Worried About the Switch? Seamless Data Migration for Publishers

The publishing industry has undergone a significant transformation over the last decade, and the rate of change has prompted publishers to embrace new technologies and streamlined ways of working. However, the prospect of migrating data from multiple legacy systems and maintaining data flows to essential systems can often present a significant barrier to upgrading.

We understand the complexities and challenges of data migration and offer a flexible approach to suit all publishers that will aid a smooth transition to BiblioSuite.

Our migration toolkit contains a range of flexible, out-of-the-box data migration options to suit the specific and technical needs of your publishing house, and we have vast experience developing custom migration routines to meet a range of requirements for interfacing data to and from external systems.
