"Content management" as used in IT circles is a relatively recent term that has emerged coincident with the web. It is used in many ways to refer to many different things. "Content management" is used to describe everything from Microsoft's Front Page to Interwoven's TeamSite to Akamai's EdgeAdvantage, and those are just a small sampling of products where, at first glance, it seems like an accurate moniker.
Content management is a term that causes intelligent users and vendors to scratch their heads. As we mention in the introduction, "What is Content Management?" is easily the question we are asked more than any other (even more often than we are asked about XML), and most of the time it is vendors asking. Users usually have a concept of content management - they know what they mean and what they want, and mostly don't care what vendors and consultants think it means as long as they can get their problem solved. Vendors have a much bigger stake. They need to know that if they market a content management solution, it will be recognized as such by a critical mass of potential customers. Consultants... well, we all know about consultants.
