How PrizmDoc’s Hybrid Viewing Enhances FinTech Applications

How PrizmDoc’s Hybrid Viewing Enhances FinTech Applications

The financial services industry has seen a breathtaking amount of innovation over the last
decade thanks to fintech applications that streamline user experiences and improve
operational efficiencies. Many of these solutions incorporate third-party viewing integrations
that allow people to view and manage documents, eliminating the need to switch back and
forth between different software.

Implementing specialized viewing technology saves time and resources during the development
process so fintechs can get their products to market faster. By selecting the right integration
partner from the beginning, they can put themselves in a position to scale capabilities in the
future without suffering unexpected costs or compromising performance.

Viewing Integrations and the Problem of Scale

Fintech developers often turn to API-based viewing integrations like Accusoft’s PrizmDoc
because they provide the tremendous power and flexibility that modern financial services
applications require. Whether it’s file conversion, robust annotation, document assembly, or
redaction, fintech software must be able to provide extensive document processing features to
meet customer expectations.

In order to implement those advanced viewing capabilities, the developer usually needs to set
up a dedicated server as part of their on-premises infrastructure or in a cloud deployment. One
of the biggest advantages of API-based integrations is that customers only have to pay for the
processing resources they use, but this can also pose some challenges when it comes to scaling
application capacity.

As fintech companies expand their services, they need to be able to deliver document viewing
capabilities to a larger number of users. If each viewing session requires the server to prepare
and render documents for viewing, costs can quickly escalate. As server workloads increase,
viewing responsiveness may be affected, resulting in delays and slower performance.

While some users may still need to use server-based viewing to access more powerful imaging
and conversion features, many customers simply need a quick and easy way to view and make
minor document alterations. Fintech developers need a versatile solution that can meet both
requirements if they want to scale their services smoothly.

Introducing PrizmDoc Hybrid Viewing

PrizmDoc’s new Hybrid Viewing feature provides fintech applications the best of both worlds by
offloading the document processing workloads required for viewing to client-side devices.
Rather than using server resources to convert files into SVG format and render them for display,
Hybrid Viewing instead converts files into PDF format and then delivers that document to the
end user’s browser for viewing.

Shifting the bulk of document processing work to client-side devices significantly reduces server
workloads
, which translates into lower costs for fintech applications.

For documents not already in PDF format, the PrizmDoc Hybrid Viewing feature offers new PDF
viewing packages that pre-convert documents into PDF for fast, responsive local viewing.
By reducing the server requirements for rendering files, fintech providers can easily scale their
applications without worrying about additional users increasing their document processing
costs. PrizmDoc Hybrid Viewing also eliminates the need for separate viewing solutions
implemented to work around server-based viewing, which allows developers to streamline their
tech stack and further optimize customer experiences.

5 Ways Hybrid Viewing Enhances FinTech Applications

PrizmDoc’s Hybrid Viewing feature provides FinTech developers with several important benefits
that improve application flexibility and deliver greater value to their customers.

  1. Resource Savings
    Hybrid Viewing minimizes server loads by offloading the bulk of the processing required to view
    a document to client-side devices. Reducing server requirements translates into lower costs and
    frees up valuable processing resources for other critical fintech workloads.
  2. Scalable Viewing
    Shifting the processing work required for viewing to local devices allows fintech applications to
    scale their user base with minimal cost.
  3. Enhanced Performance
    Offloading document preparation to the end user’s device improves viewing speed and
    responsiveness, especially for large documents.
  4. Increased Productivity
    Diverting workloads to client-side devices allows application users to process, view, and manage
    multiple documents faster. Fintech developers can leverage Hybrid Viewing to provide a better
    user experience that helps their customers to be more efficient and productive.
  5. Improved Storage Management
    For documents not already in PDF format, Hybrid Viewing can utilize PDF-based viewing
    packages that are significantly smaller than conventional SVG viewing files. Files can be
    pre-converted for fast, easy viewing without taking up extra storage space.

Enhance FinTech Applications with PrizmDoc Hybrid Viewing

PrizmDoc’s new Hybrid Viewing feature allows fintech developers to seamlessly scale their
application’s viewing capabilities without having to deploy new servers or rethink their cost
structure. Shifting document processing to local devices provides end-users with faster, more
responsive performance, especially when viewing lengthy documents. By keeping
viewing-related costs low, fintech developers can focus their resources on developing new
application features that help their products stand out in an increasingly competitive market.
