A content management system (CMS) is basically a computer application which is used to create, edit, manage, and publish content in a consistently organized fashion.

It has innumerable business benefits :

Makes the task of putting information on the Web much simpler

Supports the re-use of data by allowing the ready integration of data from diverse sources

Allowing information maintenance to become devolved but at the same time preserving central control.

Permitting some past state of the Web site to be re-created or restored.

To know more about CMS, let us look at the basic functions of CMS.

Figure: CMS Functions

The functions of CMS  can be divided into 4 categories:

Authoring, Workflow, Storage and Publishing

Authoring is the process by which many users can create Web content within a managed and authorised environment, whether it be lines of text, audio or video.

Storage is the placing of the above mentioned authored content into a central repository. There also prevails something known as “Versioning” of the content whereby the access conflicts between multiple authors cannot arise and also so that previous versions can be found and restored if required.

Publishing simply means delivering the stored content onto the internet so that everyone around the globe can view it.

Do remember - “A poor site can keep you hidden, mis-communicate your products and services and even frustrate your clients in terms of gaining access to key information about your products and services“…and that is what Knowledge Hemispheres Ltd. (www.kh-2.com) strongly believes in and makes every effort to elevate the web presence for its clients.
