Vasont
The Vasont Difference
At TransPerfect we understand that just as no two organizations produce products in the same way, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all CCMS solution. That’s why we offer the Vasont Inspire system for organizations new to XML-based authoring.
It's never been easier for content contributors and subject-matter experts to create, edit and review their content. The Vasont Inspire Component Content Management System (CCMS) presents an intuitive and simple user experience to advance the content development and publishing cycles for content contributors that are not familiar with the dynamics of XML. This web-based XML publishing system can be conveniently accessed anywhere, anytime for prompt updates.
Built-in editor and review tools
Vasont Inspire provides a beautiful editing experience for content authors, content contributors, and subject-matters experts. It automates collaboration, allowing contributors to exchange comments with other contributors. Reviewers work in a Microsoft Word-like interface for commenting and tracking changes while seeing other reviewers’ comments in real time.
Integrated content organizer and project manager.
The Vasont Inspire user experience provides flexibility for separate teams to organize and manage projects in the way that makes sense for each group. Teams can organize and manage writing assignments by project, and the user experience offers team managers quick and easy tracking of projects and assignments.
Prompt and simple email notifications.
The system sends email notifications automatically with clear and concise assignments, instructions, and tasks.
Content integrity and protection.
Using single sign-on (SSO) technology, the Vasont Inspire CCMS ensures content protection through administrative capabilities that grant access only to authorized users with the proper credentials.
Simple reporting.
The Vasont Inspire CCMS displays dashboards with pertinent scheduling and user information for each project to make project tracking effortless.
Version history and audit trail.
Build DITA Content with the Vasont Inspire CCMS
Vasont Inspire provides DITA-specific functionality and reporting. It allows users to search content quickly, control user access to content, and analyze reused content’s ROI, all under a protective umbrella of advanced security. DITA-specific features include:
Enhanced searching of components and attributes with no special processing
Vasont’s DITA content management capabilities allow users to search for content components and attributes without special processing, including Boolean and complex searches. This allows you to search across DITA content and metadata without incurring extra time or cost.
Intelligent interaction between referenced content
Vasont’s DITA solution facilitates intelligent, bi-directional interaction between source and target conrefs. This manages global revisions and content reuse effectively.
Modular content management
DITA maps and their corresponding topics can be viewed and processed concurrently. This speeds up the content processing times to help meet schedules.
Related topic- and map-level workflows
Workflows for maps and their corresponding topics are integrated with checkpoints and alerts at relevant steps in the DITA XML content management system’s processes. This controls publishing of incomplete or unapproved content.
Management of multiple active branches
The Vasont DITA CCMS processes and monitors multiple active maps and topics in simultaneous releases for better DITA management. This provides coordination and automatic tracking across multiple releases running concurrently.
Missing or broken reference reports
Reports generated from the Vasont DITA CCMS provide information on unresolved errors that will negatively affect the publishing process. This prevents errors in publishing before content goes live, assuring you won’t need to backtrack and hunt for errors.
Full integration with the free DITA Open Toolkit
DITA content can be published from the Vasont DITA CCMS directly through the DITA Open Toolkit to provide access to a wide range of deliverables including PDF publishing and compiled help. This provides free DITA publishing tools for multichannel delivery.
Advanced Security
Vasont Systems' excellent administrative capabilities ensure only authorized users can access your DITA content management system. You control all user and content access rights. This guards against costly data breaches and allows you to concentrate on content management instead of security issues.
Translation management
With complete Unicode Transformation Format capabilities (UTF 8), our DITA content management system supports multilingual translation and reuse at both topic and component levels. This saves significantly on translation costs.
Tracking and Measurement of Content Reuse
Our DITA content management interface shows where and who uses content at all times and provides statistics and reports on content use. This allows you to quickly evaluate the ROI on reused content.
Project Management
Managers and leaders can view the progress and status of all content within the Vasont DITA content management system. This allows you to quickly view content maps for accurate analysis of project progression.
Integration with
GlobalLink Project
Director
Vasont Inspire integrates seamlessly with TransPerfect’s GlobalLink® Project Director. The connector to Project Director allows transmission of approved content and its resulting translations without human intervention to prepare or transmit files, reducing cycle times by more than 50 percent.
The combination of Vasont Inspire CCMS and GlobalLink Project is a simple, unified process. Localization coordinators initiate translation jobs from the Vasont interface and the content to be translated flows electronically to Project Director for expert translation. When the translation work is complete, the content flows back into Vasont Inspire electronically and automatically. The result is translation projects free of lengthy and costly delays.
