VASONT SYSTEMS RELEASES VASONT® 12.0
New features to leading content management system focus on
project management and collaboration for writers and managers
Emigsville, PA, April 27, 2009 — Vasont Systems,
a leading provider of content management software and data
services, today announced the release of the next major version
of their content management system, Vasont® 12, that enables
users to store multilingual content once for maximum reuse
and delivery to multiple channels. This release is available
on May 1, 2009 for both the client/server and hosted (SaaS)
models.
“Vasont 12 gives users tighter control over their content,
enables virtual collaboration, and provides better project
tracking and reporting,” said Richard Schiding, President
of Vasont Systems. “The focus on improving the management
of the business process surrounding the content led to significant
enhancements that will provide additional time and cost benefits
for clients.”
Vasont 12 includes these major enhancements:
| • |
Collaborative Review package provides
effective virtual collaboration with colleagues.
Internal and external reviewers markup content with changes
and comments while seeing other reviewers’ feedback
simultaneously. Accepted changes automatically update
in Vasont, minimizing manual updates. |
| • |
Project Management tracks projects to meet publishing
deadlines. The Project Management window provides
overall statuses of workflow projects across multiple
departments and highlights overdue projects. When needed,
users can inquire for specific status information. Gantt
charts provide a graphical view of project timelines |
| • |
Translation package consolidates translation project
information in one efficient window. Vasont’s
Translation Projects window provides tracking and status
for each multi-language translation project. Translation
coordinators submit projects to multiple vendors for quote
or translation. Integrations with translation vendors
automate content delivery and status information to/from
Vasont. |
| • |
Preview feature provides a styled view of XML content
and lowers editorial costs. Vasont’s Preview
displays content in a styled view to speed up editorial
time by making content easy to read. Annotations display
in the Preview for easy review and notation. |
| • |
Content Ownership increases content security.
Specific pieces of content within a collection are restricted
to alterations by its Content Owners while other users
can only view it. Content Ownership provides an additional
layer of content security. |
| • |
Associate Administrators role provides flexibility
to coordinate administrative responsibilities across multiple
groups. Vasont’s administrative responsibilities
(changing content setups, updating user permissions, running
utilities) are delegated to Associate Administrators as
assigned by the Super Administrator to keep the system
operating efficiently across departments. |
| • |
Notifications keep users up-to-date. For users
who want to know when critical events happen, Vasont’s
Notifications alert users when activity occurs with specific
variants, workflow tasks or projects, eliminating the
need for phone calls or emails. |
| • |
Reusable Workflow Projects eliminate setup time.
Users set up Workflow Projects once and reuse them with
any content. Processes remain consistent and setup time
is saved. |
| • |
Alias Attributes and Valid Values accelerate configurations.
Attributes and valid value lists are defined once on content
Aliases and used across all related content, promoting
accuracy and reducing setup time. |
