Conversion Services


Over the past 20 years, Softlink has converted library data from many other library automation systems. We currently have a library of scripts to convert twenty-five different library systems to Softlink’s products.

Our conversion process is simple and allows your work to continue without interruption. Before installation, Softlink Australia will collect the data from your old system and send our conversion manual. This manual outlines the key points of converting to our software from other systems, and what we will do to make the conversion as smooth as possible.

Our conversion specialists will write a conversion script to convert your data while you continue to work with the old system. Because we have the sample data, you can continue using the old system without worry or interruption. Once we have finished and tested the script using the data you have provided, installation and conversion may take place.
