In terms of web applications a CMS is used for managing websites and web content which in many cases requires a backend system for editing and creating documents. The content managed may include computer files, image media, audio files, video files, electronic documents, and Web content. These concepts represent integrated and interdependent layers.Content Management Systems come in all shapes and sizes. Chances are if you've put up a Web page on a free Web page server or ISP you've had access to a rudimentary content management system.
Content management tool facilitates a lot of things:
• provides Web access to Web page content owners directly
• allows for faster updates of Web pages
• provides an easy-to-use interface where content owners don't need to know HTML
• creates accountability, as most content managers can track logins and changes to various pages within the site
• upholds standardization rules
In most companies, the Web Developers don't write the content for the pages. They simply put it up in a format that is Web ready. With a content manager, the content owner can access the parts of the site that they own and publish them, often directly to the Web site or staging server.
To summarize the market for content management systems remains fragmented, with many open-source and proprietary solutions available. As we all know, managing a dynamic Web site can turn to a real nightmare. Make sure that your requirements are met when choosing a solution.
