Updating hardware and software systems or moving legacy data onto newer data storage devices is as complex as it is necessary. CUC Solutions, a full-service storage integrator, has cultivated expertise in this industry over the course of two decades. This experience has resulted in an in-depth knowledge of older systems and back-file conversions, giving CUC a distinct advantage in data conversion services.

Nearly all businesses require some sort of data conversion services over a given period of time. Consider the following list of reasons why businesses need data conversion services - do you see the potential for data conversion services in your workplace?

• Software can become obsolete and unsupported
• Paper data needs to become digital data
• Data storage needs modernization
• Hardware and software vendors change
• Compatibilities cease between old hardware and new software
• Business models change over time

All of these situations occur with regularity, and CUC has the experience to conduct data conversion services effectively and onsite.

Data conversion services entail much more than simply "copying files" from one system to another. CUC gets into the inner workings of each system and goes through a strict data verification process before restoring information to any new system.

To ensure that all file paths remain the same, CUC conducts tests prior to moving the data, verifying even small files are on the correct path before moving into the production phase. This process also ensures usability for end users, maintaining their data access applications after the conversion is complete.

CUC's history in the data storage industry makes it proficient in back-file conversions, including:

• Disk media
• Tape media
• Paper
• Microfilm
• Microfiche

You can preserve your legacy data even in these antiquated formats. Whether the information requires conversion from one media type to another or scanning and indexing, onsite or off, we can offer your organization conversion services that will speed the pace and widen the scope of your company's daily business operations.

An updated business plan may create the need for data conversion services, but it doesn't have to curb your productivity. CUC helps you maintain business continuity throughout a data conversion with technical precision and an end-user focus.
