What is a Content Management System?

About Content Management Systems

A Content Management System (CMS) is a software application or set of related programs that are used to create and manage digital content. CMSs are typically used for enterprise content management (ECM) and web content management (WCM). A CMS facilitates collaboration in the workplace by integrating document management, digital asset management, and records retention functionalities, and providing end users with role-based access to the organization's digital assets.
