Data conversion is a necessity in this age of information as information is vital in any organization. For an organization to function effectively, data needs to be easily accessible.

The need for data conversion is at a peak now as there are several processes and challenges present in any enterprise: mergers, acquisitions and new technology developments. The accessibility, quality and diversity of information that a firm has at its disposal is becoming increasingly important to customers. Some of the reasons why data conversion is important are:

• Sheer volume of information makes it difficult to manage
  
  
• Multiple destinations
  
  
• Multiple input formats
  
  
• Inconsistent styles
  
  
• Complexity of data
  
  
• Use data conversion to prevent data loss

Most data is stored in the form of paper files or reports and accumulate over the years, resulting in data loss. It is a tedious process to find the necessary data when you need it and even to maintain the ever increasing flow. Converting paper files to the electronic format goes a long way in keeping information accessible.
