Data Conversion

Your data is perhaps your most important resource. Client and vendor lists, product pricing, account structures, open invoices, and sales history all represent years of business history.

Retaining such data as part of a software system conversion helps ensure your staff is productive with your new software system from the start. It also saves the tremendous time and labor burden involved in re-keying. In short, accurate data conversion can mean the difference between a successful conversion with high employee acceptance, and a conversion wrought with frustration.

Oates & Company has experience converting data from a wide range of applications, from entry-level software such as Peachtree® by Sage, to legacy mainframe applications. Our consultants are skilled at analyzing your old database, making recommendations for the conversion process, and building and executing data conversion routines.
