What is the ballpark cost of converting our data files?
Most Brainerd Group conversions are quoted at about $6,000-10,000 to convert CLIENT.DBF, OPS.DBF, NOTES.DBF, CREDITOR.DBF and Creditor addresses. Dave Sledges Baton Rouge software conversions are currently quoted at about $15,000. The high cost has to do with the number of files and the fact the data files are encrypted and inaccessible for direct conversion. A Baton Rouge conversion takes print files and forms data files. Costs will run higher. It will be necessary to use one of Baton Rouges programmers to build these print files for you. If may also need to contract with someone locally to move these print files from the Baton Rouge Unix box to the new NT server for conversion. Conversion costs on all other credit counseling software will be quoted once sample data and file layout information is provided to CPR.
