Generate new revenue from existing content

While many design efforts are outsourced, most content is generated in-house. That requires the organization to engage a large number of contributors to participate consistently. The organization becomes an "accidental publisher", but with neither the knowledge nor the professional publishing background to deal with the ever-increasing volume of content. Suddenly, a content management system seems like an excellent idea:

Decentralized Content Maintenance

Many companies that use an agency to create and maintain Web sites, send their change requests for pages via e-mail or fax, and a Web designer has to take the task to create and edit the pages.

For a company's Intranet, one or more Webmasters or web-savvy employees handle these tasks, but often it is not their primary job responsibility and the task takes them away from their core job requirements. These people likely have a large daily list of tasks consisting of converting received documents into HTML and uploading them to the Web server, many times according to unclear directions of the contributor.

All manual approaches like these are time consuming and add unnecessary expense to Web site and Intranet maintenance. A CMS will help save your company time and money and help prevent errors in content transmission.

Efficient Production Without HTML Knowledge

While it takes HTML code to make a Web page, not every online editor or employee who contributes to a company's Web site should or can become a part-time programmer. With a content management solution, the need for editors to even know what the letters HTML stand for eliminated.

Ideally, the person responsible for the content should not be concerned about the underlying technology. A powerful CMS solution ensures that current information is always in the right shape and place, without editors having to worry about HTML or technical complexities.
