What is a Content Management System (CMS)?

"A Content Management System (CMS) is a software system used for content management. This includes computer files, image media, audio files, electronic documents and web content. The idea behind a CMS is to make these files available inter-office, as well as over the web. A Content Management System would most often be used as archival as well. Many companies use a CMS to store files in a non-proprietary form. Companies use a CMS file share with ease, as most systems use server based software, even further broadening file availability. As shown below, many Content Management Systems include a feature for Web Content, and some have a feature for a workflow process."

What are the benefits of a Content Management System (CMS)

Imagine you run your own information website but you have no knowledge of HTML, it takes you over an hour to publish any changes you make to your site and even longer to add new content. Now imagine if you didn't have to know any programming language, that you can just copy and past your article and with a few clicks of the mouse you can add images, charts and more advanced functions. Just think of all the time you would save, simple website changes would take seconds instead of hours and new content could be ready within minuets. Not only is time saving a huge benefit but you can also allow other members of your business to add content without worrying about any damages they may cause and even let your visitors add information giving your website a new level of interactivity for your visitors.
