What is content management system?

1. A content management system (CMS) is a software application that let users to create, edit, collaborate on, publish and store digital content.

[{"selector":"#anim-ace28734-17a8-48b2-8c2f-79bb41c55748 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1dff9ed2-9994-4266-9f4e-5e9689dc17fb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(119.20530%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-613b3569-7ddd-4167-a42a-fe131f5752f7","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

2. CMSes are typically used for enterprise content management (ECM) and web content management (WCM).

[{"selector":"#anim-bed409f6-8447-4bde-a72a-f6db469838cc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-10b02b3d-1aec-4af2-8039-023f0756c726","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(110.26393%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c971a8c3-4c4e-44a1-a069-b0b22936d630","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

3. A CMS provides a graphical user interface with tools to create, edit and publish web content without the need to write code.

[{"selector":"#anim-55e3b248-07c6-4a49-99b0-79b97153d370 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e3da3a5a-ee84-4287-b436-04dc6e28c247","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(110.26393%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f9fedbc2-9e4a-431a-baa9-83410894f667","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

4. A CMS has two components: a content management application (CMA) and a content delivery application (CDA).

[{"selector":"#anim-bb78f974-215a-45d7-8d89-02ab633a2b26 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2ab47588-2096-49e7-a652-972a2f82d0a6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(110.26393%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-deeebd20-1cf5-43c0-b3ca-46c85388d9c7","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

5. The CMA is a graphical user interface that enables users to design.

[{"selector":"#anim-c00d17fd-283e-415f-98db-525878a8d8d0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7440b940-6e50-4ca1-9afe-b13d6b210f22","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(110.26393%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a4bd25a2-3e7d-48c0-9cea-f5c4dde95121","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

6. The CDA component provides the back-end services that support management and delivery of the content once a user creates it in the CMA.

[{"selector":"#anim-7781e27d-4e7b-4dee-8ff1-ee61fb2d8603 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-65778f7d-eafe-406b-b38e-255e065fd92a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(118.24105%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-48a6125e-d9c0-4dc9-ac3d-58ed0cf1744f","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

7. A CMS may also provide tools for personalization, or one-to-one marketing.

[{"selector":"#anim-d7eb83f6-0b5d-47a0-baa6-9f3b5dde4aee [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b034da08-dcf3-4be0-a118-c585dbcc66b2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.61238%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-38499de9-5812-4214-b851-e597e3f3610e","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

8. The CMS is the precursor to the ECM system.

[{"selector":"#anim-0a6369a4-4aff-4668-8b5a-86f094516fa4 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-32ea0601-57b9-4e15-9d29-f006bcee4314","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.61238%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d1e956d-6193-446c-9d5d-97041c604210","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

9. A CMS is a place to create, manage and store digital content, and works best with structured content.

[{"selector":"#anim-5d06d67a-c8c8-46b8-818d-43e2cde91ce0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8095f2d2-2fae-4df8-a7a7-60d682ddb168","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(118.89251%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-89b3ecdc-b3ee-4ab0-bdb1-8015f911a84c","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]
