What is Content Management System?
A content management system (CMS) is the collection of procedures used to manage work flow in a collaborative environment. These procedures can be manual or computer-based. The procedures are designed to:
1. Allow for a large number of people to contribute to and share stored data
2. Control access to data, based on user roles. User roles define what information each user can view or edit
3. Aid in easy storage and retrieval of data
4. Reduce repetitive duplicate input
5. Improve the ease of report writing
6. Improve communication between users
In a CMS, data can be defined as nearly anything – documents, movies, pictures, phone numbers, scientific data, etc. CMSs are frequently used for storing, controlling, revising, semantically enriching, and publishing documentation. * source : Wikipedia.
