A content management system is an application that can be used to organise, publish and manage large amounts of content. This content can be images, documents, and other types of multimedia files. Content management systems typically offer: •#Ability to import and develop content •#Control of different versions of files •#Detection of system users and assignment of roles •#Alerts for developers if the content is altered •#Publication of relevant content to a specific storage area These systems are also intended to handle the logistics of collaborative document development. Document management systems are one subset of content management systems. These can be used by organisations to trace and warehouse both electronic documentation and scanned versions of paper-based documents. These systems aim to simplify document retrieval, security, file management, archiving, distribution and workflow.

Long Beach, CA ? In the month of May alone, Laserfiche, a leading provider of digital document management and records management systems, has won the business of five new California cities: the City of Brawley, the City of Oroville, the City of Tehachapi, the City of Petaluma and the City of Westminster. Stephen Weinberg, Laserfiche's regional sales manager for California, attributes this success to the fact that Laserfiche has obtained government certification year after year for each new version of its software, demonstrating its commitment to government customers. Laserfiche now works with over 200 cities in the state of California, and with thousands more cities across the U.S. and around the world.
?I believe that Laserfiche really stands out to city governments because we help them ensure compliance with freedom of information legislation and open public records laws by offering products like WebLink, Web Access and Audit Trail,? Weinberg
said. ?Laserfiche software is built on the Microsoft? platform and integrates easily with the software city governments use every day. We also have a team of in-house experts who work with their IT departments and staff on an ongoing basis.?
Weinberg added that most of his municipal customers want the stability of an established document management vendor they can trust.
