# How do you balance on-prem data privacy with setup and indexing time in Smodin?

We like that Smodin can run entirely on our own IT infrastructure, keeping patient files and billing info behind our firewall. The project setup helps keep each audit organized, and the text system does a solid job interpreting PDFs and scanned charts while citing the exact page it used. The tradeoff is a longer prep process with IT security and slower processing when uploading a large batch all at once. If you run it locally too, how did you handle the initial setup and the wait for big uploads?
