Data Conversion Services

We even do square pegs...
Lightspeed specialise in Data Conversion of older data formats. If you have a problem acessing old data in an obsolete or propriatry format, let us try to covert it for you! An intial appraisal is free and with out any obligation on your part.

Despite the proliferation of online storage, there is still a mountain of data lurking in older formats: magnetic tape or ‘printed’ out for COM (Computer Output to Microfilm). Unfortunately when it is archived to paper there can be degradation issues or even microfilm if it was not processed properly.

The alternative is COLD: the electronic archiving of computer generated reports – sales invoices, management reports, word documents and any information which is produced by businesses electronically in the normal course of events.

These reports can be taken by the bureau and processed to allow easy access to the now structured and fully indexed data. Each ‘page’ can then in turn be fully text searchable so you can retrieve your information quickly.

A variety of output formats are available, from stand alone CDs to tight integration with your own system

Alternatively we can make this data available on-line via ImageSilo, Lightspeed’s online data storage service

If you have old data that you can't acces or want converting to something you can use, please contact us to see what we can do for you.
