Content management Systems
A content management system, or CMS, is a web application designed to make it easy for non-technical users to add, edit and manage a website. Most CMS have the following features:
• Allow for a large number of people to contribute to and share stored data
•Control access to data, based on user roles (defining which information users or user groups can view, edit, publish, etc.)
•Aid in easy storage and retrieval of data
•Reduce repetitive duplicate input
•Improve the ease of report writing
