With the rise of AI, we are entering a new era not only in regulatory but also in clinical, quality, manufacturing, labeling, and other key areas.   However, the impact, whether it can be trusted and how it can be integrated into your existing workflows are some of the questions that people ask.   We would like to highlight two use cases where AI can take significant workloads off your hands: Translation and Redaction.   How will these look in real-life examples? How will they fit into your existing lifecycles? That’s the topic of our next webinar on Thursday, November 7. You can find more details and a link to the registration page in our latest article.

“Converting to PDF is easy, and everyone does that. The problem is us spending hours and hours of time on editing PDFs with Acrobat, or other desktop tools. Especially not knowing what was wrong with the PDFs. And that is what DocShifter does for us.: fixing all our PDFs automatically, or at least telling us what is wrong and where to look in a detailed report.” This is the feedback we have received from one of our customers. Fantastic! But what did she mean? What is PDF validation anyway? Explained by Paul Ireland. ♻️ Discover the impact of automated PDF checking & fixing at a large pharma company here: https://lnkd.in/eTQSTWqN

When we started our international DocShifter journey 6 years ago, our ambition was to improve the way people dealt with documents in regulated industries: life sciences, finance, public sector. We wanted to take away the frustration of manually dealing with documents; and make their lives easier with automation.   6 years later, here we are. Working with many inspiring and happy customers from all over the world. Every conference or event we go to, people refer to us as the chocolate guys or the LinkedIn guys or dog-shifter (thanks to our company dogs). Paul Ireland has already made a reputation for himself as Mr. PDF (patent for t-shirts is pending).   Next to all these nicknames we've been given, there is a new one we are extremely proud of.   The latest World Class RIM (sm) survey from Gens and Associates Inc. marks a new milestone in our role as innovators in the life sciences sector. We are thrilled to announce that DocShifter was recognized in this industry standard benchmark as the top ranked regulatory software provider in their innovation index that measures ‘what providers are pushing industry forward’. WOW.   Even in our wildest dream we did not hope to be in that spot.   What an honor. Thank you very, very much.   Thank you to:   - Our customers for trusting us with their valuable document conversion. - Steve Gens and his team for including us in the survey! I highly recommend you check out their benchmarks and reports; and his recent podcast. (Check out all the available podcasts here: https://lnkd.in/eUmsXjAf) - the entire DocShifter team for their hard work and dedication over the past 10 years, all of the above was only possible because of you.   I am definitely popping a cold bottle of (alcohol free) Belgian beer tonight.
