Your Business. Your Branding.

So what exactly is a Content Management System? The term Content Management System (or CMS) is used to describe two related - yet very different - types of software.

  • Web CMS describes a content management system whose primary purpose is to manage the content of an organization's web site or sites. Web content management systems generally allow authorized users to alter or add Web pages, downloadable documents, or images - from anywhere in the world.

  • Generic CMS (also known as Enterprise CMS) describes enterprise-class systems used to digitize, store, and retrieve electronic copies of an organization's documents. The hallmark of an Enterprise CMS is an installed hardware base of document scanners.
