#### What Is Sitecore CMS?

It might be more accurate to refer to Sitecore as a platform for content management, digital experience, and e-commerce rather than just a content management system (CMS). This is because it enables businesses to implement a web marketing strategy, not just manage website content. Sitecore was initially designed as a CMS, but it has matured into a powerful platform for controlling all aspects of a website, from content management to advanced AI-powered content personalization, marketing automation, and e-commerce.
Sitecore also has a product called Experience Manager, a CMS-only version of Sitecore that can be used to create, manage, and publish content. Sitecore Experience Manager could be a good option for businesses that want to enjoy Sitecore’s ability to run a powerful multisite network or multilingual website but are not planning to tap into Sitecore’s marketing automation or content personalization capabilities.
