We have the knowledge, experience, and tools to convert large batches of documents and data from one format to another, and to integrate documents with standard office applications for seamless document production. We have specific experience converting between:

Wordperfect <--> Microsoft Word (pictured at right)
Lotus <--> Excel
Image formats: GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PNG, BMP, etc...
Satellite data: LandSat, AVHRR, GOES, SPOT, NLAPS, etc...
Shapefile <--> Coverage
Coverage <--> Geodatabase
Raster formats: BIL, ESRI GRID, ASCII, BIP, BSQ, Surfer, etc...
GIS vector <--> GIS raster
Paper map <--> GIS data
Data/table formats: DBF, Excel, Text, INFO, etc...
...and many more

We also have experience integrating data and software products, such as automating the batch production of documents from a template in a word processor and data from a database application. The images at right show documents we converted for a client from Wordperfect to Word, preserving the mail-merge fields, and then hooked up to an Access database to drive the document production from the database.
