Do you need a Content Management System ?

It is mainly used to manage and control a large, dynamic collection of Web material (HTML documents and their associated images).

A CMS facilitates content creation, content control, editing, and many essential Web maintenance functions.

Usually the software provides authoring (and other) tools designed to allow users with little or no knowledge of programming languages or mark-up languages to create and manage content with relative ease of use.

A Content Managment System is used for:

Managing content: define, create, organize, secure and search

Separate content from presentation: defined templates. Publishing Web content such as web pages

Business Workflow. Facilitate Data entry (into and from a database)

Localization: different versions presented to users in their own language

Content is King. Long live the King

Since the rise of technology in the late 20th century, the goal of marketing departments everywhere has remained the same – to get your “message” out, whether it’s a product, service, mission, or goal.

However, as technology advanced and Web 2.0 arrived, the means by which we seek to achieve this goal have changed.
Now, the goal is getting the right message out to the right audience.
