There are a plague of websites on the internet that display out of date information to its users. Displaying such information will reduce the likelihood of users revisiting the site and perhaps cause potential legal issues.

The dilemma of out of date content may be due to the face that websites are being created statically, with no ability to update the content dynamically. One simple answer to this is for a web developer to add the functionality for content of a website to be updated at any time without extensive technical knowledge to do so.

Such a system is often referred to as a CMS (Content Management System). CMS’s are generally used by large numbers of people to contribute information to one or a number of websites, an example of a large CMS in use today is the Wikipedia website. The CMS can usually be managed and updated with ease from a backend administration logon.

CMS can be used to share and distribute computer files, media files, audio files, electronic documents and web content, as well as archive content which can be accessed by searching a past day, month or year.

Some organisations use CMS to share or move project documents across their network, for different departments to access, approve or amend. This allows organisations to control and manage their projects and files easier as the system can notify them on every step of the “Workflow Process” to completion.
