Data Conversion

We even do square pegs...
Lightspeed specialise in Data Conversion of older data formats.

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). All this to ensure the data is archived. Unfortunately when it is archived to paper or microfilm it is obviously not as easy to access as data stored on line...

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 on-line service – this process is more commonly know as COOL – Computer Output On-Line.
