VASONT SYSTEMS UNVEILS VERSION 12.2 OF
THE VASONT® CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
New features provide terminology management, content branching,
and additional reporting capabilities
Emigsville, PA, December 14, 2009 — Vasont
Systems, a leading provider of content management software
and data services, today announced the release of the next
interim version of their content management system, Vasont®
12.2, that enables users to store multilingual content once
for maximum reuse and delivery to multiple channels. This
release focuses on enhancing productivity for writers managing
modular content using DITA, other industry-standard and custom
DTDs. This release is available on December 14, 2009 for both
the perpetual license and hosted (SaaS) content management
system models.
New features in Vasont 12.2 include:
| • |
Revisions feature – The Revisions
feature is a branching capability that allows users to
track and manage changes to modular content in relation
to its original source content. All users who own content
that references the modular content are alerted when it
is revised so they can evaluate the changes with a new
Revision Compare window and then link to the revision
that best suits their document. This feature makes it
easy for clients to work on multiple versions of their
content simultaneously. |
| • |
Controlled Vocabulary feature – This
feature allows organizations to manage the terminology
used in their documentation by defining “allowed
terms” to be used and “restricted terms”
to be avoided. By controlling the terminology that is
used by the writers, documentation is cleaner, more consistent,
and less confusing to the consumer. It also maximizes
content reuse for easier and faster revision cycles. Vasont
provides automated techniques for users to build dictionaries
from content in existing Vasont collections or from other
sources outside of Vasont. This feature can also identify
misspelled and unrecognized words and allow authorized
users to enhance the dictionary. |
| • |
Content Exception Report - The Content Exception
Report allows users to avoid taking action on content
before it is approved and complete. It is particularly
useful for identifying items that may interfere with publishing,
and may also be used for diagnosing referenced modular
content with specific criteria, such as draft status and
specific edit dates. |
“This interim release of Vasont provides more tools
for clients to better manage their editorial and publishing
processes,” said Richard Schiding, President of Vasont
Systems. “It’s important for documentation to
be accurate, and these new features give users even more ways
to ensure the content’s integrity.”
