  3. What is a Content Management System (CMS)? CMS is Your Website Expectations • Overloaded terms? • CMS • WCM • DM • ??

  4. What does the cloud mean for your CMS? An industry perspective.. As content consumption patterns shift from traditional web pages to a more multi-channel content ecosystem (mobile, website, tablets, widgets, game consoles, kiosks, etc), the demand for highly scalable and near real-time CMS will be needed. The movement to a real-time web will exponential increase resource requirements of CMS solutions as they try to manage more content in a shorter time frame. Moving an application to the cloud simply means running the app “somewhere” on the internet other than your own servers. Source: www.cmsoutlook.com
