What Is Content Management Software?
Web content management software is a tool that creates, deploys, manages and tracks content on a website.
How Content Management Software Works
Content management software is driven by templates. Developing a portal without content management software is inconceivable. Good content management software is web centric, rather than file centric (such as Oracle's Sharepoint).
How To Get Content Management Software
Content management software is available in two ways - you buy a licensed copy of the software to run on your own server(s) or you rent the software as an ASP (Application Service Provider). Typically, content management software is available via licensed model.
Problems With Content Management Software
One of the complaints about content management software is that content management software is too expensive and requires too much customization.

- Mentions OpenSourceCMS?Create.COM.
- What I experienced was obtuse and complex software that was packed with gratuitous features at the expense of usability and user experience. It was software written by geeks, for geeks. This whole category of software desperately needs to be redesigned with writers, editors, designers, and site owners in mind.
- Many responses to the article talking about the "open source mentality" (nerds writing software for nerds) and how that is different than a "user centric" focus.
- One of the responses in the thread: After reviewing most of CMS's on that site, I have to agree. None of the CMS's I saw had an intuitive, tree-like view of the categories and sub-categories you create (many of them didn't even have a way to nest multiple categories), and yes, I was frustrated to the fact that most of them are blog-centric.
