Q: What is Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) and Content Management?

A: CWS-CARES is being built on a Salesforce platform, a cloud-based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform, and the CWS-CARES team has selected three tools that integrate seamlessly with this platform. The tools and a description of each are as follows:
