Sage BusinessVision (BV) Migration: Team Helps Customers Move Data to Sage 300 ERP

If you are a Sage BusinessVision (BV) Accounting customer, you are probably among the other more than 5,000 BV customers who are considering whether or not it’s a good time for an ERP upgrade. Mantralogix an experienced and certified ERP consulting team with extensive knowledge of both Sage BusinessVision and Sage 300 ERP (formerly Sage Accpac).  We are proud to be selected by Sage as an endorsed data migration partner working closely with Sage.  We provide services related to migrating Sage BusinessVision Accounting (BV) customers to Sage 300 ERP. We have received several requests specifically to support data migration from our own Sage BusinessVision customers and have a dedicated team to help migrate your current data to Sage 300 ERP.

The biggest question we get from our Sage BusinessVision (BV) customers is how difficult is it to migrate the years of data.  The migration services we provide usually include two parts – preliminary migration and cutover migration. During preliminary migration, our team will convert the BV master data to Sage 300 ERP master files. Those master files include Chart of Accounts, Venders, Customers, Bank and Tax Information, and any other setup files for the company. They can be used for setting up the pilot company and test company. The pilot company is for initial setup and further configuration or customization and would be used for going live. The test company could be for training and testing purposes.

At cutover migration, we will convert the changes in Sage BusinessVision (BV) master data and extract the opening balances for each module from the current data. The changes and opening balances will be loaded into the pilot company and test company. After a verification process, the pilot company data would be used for going live. The migration covers all modules from Sage BusinessVision (BV) including Company profile, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, General Ledger, Bank, Tax, Inventory Control, Purchase Order and Sales Order modules.
Our team also provides some special migration services, for example transaction history, form / report customization and integration services. Some customers ask for several years of GL transaction history, others may require AP and AR transaction history as well. Our migration team is fully equipped to cover any types of requirements for the data migration.
