What is data conversion?

Data conversion is the process of transforming data from one format, structure, or system into another while preserving its integrity and meaning. This ranges from simple file format changes (PDF to Excel, XML to JSON) to complex legacy database migrations involving schema mapping, data restructuring, and validation. Businesses need data conversion when switching software platforms, merging databases after acquisitions, digitizing paper archives, or integrating systems that use different data formats. The critical requirement is zero data loss - every field, every record, every relationship must survive the conversion intact.

Any source format to any target format

File format conversion

CSV to Excel, XML to JSON, PDF to structured spreadsheet, HTML to database-ready tables, and every combination in between. We handle the format mapping, data type conversion, encoding issues, and edge cases that automated tools miss. For PDF conversions, our team manually corrects OCR errors and rebuilds table structures that automated extraction breaks.

Legacy system migration

Moving from an outdated ERP, CRM, or database to a modern platform? We map your legacy schema to the new system, convert data types, restructure relationships, and validate every record after migration. Whether you’re migrating from Access to SQL Server, flat files to Salesforce, or mainframe exports to cloud databases, we ensure nothing gets lost.

Database restructuring & normalization

Your data exists but the structure is wrong - flat tables that should be relational, denormalized schemas causing update anomalies, or inconsistent field formats across merged datasets. We restructure and normalize your database architecture while migrating the data, giving you a clean, efficient schema that scales with your business.

Why businesses outsource data conversion to Acelerar

99.5% Accuracy Guaranteed

Every converted record is validated against the source. Field-by-field comparison, data type checks, and record count reconciliation ensure nothing is lost or corrupted during conversion.

Any Format, Any Direction

CSV, Excel, XML, JSON, SQL, Access, PDF, HTML, fixed-width files, mainframe exports, and proprietary formats. If data exists in it, we convert from it and to it.

Zero Data Loss

We reconcile record counts, field mappings, and data types before and after every conversion. Discrepancy reports flag any anomalies for your review before final delivery.

65% Cost Savings

In-house conversion projects require database specialists at $70,000-$100,000/year plus tool licensing. Acelerar delivers the same expertise at 65% less, scoped per-project so you pay only for what you need.

Legacy System Expertise

We have converted data from AS/400, COBOL, dBASE, Lotus Notes, FoxPro, and other legacy systems that most vendors won’t touch. If your system predates 2000, we’ve likely worked with it.

7-14 Day Turnaround

Standard conversion projects (up to 100,000 records) are delivered in 7-14 business days. Large-scale migrations are scoped with phased timelines during planning.

From source format to target system in 5 steps

1

Analyze

We audit your source data: format, structure, volume, data types, and relationships. You receive a conversion plan with field mapping and timeline.

2

Map

Our team creates field-by-field mapping between source and target formats, handling data type conversions, encoding differences, and structural changes.

3

Convert

Data is converted using a combination of automated tools and manual processing for edge cases, with validation rules running throughout.

4

Validate

Record counts, field values, and data integrity are verified against the source. A discrepancy report flags anything that needs your review.

5

Deliver

Converted data is delivered in your target format or loaded directly into your new system, with a completion report and rollback backup.

We work with your data platforms

Our teams are trained on the platforms you already use.

Data Conversion Services FAQs

Data conversion is the process of changing data from one format, structure, or system into another while maintaining its integrity. This includes file format conversions (PDF to Excel, XML to JSON), database migrations (legacy to modern platforms), and data restructuring (flat files to relational databases).
The main types include file format conversion (CSV, Excel, XML, JSON, PDF), database migration (legacy to modern platforms), document digitization (paper to digital), media conversion (image and audio format changes), encoding conversion (character set and language encoding), and schema restructuring (flat to relational, denormalized to normalized).
Simple file format conversions start at $500-$2,000 per project. Complex database migrations with schema mapping typically range from $3,000-$15,000 depending on volume and structural complexity. We quote per-project based on record count, source format, target format, and turnaround requirements.
Yes. We specialize in legacy conversions including AS/400, COBOL, dBASE, Lotus Notes, FoxPro, Access 97/2000, flat-file mainframe exports, and proprietary database formats. Our team has completed migrations from systems dating back to the 1980s.
We support CSV, TSV, Excel (XLS/XLSX), XML, JSON, SQL, Access (MDB/ACCDB), PDF, HTML, fixed-width text, EDI, YAML, Parquet, Avro, and most proprietary flat-file formats. If data is stored in it, we can convert from it.
We use a three-checkpoint validation process: pre-conversion audit (record counts, field inventories), in-process validation (data type checks, null handling, encoding verification), and post-conversion reconciliation (field-by-field source-to-target comparison). Every project includes a discrepancy report.
Simple format conversions (under 10,000 records) are typically completed in 3-5 business days. Standard projects (10,000-100,000 records) take 7-14 business days. Large-scale migrations (100,000+ records or complex schema changes) are scoped with phased timelines during the planning stage.
Yes. We have migrated databases with millions of records across platforms. Large migrations are executed in phases: pilot batch (1,000 records) for validation, then incremental batches with checkpoint reviews. This approach minimizes risk and ensures accuracy at scale.
Yes. PDF to Excel is one of our most requested services. We handle scanned PDFs (OCR extraction and cleanup), native PDFs (direct extraction), and complex table structures that automated tools typically break. XML conversion includes schema mapping, namespace handling, and XSD validation.
Approximately 5-15% of records in any conversion require manual intervention: OCR errors, ambiguous field mappings, encoding issues, or records that don’t fit the target schema. Our team manually processes these exceptions, documents decisions, and flags edge cases for your review before final delivery.
