Content Management (Individual)

What is Content Management?

Content Management is the hosting and publishing of digital content for government information. The content may include text, documents, images, video and audio that when published ensures users know what an agency does, and how to access the services they provide.

Objectives

To provide a uniform and secure platform for Government Agencies to build and maintain their websites, published content and digital assets. This includes other information channels such as transaction systems, kiosks, knowledge bases, services and non-government websites.  A uniform Content Management platform provides consistency across government websites and provides cost effective solutions.
