditure to keep them usable.
