The life of a publishing professional is filled with repetitive tasks that nevertheless require their undivided attention. They cannot afford to make mistakes, yet they would rather spend their time on more creative and value-adding tasks. Thanks to Switch, this is now possible.

What does Switch do?

Switch removes the repetitive tasks associated with receiving and sorting files. It automatically downloads files from one or more FTP servers, receives them as email attachments, or handles hot folders. It then sorts files into different folders or transmits them to the appropriate staff in a flexible manner so that each is ready for processing or archiving.

Switch sends notification emails to your customer service representatives or even directly back to clients whenever needed. Switch can also deliver files through email or FTP to the next step in the workflow. FullSwitch and PowerSwitch automatically interface with third-party applications used within your company.

All of this functionality is driven by the visual flow editor that is the core of all Switch products. The flow wizard allows you to create flows by answering a few questions or import sample flows that are ready to go. In addition, the full power of the visual editor can be used after the flow wizard is finished to make adjustments or expand the flow.
