A CMS is a system that lets you apply management principles to content. 
In the specific domain of Web CMS, an online management tool should allow you (the site owner) to publish more efficiently, more safely and more effectively than a manual process, but as with all other technologies, effective management is first and foremost a people issue. CMS solutions vary from the simplest entry level systems costing a few hundred pounds through to complex, all encompassing systems that can cost upwards of £15K! So, do you need a CMS and if so, which one should you choose? The answer depends upon your site, what you want to achieve and, of course, if you have the appropriate in-house skills and indeed time to handle this. Typically in the past, companies have rushed out and invested heavily in CMS expecting the system to save them time and money when dealing with future updates and developments. However, the reality is often that they find they lack the internal resources and correct skills, which then lead to delays and mistakes damaging the companies online profile. The current trend is now to outsource CMS by employing a subscription service such as Big Pig's Content Management Service. With this kind of service, you can tailor the level of support and time you require, then simply forward on updates as and when they are required, without the need to requesting a quote and raising individual purchase orders. Big Pig's Content Management Service can also provide you with monthly stats reports and we can even monitor your site, identifying and reporting on content before it falls out of date. If you are considering CMS and would like to know more about the options available to you, contact us on 0118 926 7050 or email enquiries@bigpig.co.uk |
