Content management system is a procedural system that determines how work flows in any given work environment. With reference to the web environment, content management system may be limited to the creation, control, storage and deployment of individual contents on a given web page. Content management system is differentiated from static pages through a number of ways. Ultimately, whereas content management system should enable a manipulative approach towards the use of the web pages in question, static pages give web users no manipulative option of altering the content of the page. Rather, users act as passive beneficiaries who receive the information on the web pages just as they have been stored. This means that given a number of users receiving information from a single server, all users will at any given time receive the same information. Even though the internet has today come to be a great transformation that depends on the principles of content management system in a dynamic way, Eldridge (2001) notes that the internet used to consist solely of HTML or static web pages, that is, web pages that are not changed before being displayed in a web browser. Today, content management system is at the center of the internet and controls almost all web site creation processes. Present internet experts and web creating experts depend on content management system to “lower the barriers to entry and make it easier to launch a site, keep it updated and get more out of it” (Miller, 2012). This means that content management system is being used to do away with impediments that made the accessibility to websites more difficult in times past. It is also being used to make the ownership and maintenance of websites more free flowing and... ... middle of paper ... ...E LIST The Information Architecture Institute, The Problems with CMS. 2003.

The internet works on the basis that some computers act as ‘servers’. These computers offer services for other computers that are accessing or requesting information, these are known as ‘clients’. The term “server” may refer to both the hardware and software (the entire computer system) or just the software that performs the service. For example, Web server may refer to the Web server software in a computer that also runs other applications or it may refer to the computer system dedicated only to the Web server applicant. For example, a large Web site could have several dedicated Web servers or one very large Web server.

The internet is an universal collection of millions of computers and networks combined in a larger network. Therefore, no one owns or runs the internet. There are providers controlling each network and each network is locally funded and administered. The internet provides a ton of information varying from games to food recipes. It serves general knowledge on any topic and is available to anyone who can access it. All the information we are able to access are organized by using hypermedia, which uses hypertext. Hypermedia is a document embedded with references to audio, text, images, video, and other documents. Hypertext is a form of codes for links consumers can click on. One of the greatest things about the internet is allowing us to socialize with others wherever and whenever we want. We are able to communicate with our family and friends all around the world. However, what happens if in ten years from now, the internet becomes the Boutique Network. The Boutique Network is a reductive nonetheless de-centralized model of all networks. Our government and service providers are beginning to take control and altering the internet into independent intranets.

When developing any product, changes always occur from customer needs, approval rectifications, human error and the expected performance of the product. Moreover, people always bring about new ways of doing things or solving a particular problem, the process of ensuring that all these changes occur successfully is known as configuration control (Crow, 2002). For configuration control to be successful, document control has to be efficiently done.
