Maximize uptime in rendering.
Avoid downtime. Built-in high availability.
Document conversion has become a key process within the enterprise.
Our world has shifted from analog to digital. And digital has many shapes and forms. Therefore, document conversion has become a critical process within many industries. Think of the submission publishing process within Life Sciences, or the creation of bank statements within a bank. These are business critical parts of the operation, and essential for success in these industries.
Built-in high availability from day 1.
DocShifter was conceived with high availability in mind. Since the start. The modular architecture was designed in such a way that the actual processing of the conversion can be spread over multiple servers. Making sure that load is spread evenly. And assuring business continuity should any individual server go down.
Architected
to keep you going.
From it’s initial conception, DocShifter was architected to avoid downtime.
Growing workload is spread over more conversion engines (receivers).
New Docker container is started automatically.
Should a Docker container go down, the workload is picked up by a newly started container.
Is 1 server down? Your operations can continue.
No single point of failure.

DocShifter can reduce cost in a number of ways:
- Faster performance = less servers needed = lower infrastructure costs = lower licensing costs (e.g. one customer reduced from 10 servers of their legacy tools to 3 DocShifter servers for the same amount of work).
- DocShifter does not require licenses for any Adobe technology, or the native applications used to create the content. No licenses are needed for Office or AutoCAD for example to be able to convert those file formats.
- Since DocShifter is not tied to any DMS, RIM or other platform, installation and ongoing maintenance is much simpler. This reduces internal costs to maintain the tool and any external service fees required.
- Upgrades and software support are included in the subscription fees.
