Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) is a Microsoft product intended for small to medium enterprises that require content management functionality on their web site, intranet or portal.

History

Microsoft Content Management Server was originally developed by a Canadian software company named NCompass Labs. It was first marketed as ActiveEnterprise in 1997[1] and later changed its name to NCompass Resolution.[2] In 2001 NCompass Labs was purchased by Microsoft for $36 million dollars[3] and the product was re-released under MCMS branding.
