Content Management Systems

Managment of shared resources.

 

Web Content Management Systems

• deliver this content for the web.

Enterprise Content Managment Systems

• are at the enterprise level and may not involve (though usually do) the web.

Types:

• Commercial versus Freeware/opensource
• SAS (software as a service) versus You Host

Why go with Content Management Systems(or related Application Service Framework )?

Consider the example of a real estate agent with 500 houses for sale. In a static web site, the agent would have to create 500 pages in order to make the information available. In a dynamic website, the agent would simply connect the dynamic page to a database table of 500 records.

How do you choose - consider these items:

• language/system requirements (and your capabilities)
• support
• longevity
• latest update
• industry support and use
• databases support
