Joomla! (CMS) - Content Management System
CMS - So, Just What is a Content Management System?
A Content Management System (CMS) is key to the success of most
every website or intranet, yet many organizations are not familiar with
the technology.
The business problem
You have a website or intranet. It has grown organically over time, and while it's very useful, it's far from perfect. Much of it's content is out-of-date or inaccurate. It is hard to find things, updating the site is complex, and the appearance is looking dated. Worse yet, your organization has lost track of all of the pages that were on the site, and by having all of the changes being done by the webmaster, the needed updates are beginning to pile up. What was on the site last month, or last year? You couldn't say. You fear that this could leave you in a bad situation if someone sued, but there is little that you feel you can do.
If this seems grim, you are not alone in these feelings. In fact, it is only natural, as a by-product of maintaining a website using manual web development tools. Thankfully, these situations are exactly what a content management system (CMS) is designed for.
The working solution
CMS - is the system that supports the creation, management, distribution, publication and discovery of an organization's information. It defines the complete lifecycle of the content of your site, from providing the tools to create the content, to its publication, and finally its archiving. It manages the structure of the site, the appearance of the published pages, and the navigation structure provided to the site's users.
The organization's benefits
There are many business benefits that will be obtained from using a CMS, including:
a streamlined content authoring process
faster turnaround time for new pages or changes
greater consistency of content
improved site navigation
increased site flexibility
decentralization authoring support
increased security
reduced duplication of content
