Content Management System

 

A content management system (CMS) is a system providing a 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 do the following:

 

• Allow for a large number of people to contribute to and share stored data

• Control access to data, based on user roles 

• Aid in easy storage and retrieval of data

• Control of data validity and compliance

• Reduce repetitive duplicate input

• Improve the ease of report writing

• Improve communication between users

 

In CMS, data can be defined as nearly anything: documents, movies, text, pictures, phone numbers, scientific data, and so forth. CMSs are frequently used for storing, controlling, revising, semantically enriching and publishing documentation. Serving as a central repository, the CMS increases the version level of new updates to an already existing file. Version control is one of the primary advantages of a CMS.
