Nashua, New Hampshire – June 23, 2003 – ConverterTechnology, a recognized global leader in file migration strategies and conversion technology, today announced their cost-saving services will be immediately available in the United States. While the growth in the number of PC’s has slowed in recent years, the number of files an organization uses has increased exponentially. The use of ConverterTechnology’s product methodology and services automates the conversion process and eliminates the error prone task of manual conversion.

”We are excited and pleased to offer our expanded services and methodology for migrating Microsoft Office files through our U.S. operations in Nashua, New Hampshire,” said Steve Roche, CTO and General Manager of ConverterTechnology USA. “Industry-standard applications like Microsoft Excel and Access are periodically upgraded in order to provide new features and take advantage of the speed of today’s machines and new interoperability standards. Migrating files to these latest versions has long plagued businesses intent on remaining up-to-date, often resulting in the use of old and out-dated software applications. Although software applications may have a limited life, their files should never become obsolete. With our file migration service, organizations can finally solve this enormous problem with a timely process to move incompatible files to the latest versions of Microsoft Office.”

Founded in Australia in 1997, ConverterTechnology has long been a solid provider of cost-effective migration technology around the globe. Years of real-world practical conversion experience has been captured and built into OfficeConverter™, a propriety software application. ConverterTechnology’s file conversion engine, eliminates both documented and undocumented problems, delivering cost-effective solutions that allow business and organizations to convert and migrate their files and documents seamlessly to more recent versions of Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) Office.

"The greatest document conversion costs associated with migrating from one office productivity suite to another result from converting highly customized documents, such as templates and documents with embedded macros," said Tim Hickernell, Vice President, META Group. "Companies often put too much focus on converting simple, rarely used documents and not enough on converting complex documents used in core business process automation."



ConverterTechnology has given businesses both large and small the freedom to go about their business without investing large amounts of time and money to up-skill their internal resources for what is ultimately a one-off project. ConverterTechnology has produced solid, proven methodologies that streamline the whole process. The Company has tools, developed by experienced engineers, to fully automate the conversions, saving an enormous amount of time and virtually eliminating the error prone task of manual file conversion.

ConverterTechnology services are so flexible that the Company will work with its customers in the way that best fits their environment or structure. ConverterTechnology engineers can do the complete migration job or, if an organization or business has experienced engineers available, ConverterTechnology can license the use of the methodology and technology and provide the necessary training for in-house use. In addition, they will assist with migrations where organizations outsource IT services to a third party.

Roche continued, “Our migration solutions combine the latest conversion technologies available with expert strategies and methods to ensure that businesses and their staffs can quickly return to what they do best.”

ConverterTechnology’s offering is available immediately worldwide and includes the following key areas of file migration services:

• Upgrade of Microsoft® Access, Excel, Word and VBA applications to the latest versions of Microsoft Office
• Conversion from Microsoft Access to Microsoft SQL
• Conversion migration from Lotus 123 to Microsoft Excel
