Content Management seems to be comprised of elements from Information Technology, Configuration Management, Data Management, and Knowledge Management.

Each of them incorporated some technology areas and disciplines, all of them are woefully lacking in Configuration Management and Data Management functions, and none of them are entirely successful as standalone solutions. The good news is that as ?Content Management? has evolved conceptually, it?s become obvious what the critical missing ingredients are: CM and DM.
