Content Management System (CMS) Evaluation Center

What Is a Content Management System?

Content management systems facilitate the management of internal corporate documentation and information, web site content, and group collaboration. A content management system is built as a central repository, which holds all content, metadata, accessibility and workflow rules, and supporting information. Organizations that establish processes and disciplines around these systems can ensure smooth and efficient acquisition, maintenance, delivery, and archiving of corporate content resources.

Content Management System Business Drivers and Benefits

• Comply with regulatory requirements for corporate records and documentation.
• Keep corporate messaging consistent.
• Improve collaboration on project-related content.
• Make corporate documents easily accessible to the right people.
• Save time by reusing content.

Content Management System Risks

• Lax or subpar security standards can expose sensitive data to illicit access.
• Inadequate redundancy plans (i.e., data storage on a secondary back-up server at a remote location) will leave you unable to retrieve recoverable data in the event of theft, fire, flood, or other disaster.
• Improper content management processes can leave your organization in violation of US Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) and other regulatory requirements for information traceability and safeguarding.
