| Custom Web Application Development |
Using Vasont's API/Developer's Kit,
it is possible for organizations to rapidly prototype
and deploy Web portals and Web applications. An organization's
system administrator can create customized Web user interfaces
quickly. |
Organizations can tailor the Web interface
to their specific application, making it easier to use.
|
| 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 robust repository. |
Users can 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. In addition,
Vasont supports multiple DTDs, either standard or custom. |
The system will never become outdated. |
| Multilingual Translation
Management |
Vasont has complete Unicode Transformation
Format (UTF-8 and UTF 16) support capabilities for multilingual
translation management. The integration of the Unicode
international character sets within the Vasont system
enables organizations to easily configure Vasont for language
combinations of their content and to manage and edit their
multilingual content in "chunks" from a single
source. |
Saves thousands of dollars in translation
costs. |
| Advanced Link Management |
Through its advanced bi-directional
linking, Vasont keeps track of all the content's uses
throughout the repository so that changes only need to
be made once in order to be immediately available for
global or specific uses. |
Content accuracy is ensured across
all documentation regardless of media format. |
| Exclusive Processing Options |
Vasont's exclusive processing options
are built-in system customizations that give users more
control of their business logic and allow for time-saving
event-triggered task automation. Users can define and
build their own processing options or use the system-supplied
scripts. |
Minimizes customization costs and
increases productivity. |

The
Vasont Extensions provide a solid integration between
Vasont and leading editing, review, translation, presentation,
and publishing tools. These integrations allows users

delivered to many different media channels, including
print, Web, electronic, and wireless formats. |
