Why do I need a Content Management System?

Control of published content

Your Content Management System will also ensure that the right content is right place at the right time.  User-defined roles and permissions can ensure that authors only have access to their content, on their section of the site.  Workflow processes will ensure that content does not go live to the world without first being moderated and authorised by the right person.  You will be able to keep your content under control.
 
Not only do you want your content to be saying the right things, you also want it to reflect your brand identity.  You want to maintain consistency throughout your site, and your Content Management System can ensure that budding desktop publishers are not able to produce pages in their favourite colours and a multitude of fonts. 

The level of control is up to you, and your Content Management System can ensure that the look and feel of your site is consistent, across a single site, or across many sites.

Your Content Management System will enable you to reversion content in the appropriate format.  Design, content and structure are dealt with individually, enabling a single piece of content to be made available in the most appropriate format without the need for additional time and effort.
