What is a Content Management System (CMS)?

A Content Management System is frequently a web application used for managing websites and web content, although, in many cases, Content Management Systems require special client software for editing and constructing articles.
Do you need a Content Management System ?
A CMS is mainly used to manage and control a large, dynamic collection of Web material (HTML documents and their associated images). It 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
