How to replace CompuSet
quickly & easily

What is CompuSet in fact?

CompuSet is a data-driven, dynamic renderer that creates documents very quickly and flexibly on the basis of style definitions. CompuSet is a program from the 1970s, still in use today, that generates documents

CompuSet is maintenance-free since the mid-2000s – therefore in need of replacement.

However, as the original company was no longer in existence—after being sold, merged and taken over several times—in the early noughties a bridge was set up, enabling maintenance of the product to be continued. This was an attempt to bring what was actually a very successful program into the 21st century.

How do you sustainably migrate a complete communication landscape that took years of hard work to set up, though?

To do this, you need a product that understands exactly what CompuSet has been performing and starts exactly at the point where you want to remove CompuSet. Best of all, painlessly, quickly and without a great deal of programming work.

In addition, the new product must be just as powerful and easy to maintain. However, it must also meet the requirements of the 21st century in terms of convenience, user support, trends and methods.

docTYPE as solution for the CompuSet problem

docTYPE is a product that has the ability to seamlessly slip into the gap left by CompuSet. In some projects, it has been possible to perform a complete migration in a matter of just a few hours. Which, in view of the alternative—complete new development—will probably save the company concerned a 7-digit cost in euros.
