- 1 Please contact Envision Technologies Ltd if other document types are required.
- 2 Lotus WKS files can be read into most spreadsheet software packages.
- 3 CGM files can be imported into most software packages that utilise graphic files.
- 4 These file formats can be imported into most software packages that have database capabilities.
- 5 A replacement Windows-based product emulating OfficePower UDAP applications has been developed. It includes all the functionality of UDAP applications, along with powerful development tools for creating new applications and importing existing UDAPs into the new user environment. Please contact Envision Technologies Ltd for more details.
- 6 Use of the exported Calendar data is dependent on the import capabilities of the replacement software. The Microsoft Exchange option will produce delimited files that are formatted for import directly into Microsoft Outlook or Schedule+. Please contact Envision Technologies Ltd for more details.
- 7 The whole OfficePower Phrase Library is converted into the required document type. It is formatted so that each phrase (and its accompanying name) can be inserted into a table for ease of access.
Experience
The Renaissance OfficePower file conversion service is developed and operated by staff who have many years experience in implementing, upgrading, integrating and supporting OfficePower systems. This means that we fully understand the stages involved in migrating OfficePower users and their files into Windows-based environments; from the initial migration planning, through to the final switching off of the OfficePower server.
This also means that if you encounter a problem, we may well have already solved the same problem elsewhere.
We believe that our experience in migrating users from OfficePower is second to none and that, if OfficePower user and file migration is an issue for you and your organisation, you should be speaking to us NOW.

Cost-Effective
Converting your OfficePower files using the Renaissance service is notably more cost-effective than re-keying the information at a later date.
For example, on a 5-year-old OfficePower system supporting 50 users, a conservative estimate may ascertain over 75,000 word processing documents in existence. The cost of re-typing these documents would be over 20 times the cost of having them converted by the Renaissance service.
(The numbers used in this example originated in a report commissioned by a customer who used the Renaissance service during November and December 1997.)

Fast Turn Around
When you send your files to Envision Technologies to be converted by the Renaissance bureau service, they will typically be on their way back to you within 48 hours of us receiving them. Obviously, this turn around time depends on the number of files you are having converted but, more often than not, we can beat this stated time.
