CMS Doesn’t Mean ‘Carefully Manage Socks’

Content Management System

CMS is an acronym. Everyone knows that. But, CMS doesn’t mean ‘Call Me Sometime’, nor does it mean ‘Carefully Manage Socks’. CMS means Content Management Systems and if you are the Chief Information Officer (CIO) in a corporation, or if you are in marketing, human resources, or any other department or division that uses content to drive knowledge or to communicate, you know what CMS means to your business.

When you are planning to upgrade, migrate or create a CMS system, you need to employ an expert. You can use a CMS framework like Liferay, Umbraco, WordPress, Orchard or other frameworks to create your CMS site, but the services of expert CMS designers and developers will set your site apart from others and make it successful for team, customer, partner or supplier use.
