Why
CMS ? |
| |
|
| |
In
today's world of e-Businesses, content flow
is almost as crucial as cash flow. If an organization
cannot update the information about its product
and services on a continuous basis then it
will not be able to fulfill the today's Internet
based expectations. If any organization wants
to increase the content flow without spending
lots of money and with less problems then
the content management systems are best option.
Any company or organization will need the
CMS if the web site of the company is big
and there are frequent updates of content
or strong requirement to manage website on
continuous basis.

the system works efficiently and saves money.
These are |
| |
|

user interface design of CMS should be
changed using templates. Different templates
for different level of users should be
present. |

It
should be powered by the latest database

used in any operating system on any computer
platform. |

and costs. Most of the maintenance operations
should be automatic. |
|

The
system should provide multi user options
for controlling the user privileges at
multiple levels. The security keys should
be provided to restrict the users to work
according to their access rights. |
 |
The database model should not be rigid but it should be able to analyze the database structure and build the forms for database tables accordingly. |

CMS should facilitate better content security. It should control who is allowed to publish to the website, and who is allowed to see what content. |
