Content Management Systems
How can we update our website?
There are three options available to you:
- Use a Content Management System (CMS)
- Have Web Wizards implement the updates for you
- A combination of the above!
A CMS is a tool that helps:
- Create and publish
- Manage and distribute
- Locate corporate information
A CMS creates and publishes:
- Basic level: Update pictures and copy on websites
- Higher level:
- Improve business processes
- Create internal efficiencies
- Reduce duplication of efforts across whole company
- Create detailed reports between different business units
A CMS manages and distributes two types of information:
- Public
- Internal corporate info
A CMS helps locate corporate info:
- Central repository of information
- Replaces all the excel, word, access databases etc. that exist within each business unit.
- Accessible 24/7 from anywhere
- Should be the spot everyone knows has the most current, accurate info
- Cannot be saved over or lost
This is critical choice:
- There are 2 types of CMS
- A Custom one created for your company based exactly on how your companies operate.
- The other type is Proprietary, where you fit your business into their mold. There are limitations to customizing to your business unit needs.
