Vasont Systems announced the availability of the Vasont Universal Integrator (VUI) as a software extension of Vasont, a content management system that enables organizations to store their multilingual content once for delivery to print, PDF, CD-ROM and Web formats. The VUI streamlines the writing and editing process by providing a simple editorial interface so that authors and editors can access the Vasont content management system’s functionality from the toolbar menu of their favorite XML editing tools. The VUI eliminates the need for users to toggle back-and-forth between applications; instead, they can work within their editorial tools while accessing, editing, and updating their content in Vasont. www.vasont.com
