Generation of content management system

Content management originally originated from the complex data content used by many ICP companies to manage them. According to a survey by Gartner Group, on average, every knowledge worker spends 8 hours every week on non value-added related document processing tasks, including document creation, search, sorting, etc. A large government website or enterprise website may publish thousands, tens of thousands or even more articles every day. How to use advanced technology, save manpower and material resources, and how to reduce editorial staff as much as possible while increasing content services are the problems that these large enterprises constantly think about.

With the popularization of network applications, the number of structured and unstructured content within enterprises is increasing. According to IDC statistics, the global data storage volume nearly doubles every 18 months. In such a large amount of data, 80% of the data is unstructured data. Enterprise employees spend a lot of time on content management and considerable energy on searching for content. Up to one third of their working time is spent on these tasks. This kind of useless activity will only increase.

On the one hand, it is low content processing efficiency, and on the other hand, it is the expanding mass content. This simple fact contrast reflects an urgent need for enterprises and governments to effectively manage content.

To sum up, the following points are the main factors that lead to the demand for content management. Decentralized and chaotic data and information cannot form competitiveness. It must be integrated into organized content to give full play to its value.
