Well for that to work you and the writers in the company need to accommodate the change from a WYSIWYG layout based workflow to a structured document based workflow inputting only structure information, with backend toolchains that generate and render the output appropriately for different target formats (HTML, EPUB, PDF etc). You can expect some effort to be needed to configure the backend toolchains to your specific company formatting needs, but then it is applied automatically every time the document is generated, each writer doesn't have to generate the formatting and layout manually, intermittently forgetting to follow the company standards :) That is where the benefits are gained. If you keep fighting that paradigm shift you will continue to be disappointed.
