Content Management

A Content Management System (CMS) is a software system used for content management. This may include computer files, image media, audio files, electronic documents and web content.

The idea behind a CMS is to make these files available from any location. A Content Management System is often used for archiving as well.

Advantages for a CMS for individuals as well as small organisations include:

Management of contact information behind a secure login, allowing display of appropriate data on public website, user updating and emailing to lists.
Storing of documents used by groups.
Subscription systems and accounting can be managed on the web.

Having developed proprietary CMSes for many years, I am now abandoning proprietary coding and using the Drupal framework. Drupal is an Open Source CMS system which allows the creation of powerful web functionality without programming. I am convinced that it is slowly helping to redefine the way we think about building websites.
