Problem	Solution
“Publishing all 20 volumes of our encyclopedia to print, CD-ROM, and Web is a coordination nightmare.”	Multi-Channel Publishing: Vasont makes it easy to repurpose content to multiple media channels as frequently as needed without creating additional editorial work.
“We manage a cancer reference publication and we need to create a spin-off booklet on breast cancer.”	Metadata and Search: Vasont stores metadata about the content, allowing for fast searches to locate topic-oriented content. Vasont then enables users to quickly drag-and-drop the appropriate existing content to new documents.
“Maintaining accurate indexes and cross references takes up a large amount of time in our editorial department.”	Advanced Link Management: Vasont’s bidirectional link management eliminates incomplete cross references and inaccurate indexes by automating the process and forcing users to resolve cross references before linked content can be deleted.
“It is hard for us to publish our reference materials as quickly as new advances in the field are announced.”	Automated Workflow: Vasont enables timely delivery of documentation through automated workflow functionality that notifies users of their pending tasks and due dates to help them meet aggressive production schedules.
“Our clients rely on our publications for accurate and complete information; mistakes cannot be tolerated.”	Global Change and Redlining: Any change made to a content instance in Vasont can be globally applied to some or all instances, ensuring accuracy across all documents. Vasont's Redline Report allows users to review summaries of those changes.
