Competition in this modern economy world has increased and so have the service qualities. In mid-1993 there were just around a websites in the internet overall. Then about half a decade later Google Inc. was formed and it indexed about 2 billion webpages. So the increase approximately was about a billion fold in just 60 months. So as this huge tide of content is increasing minute by minute, web professionals need to be aware to maintain and regulate their resources.


Content Management means different things to people who have different roles in the organization. These roles can be content topic creators, content writers, the ones who edit the content and above all the one who commands the purse string.

Managing Contents’ Assets

People will have their own purposes and motives for content management and one of those vital reasons could be their site is getting too big to handle. It might be that there are numerous writers creating various pages end on the same content or page without even knowing it. The vital issue here is that there is too much stuff to be handled and regulated. This has to be done by asset management.
The process involves 3 aspects of ‘adding more pages and changing it on the site’, ‘regulating who can post content on the websites’ and ‘making the content relevant, precise and eye-catching. If you have done all the groundwork then the content management tool will help you in all the above mentioned aspects. 

A website is a very complex place. They are not a bundle of pages on a webserver. They form a part of a big web. Just think there are so many documents, contracts, spreadsheets, logo, bullet, invisible spacer and the list goes on. Don’t forget the old versions of all the above, now they are a totally unused junk in your content inventory.
