Vasont’s Home page is personalized for each user, displaying his/her favorite collections, queries, and workspaces for quick access to content.

Vasont’s LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) integration allows for enterprise security with a single login for each user for organizations using LDAP. The continuation of their architecture migration includes asynchronous server side processing for loads and clones, allowing client machines to be freed up so users can continue to work on their machines while these processes are running. http://www.vasont.com
