We have been asked by a company that has not upgraded Great Plains since Microsoft Business Solutions v7 - that's right - they are still using Btrieve / Pervasive and they are FINALLY scared enough of the technology failure that they are wondering what their options might be.
While I can take care of the 'new software' and getting the running on the new version pretty quick - the question being posed here is
"Does anyone have ability to migrate 4 or 5 fairly small data sets from GP 7.0 to GP2013"
Before anyone jumps on the 'not supported' bandwagon, I am aware of this.
What we are looking for is 'can it be done' - what is the cost of doing the migration - then at that point the client will decide to archieve the data and start from Jan 1, 2014 on GP 2013 with no historical data OR spend the money to migrate all the old data.
This client has data going back to at least 1997.
So, for all you old timers, putting on your thinking caps - or just dig out your old files and tools and let me know what it might look like - time and cost.
