Web Content Management (WCM) Evaluation Center

What Is Web Content Management (WCM)?

Web content management systems incorporate content creation, review, and approval processes, to publish content on public or corporate web sites, as well as intranets and extranets. It provides for the storage, maintenance, and retrieval of hypertext markup language (HTML) and extensible markup language (XML) documents. Web content management systems typically provide content templates, workflow management capabilities, document management, and publishing capabilities for content export.
