At the risk of stating the obvious, it could be said that a Content Management System (CMS) is quite simply - a system that manages content.
To fully understand what it is a CMS does, we have to first define:
- what it is we are referring to when we talk about content;
- what it is we understand under its management; and
- what do we mean by a system.
The system itself is definable as a tool or combination of tools that facilitate the efficient and effective production of the desired 'output' using the managed content.
Tomolion believes that CMS is a tool that enables a variety of technical and non technical staff to create, edit, manage and finally publish a variety of content (such as text, graphics, video, documents etc), while being constrained by a set of rules, process and workflows that ensure coherent, validated electronic content."
