What is a Content Management System?
August 11th, 2006 by Sean
A content management system is a computer software system for organizing and facilitating collaborative creation of documents and other content.
A content management system is sometimes a web application used for managing websites and web content, though in many cases, content management systems require special client software for editing and constructing articles.
They can also be used for storage and single sourcing of documentation for a firm including but not limited to operators’ manuals, technical manuals, sales guides, etc. The market for content management systems remains fragmented, with many open-source and proprietary solutions available.
The term was originally used for website publishing and management systems. Early content management systems were developed internally at organizations which were doing a lot of content publishing.
In 1995, CNET spun out its internal development offerings into a separate company called Vignette, which opened up the market for commercial systems.
As the market evolved, the scope of content management systems broadened, and the term is now used to refer to a range of technologies and techniques, including portal systems, wiki systems, and web-based groupware.
