What is content management?
Content management is the process of organizing and consolidating these pieces of content (text, graphics, and multimedia clips) and tagging schemes (XML, HTML, etc,) in the most efficient way and storing them only one time in a repository, known as a content management system. The organized content can then be used over and over again (content reuse) for many different publications and repurposed for multi-channel publishing.

Content management is like storing your content pieces in bins to be reused as building blocks for many documents.

There are different types of content management systems. Below is a list of the major categories:

Type of Content Management System Purpose
Web Content Management (WCM) Specializes in managing and delivering content to Web sites
Digital Asset Management (DAM) Specializes in managing graphics and multimedia components and their corresponding metadata, but not text
Document Management (DM) Manages whole documents rather than the actual content itself; similar to an electronic filing cabinet
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Manages all aspects of content within an organization (i.e., e-mails, business documents, and more) and is scalable for use throughout the entire enterprise.
Component Content Management (CCM) Manages content at the component level and stores it only one time as a single source for maximum content reuse and delivery to multiple media channels (i.e., print, Web, CD, PDF, and more) - Vasont fits in here!
