Content Management Systems
What is a Content Management System?
A web content management system (CMS) is a system used to publish and
manage your website. A CMS is frequently web-based so that staff members
can use a web browser to update the website. Staff members don't require
specialized training or technical knowledge of programming languages
or HTML.

UI Select enables multiple departments or divisions within your organization
to manage their own website while enforcing a consistent identity and
format. The system manages which sections of the website can be updated
by users. The system can be used to replace the use of individual web
authoring tools in favor of a web-based system. UISelect is most often used by larger organizations with several departmental websites that collectively have 100 to 25,000 pages and
multiple content authors. UISelect is one of the few enterprise-ready and affordable content management systems developed for a Microsoft platform using the Microsoft .NET framework.
