To remain competitive in today’s world of work, organisations must take full advantage of the internet's potential. To do this, the Content Management System (CMS) that drives a website should not only serve to publish information, but also support interactive features and web-based business processes.
An effective web Content Management System will:
- Provide the foundation for evolving marketing messages
- Enable the regular update of business critical information
- Help ensure the website, intranet or extranet is always relevant to the audience
- Allow for easy integration with other back-end databases, systems and 3rd party applications; and
- Enable an organisation to meet web best practice and standards compliance requirements.
