Parashift

Implementing the Parashift platform is designed to be fast, flexible, and user-friendly. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how the process typically unfolds:

1. Initial Consultation & Requirements Gathering
   The process begins with a discovery session where Parashift’s team or a certified partner works with your organization to understand your document types, workflows, and integration needs.

2. Platform Access & Onboarding
   Once the scope is defined, you receive access to the Parashift cloud platform. The onboarding includes setting up your tenant (workspace), user roles, and initial configurations.

3. Document Type Configuration
   You can choose from over 400 pre-configured document types or create custom ones. For unique documents, Parashift allows you to define specific fields, patterns, and layouts using its no-code interface.

4. Workflow Setup
   You configure document workflows—such as separation, classification, extraction, and quality control—using the platform’s intuitive UI. This includes setting up rules for routing, validation, and export.

5. Integration with Existing Systems
   Parashift supports integration via APIs and webhooks. You can connect it to your ERP, CRM, or DMS to automate document ingestion and data export.

6. Training & Testing
   If you’re using custom document types, you can train the platform using a small set of sample documents. Thanks to One Touch Learning®, the system quickly adapts and improves with minimal input.

7. Go-Live & Monitoring
   After testing, the system goes live. You can monitor document processing in real time, review exceptions, and make adjustments as needed.

8. Continuous Improvement
   As documents are processed, Parashift’s Document Swarm Learning® continuously enhances accuracy by learning from anonymized data across all users.

Implementation Timeframe:
For standard use cases using pre-configured document types, implementation can take as little as a few days to a couple of weeks. For more complex, customized workflows, it may take 4–6 weeks, depending on the scope and integration depth.

Parashift is highly customizable and built to adapt to specific business needs. Here are the key customization features:

• Custom Document Types: You can define your own document types if your business uses forms or formats not covered by the 400+ pre-built templates

• Field-Level Configuration: Customize which fields to extract, how they’re validated, and how they’re mapped to your systems.

• Workflow Customization: Tailor the document processing pipeline—separation, classification, extraction, QC, and export—to match your internal processes.

• Branding & UI Customization: You can customize the platform’s interface with your company’s logo and branding

• Multi-Tenant Support: Ideal for BPOs or large enterprises, Parashift allows managing multiple tenants (clients or departments) under one umbrella.

• API & Webhook Integration: Easily integrate with your existing software stack using REST APIs and webhooks

• Language & Format Flexibility: Supports structured, semi-structured, and unstructured documents in multiple languages and formats.

Parashift follows a transparent and inclusive pricing model:

• No Annual Maintenance Fees: All maintenance and platform updates are included in the subscription

• Pay-as-You-Go Model: You only pay for what you use, based on the volume of documents processed and the features you access.

• Professional Services (Optional): If you require tailored onboarding, training, or configuration support, these are billed separately through Parashift’s Professional Services team

Parashift offers a range of training and support services to help new users get up to speed:

Parashift is built with enterprise-grade security in mind, especially given its focus on processing sensitive documents. Key security features include:

• Cloud-Native Architecture: Hosted in secure, scalable cloud environments with high availability.

• Data Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit and at rest to ensure confidentiality.

• Access Controls: Role-based access management ensures that only authorized users can view or modify data.

• Compliance Standards: Parashift adheres to strict data protection regulations, including GDPR, and follows best practices for information security.

• Anonymized Learning: Document Swarm Learning® uses anonymized data to train models, ensuring no sensitive information is exposed during AI training

Parashift follows a continuous delivery model, meaning updates are released regularly and automatically applied to the cloud platform. These updates include new features, performance improvements, bug fixes, and security enhancements. Users can track these changes through the Release Notes section of the Parashift Support Center. Since the platform is cloud-native, updates are managed entirely by Parashift, requiring no manual intervention or downtime on the client side.

Parashift maintains a clear and customer-centric data ownership policy:

• You own your data: All documents and extracted data processed through the platform remain the property of the customer.

• Data Portability: Parashift provides multiple options for exporting data, including JSON and CSV formats, via its REST API or manual download. This ensures that organizations can retrieve and migrate their data at any time without vendor lock-in.

• Anonymized Learning: While Parashift uses anonymized data to improve its AI models (via Document Swarm Learning®), it does so without compromising individual customer data privacy.

Parashift is designed to be highly scalable and flexible, making it easy for organizations to adjust their usage as needs evolve:

• Pay-as-You-Go Model: You only pay for what you use, based on document volume and features accessed. This makes it easy to scale up or down without renegotiating contracts.

• No Long-Term Lock-ins: The platform supports dynamic scaling, allowing businesses to increase or decrease usage without incurring penalties or requiring infrastructure changes.

• Multi-Tenant Architecture: Ideal for enterprises and BPOs, Parashift supports multiple tenants under one account, making it easy to expand across departments or clients.

• Elastic Performance: The cloud infrastructure ensures that performance scales automatically with demand, maintaining speed and reliability even during peak loads

• Flexible Subscription Model: Parashift operates on a pay-as-you-go or subscription basis, allowing organizations to scale usage up or down without long-term lock-in.

• No Setup or Maintenance Fees: There are no hidden costs for setup or ongoing maintenance, which simplifies contract management

• Cancellation Policy: Customers can cancel their subscription, and Parashift ensures that all customer data is securely and permanently deleted upon request. This includes documents and associated metadata, while anonymized training data remains non-identifiable

• Data Portability: Before cancellation, customers can export their data in standard formats (e.g., JSON, CSV) via API or manual download, ensuring full data portability.

• Renewal Terms: Renewals are typically automatic unless otherwise specified in the service agreement. Customers can manage their subscription terms directly or through their account manager.
