Founded in 1997, the company set out to help clients deal with Y2K date conversion issues. Having solved those IT problems, the company executives saw another opportunity. The same rules and tools developed to automate repair of Y2K problems could be modified to support the repair of Microsoft Office files being migrated from Office 97 to Office 2000, XP, and eventually 2003 and 2007 and beyond.

ConverterTechnology and its OfficeConverter suite of tools have since successfully migrated more than one million users from older Office platforms to newer ones. Using OfficeConverter, program managers can collect and organize information to deliver precise and immediately actionable decision support for migration planning.

ConverterTechnology’s customers are typically enterprises and government organizations with more than one thousand employees. Customers include globally and nationally recognized organizations such as General Motors Acceptance Corp., Harley Davidson Corp., Robert Bosch Company, Kohls, U.S. Air Force and Cummins Inc.

ConverterTechnology, Inc is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Powerlan Limited, an Australian-based publicly traded company specializing in IT products and services, business process outsourcing and infrastructure support.
