True Single-Sourcing	Vasont maximizes the reuse potential of an organization's content by ensuring that only one copy of the content exists in its repository.	Allows users to edit their content once for reuse many times.
Unique Data Storage Model	Because Vasont was created by developers with publishing roots, its flexible data storage model was developed to accommodate today's industry standards (XML, DITA, SCORM), as well as standards yet to be developed.
