Content management refers to the system and processes whereby information is created, managed, published, and archived.
A Content Management System, commonly known as CMS is a computer application that supports the creation, modification and publication of digital content using a common user interface and integrated multi-user collaborative environment.
A CMS allows editors to create new content, edit existing content, perform editorial processes on content, and ultimately make that content available to other people to consume it.
Such systems of content management provide procedures to manage workflow in a collaborative environment. Typically, a CMS consists of two elements: the content management application (CMA) and the content delivery application (CDA).
A CMS represents a major departure from traditional methods. Not only are business processes altered, but more business users and fewer technical personnel are involved in day-to-day content management operations. Content bottlenecks are removed, while content backups are automatically generated. A CMS changes the way online information is managed.
