A Content Management System (CMS) and a Digital Asset Management (DAM) system serve different purposes: CMS focuses on creating, managing, and publishing web content. It includes tools for website design, content creation, and user management. DAM specializes in storing, organizing, and retrieving digital assets. It provides advanced search, metadata management, and version control for media files. While a CMS handles the content displayed on a website, a DAM manages the underlying digital assets used across various platforms and projects.
