Moving to a new system doesn't have to mean starting from scratch. Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) — a trusted, industry-proven tool — is designed to efficiently convert virtually any SQL database or text file into SQL Server tables, giving your data a reliable path forward. At the heart of this process is an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) approach that bridges the gap between your legacy data and the structure and content ABW expects — extracting data from your existing system, transforming it to meet ABW's requirements, and loading it cleanly into its new home.

But conversion is more than a technical process.

The real work lies in understanding your data — mapping tables from your old system to the new one, interpreting relationships, and ensuring nothing gets lost in translation. This step requires deep knowledge of both systems, and it's one we guide you through with care, regardless of where you're starting from.

Data cleanup is often part of the journey too. Legacy systems accumulate inconsistencies over time, and arriving at ABW with clean, accurate data sets you up for long-term success. If your team can handle this internally, it's a meaningful cost saver. If not, budgeting for this service is a smart investment — especially when weighed against the high licensing fees you'll leave behind.

Go Live on Your Terms

Once conversion and testing are complete, ABW can be deployed to the environment that suits your business best — on-premises or cloud-hosted. Transitions are typically scheduled for a Saturday, minimizing disruption to your operations and ensuring a smooth, confident go-live.
