What Is a CMS?
Joomla! is a CMS.

  • A Content Management System (CMS) enables management of .. well ... content !
    • Okay that's a bit simplistic.
  • You have many documents and newsletters you want to distrbute to your customers.
  • However you need to restrict access for certain documents to certain users.
    • A CMS allows you to specify who can read, edit, update and publish any of those documents.
    • Access types can be attributed to a single document or groups of documents.
    • Access types can be attributed to a single person or a group of people.
    • The level of granularity is up to you.
  • There is much more to a CMS than we could ever present here.
  • But don't forget, Joomla! exceeds even the basic requirements for a CMS.
    • The extensions available for Joomla!, such as calendars, appointment booking, media and document libraries etc, make this system an ideal solution for any company.
