A web interface enabling a user to configure workflows comprising an input module, one or more transformation modules and one or more release modules. A workflow database, a task queue to store tasks resulting from the workflows. A sender service that loads a workflow, executes an input module thereof, and stores tasks resulting from the workflow in the task queue. A receiver service that reads a task from the task queue, loads a corresponding workflow, and executes the transformation modules and release modules of the workflow to transform incoming files into outgoing files.
