CMS WHAT IS IT FOR?

CMS - Content Management System give website owners the ability to interact with their website allowing any user with now technical skills to update and upload content.

First feature of the CMS, any one can update the website.

This way the content can be updated directly by the "owner" of the information, not needing to wait for the specialist to do the updates, and actually facilitating that the information will be always up to date.

  

Typical application and benefits;
  • Reducing the cost and turnaround of maintaining your website
  • Latest news, press releases library, etc..
  • Documentation library for users or internal to your organisation
  • Client or shareholders documentation (in a private area)
  • Distributed Publishing of commercial literature
  • etc..

So now that we have the information fast and up to date, what else?

Up to now most websites fall in the category of presenting your company's information.

With CMS the information can be shared between different department or with clients and suppliers, and you can even federate content aggregators from other partners (decentralised authoring) and syndicate part of your content.

Sharing the information with other users, within or outside your organisation, will actually improve the quality of the information published or shared.

  Typical application and benefits;
  • Combining expertise of several sources
  • Obtaining fast feedback from other parties
  • Speeding the time require to find agreements and consensus
  • Documentation library for users or internal to your organisation
  • Exchanging documentation with Client or other partners (in a private area)
  • and the most common usage, to maintain the company's Intranet
Is there anything else in CMS?

Advance CMS Systems - and in particular the one use by AboarD - are based in object oriented open systems based on development frameworks that allows developers to plug many features to an existing CMS system allowing to extend the functionality far beyond the Content Management at a low cost.

These are some examples;
  • Shopping Carts
  • Contact Management
  • Help Desk / Bug Reporting
  • Groupware
  • Expense Reports
  • Time Tracking
  • ...

 

Tools typically available to CMS systems are
  • Shared Calendar
  • Bulletin Boards
  • Discussion Boards
  • Rating Systems
  • Assets libraries (Pictures or documents)
  • Advance customisable authoring and revision workflow and Version Control
  • Project Tracking
  • Polls

So each CMS system will come with it's abilities and limitations, although most will provide the basic benefits, some will soon restrict the benefits realistically achievable.

We recommend you to start with a good assessment of your requirements using the advice of some experience connoisseur.
