Tag details

A Content Management System (CMS) is a software program which facilitates the creation, editing, and publication of digital information.

There are two main CMS sub-categories: Enterprise CMS and Web CMS. An Enterprise CMS manages content across an entire organization, whereas a Web CMS is intended for managing only that information that is made available on a website. A CMS may be installed as software or offered as a web-based/hosted solution.

The goal of every CMS is to make content management a relatively non-technical process. Web CMS products, for example, attempt to allow marketing personnel to make website changes directly, rather than having to submit all changes to an IT department. Depending on the system chosen, managing web content through a CMS can prove to be more complex than some non-technical users expect, however.

The first CMS products were made available in the early 1990s as programmers looked for a way to empower non-technical users to make changes themselves. Today there are thousands of CMS products on the market ranging from free to hundreds of thousands of dollars in price and addressing many niche content management needs.
