1. WHAT IS EXO CONTENT
----------------------------------------------------
	Enterprise Content Management is the strategies, methods and tools used to capture, manage, store, preserve and deliver 
contents and documents related to organizational processes with the purpose of improving operational productivity and efficiency. 
eXo Content tools and strategies allow the management of an organization's unstructured information, whether that information exists. 
The eXo Content portlet provides you with a portal solution that can help you achieve these processes easily and it is carefully 
designed so that you can leverage your business content across all formats for competitive gain. An environment for employees is also 
provided to share and collaborate digital contents as well as delivering a comprehensive unified solution with rich functionalities.
eXo Content consists of three parts: 
	DMS (Document Management System): used to store, manage and track electronic documents and electronic images. DMS allows 
documents to be modified and managed easily and conveniently by managing versions, properties, ect.
	WCM (Web Content Management): helps in maintaining, controlling, changing and reassembling the content on a web-page. It also 
helps webmasters who handle all tasks needed to run a website, including development, deployment, design, content publication and 
monitoring.
