Content Management Systems
A content management system (CMS) supports the creation, management, distribution, publishing, and discovery of corporate information. It covers the complete lifecycle of the pages on your site, from providing simple tools to create the content, through to publishing, and finally to archiving.
A CMS also provides the ability to manage the structure of the site, the appearance of the published pages, and the navigation provided to the users.
