We love content. A challenge faced by more and more of us each day involves how to best sort through and consume the immense amount of digital content delivered to us everyday through our favourite content providers. There is a lot to sift through across a virtually unlimited range of topics. In fact, one could argue that content is limited in practice only by the imagination of content providers and the demand generated by content consumers.
The content management journey
Content in the IT world is tricky. Just defining what content is can be a tough philosophical exercise, and in the digital sphere is simply defined as any media that exists in the form of digital data. Digital Media has seen radical transformations through the years and continues to do so with the likes of YouTube, Facebook, and more recently Netflix revolutionizing how end-users get to access, consume, and enjoy their content while also creating demands for new content types. However, the methods of organizing, editing, and delivering content have not seen radical changes since the introduction of the Content Management System in its most basic form in 1995 by FileNet.
