Data Conversion Service for the Viewpoint Construction Software

Welcome to Atlanta Information Technology Services (AITS) Viewpoint Data Conversion. We have been providing data conversion services for Viewpoint clients since 1999. Since then, we have successfully converted 30 plus clients from various accounting systems to Viewpoint Construction Software. We help companies to successfully migrate from their legacy accounting and project management systems by automating the conversion process for importing master and transactional data records. Each conversion is customized for each company to meet their special needs.

We help companies determine the most efficient and effective method for converting their data to ensure the successful and on-time migration and implementation. A typical conversion begins by the customer attending Viewpoint training in Portland. Once they return back to their office, the team will setup a test company within the Viewpoint Construction Software, establish a go-live schedule, and determine the data conversion scope. With the data conversion scope, AITS establishes a consistent and reliable connection to the legacy systems and Viewpoint Construction Software.

Next, AITS creates customized scripts based on the customer’s needs to import the master record data into the test company such as the vendors, customers, employees and their deductions, equipment, jobs, chart of accounts, subcontracts, purchase orders and other non-transactional data. After the master records have been review, then AITS creates the scripts in import the detail transactional data such as general ledger detail by month, job cost detail by month, equipment cost and usage, account payables that applies to subcontracts, purchase orders, jobs and expense accounts.

As each of the modules transactions are imported, the customer team verifies the integrity of the data. A couple of weeks prior to the conversion, a company copy is performed. A company copy will copy the company setup information from the test company to the live company. After the copy, the master files are updated with from the legacy. Typically, the legacy system is scheduled to end on a Friday and that weekend is when the conversion is finalized. On Monday, the payroll is ready and the rest of the modules follow as the reconciliations for each module is completed.
