Content Management facilitates the organization, control, and publication of a large body of documents and other content, such as images and multimedia resources.

It often facilitates the collaborative creation of documents. A web content management system is a content management system with additional features to ease the tasks required to publish web content to web sites. An example of a web content management system can be found in Microsoft’s Sharepoint Server.

Other types of content management include e-mail archiving solutions and document retention systems. Content Management systems are designed to manage both Structured and unstructured content, so that an organization, such as a business or governmental agency, can more effectively meet business goals (increase profit or improve the efficient use of budgets), serve its customers (as a competitive advantage, or to improve responsiveness), and protect itself (against non-compliance, law-suits, uncoordinated departments or turnover within the organization).

In a large enterprise, Content Management is not regarded as an optional expense, where it is essential to content preservation and re-usability, and to the control of access to content - whereas, very small organizations may find their needs temporarily met by carefully managed shared folders. Recent trends in business and government indicate that content management is becoming a core investment for organizations of all sizes, more immediately tied to organizational goals than in the past: increasingly more central to what an enterprise does, and how it accomplishes its mission. The industry is evolving into an integrated platform where all content can be searched from one user friendly search screen that will return all pertinent data to the user.
