A content management system (CMS) is a computer application used to create, edit, manage, search and publish various kinds of digital media and electronic text.[1] CMSs are frequently used for storing, controlling, versioning, and publishing industry-specific documentation such as news articles, operators' manuals, technical manuals, sales guides, and marketing brochures. The content managed may include computer files, image media, audio files, video files, electronic documents, and Web content.

There are three main categories of CMS, with their respective domains of use: Enterprise CMS Web CMS Component CMS

Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) [1] is a standards proposal consisting of a set of Web services for sharing information among disparate content repositories that seeks to ensure interoperability for people and applications using multiple content repositories. EMC, IBM, Microsoft, Alfresco, Open Text, SAP and Oracle have joined forces to propose CMIS, the first Web services technical specification for exchanging content with and between Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems. The standards proposal has been registered for public comment with OASIS.

Open Text has partnered with Recommind, a provider of enterprise search and eDiscovery solutions, to offer a new product called Open Text eDiscovery Early Case Assessment

The solution promises to minimize the need for third-party processing and help control the high costs of legal reviews by culling irrelevant information before it goes for review by outside counsel.

The goal here is to let organizations quickly assess the legal merits of a case and defensibly manage legal holds and collection for eDiscovery, regulatory and compliance requests.
