Can I migrate from Excel 2016 to another accounting/ERP system?
Migrating from Excel 2016 to a new business system requires careful planning to ensure data
integrity and completeness. We help businesses transition between accounting, ERP, and business
management systems by: analyzing your current data structure, mapping data fields to the new system,
extracting and transforming your data, validating the converted information, and assisting with
the import process. Our goal is a smooth transition with zero data loss.
What file formats can Excel 2016 export to?
Common data export formats supported by business software systems like Excel 2016 include:
Excel (XLSX, XLS), CSV (comma-separated values), XML, JSON, PDF reports, SQL database dumps,
and proprietary backup formats. We work with all standard formats and can convert between formats
as needed. If your system uses a proprietary format, we have tools and techniques to access and
convert the data to more universal formats.
If your software has restricted data export capabilities, alternative methods may be available.
Many systems allow exporting reports to PDF, Excel (XLSX), CSV, or XML formats. Database migration specialists
can often access underlying data structures directly. Contact Lawrence Nobs at
