Web Content Management System

• Wikipedia definition – A web content management (WCM) system is a

CMS designed to simplify the publication of Web content to Web sites, in particular allowing content creators to submit content without requiring technical knowledge of HTML or the uploading of files.

involvement of IT but following certain Governance rules and security policies.
