What is wbCMS?

A web based content management system (wbCMS) is an application used to create, edit, manage, and publish various kinds of digital media, electronic documentation on either the internet or an intranet. wbCMS's are used for storing, controlling, and publishing documentation such as news articles, company information, technical manuals, sales guides, and marketing materials. The content managed may include computer files, image media, audio files, video files, electronic documents, and other forms of web content. Ideal Computer Concepts utilizes open source and proprietary applications for wbCMS needs. Open source is a broad term that describes a general type of software license that makes source code available to the general public with minimal or non-existent copyright restrictions. This technology is generally open to anyone for use. Open source technology usually has the ability to be deployed at a far lower cost than proprietary applications. The problem is most applications require a lot of technical expertise or assistance to implement, maintain, and upgrade. Ideal Computer Concepts provides the technical expertise and assistance needed to make the technology work for you. Our goal is to minimize your time spent keeping your website current and reduces the frustration that often comes along with managing technology. In the past we have created our own CMS systems, but with the advances in applications like Joomla! there is rarely the need to do so. Using these applications also help us speed up development time and reduce costs. Often we do have to change parts of the application to meet clients needs, but it is still much faster than start from the beginning.
