A content management system allows one or more authors to prepare and publish the information online, without needing to prepare the HTML code. The modern systems allow information and resources to be stored in the database for re-use, automatic indexing and searching, for the workflow management. It may be based on the databases or XML. The typical features include scalability, flexibility in the workflows, authorization and editing or submitting content through a web interface.
A content management system manages the content of the web site. A CMS consists of the two elements – the content management application (CMA) and the content delivery application (CDA). The CMA element allows the content manager or author, who may not know the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), to manage the creation, modification, and removal of content from a Web site without needing the expertise of the webmaster.
The content management systems are mainly for the interactive use by the potentially large number of the contributors. The content managed includes the computer files, image media, audio files, electronic documents and web content. Many software companies use the CMS for storing the files in a non-proprietary form.
The companies use a CMS to share the files with ease. Many Content Management Systems include a feature for Web Content, and some have a feature for a “workflow process,” which means moving an electronic document along for either approval, or for adding content. CMS will facilitate the process with email notification and automated routing. A CMS facilitates the organization, control, and publication of a large body of documents and other content, such as images and multimedia resources.
