Switching Software
We know that the prospect of switching to a new software provider can seem like a mammoth task, but we’d like to reassure you that if you have found the right provider they will support you every step of the way!
Migrating from other providers
When it comes to handling data, we’re seasoned pros! We accept data in many different formats and have experience migrating from many other software providers, too.
All your data
Each data migration is tailored to your needs to ensure that your transition to PPS is a smooth as possible. Before we get the ball rolling, we’ll talk through your requirements and expectations and we’ll arrange an assessment of your current data.
Data assessments are a really important part of the migration process. When we get a sample of your data we can tell you which parts can be translated into PPS and we’ll do our best to leave nothing behind, including accounts and clinical notes! We also do ‘dry runs’ where we’ll give you a sample of the converted data to make sure you are happy with it before moving forward.
We work hard to create conversion routines where possible to keep the costs down for you. This means that if we have migrated data from a software provider before, we may have already created the tools we need to import your data into PPS, and so we spend less time on unpicking the technical stuff, our costs are lower and we can pass that saving onto you.
We price data migrations fairly, any charges that are applicable are simply to cover the costs of our time and resources. The real value in data conversions, from our perspective, is that you have access to all of your important data via PPS.
The Essentials
We want to make it easy for you to access your essential data via PPS, so we have two data import tools readily available in PPS which are both completely free for all PPS users!
Importing clients
You can migrate all of your client details to PPS at the touch of a button. We use a simple spreadsheet format where you can input your data and all of the clever stuff is done behind the scenes, before you know it you’ll have all of your clients registered in PPS and ready to go!

What are the benefits of converting your data to your new software provider?
Easy and accessible
You won’t need to worry about trawling through filing cabinets, gaps in medical history, missing treatment notes or mismatched billing records. All of your client data will be accessible at the touch of a button, in one central location.
GDPR
With the introduction of new GDPR in 2018, how you manage your patient data has never been more important. Electronic data is easier to keep tabs on, especially when it’s all in one place. It’s much easier to fulfil GDPR requests if your data is all in one place.
Marketing database
You’ve spent years building a relationship with your clients through treatments and various communications including marketing. Migrating your data ensures that none of your clients get left behind, allowing you to maintain that rapport and utilise the marketing data you have worked hard to build.
Minimise set-up time
Familiarising yourself with new software is a task in itself. Having access to your data makes the transition process much smoother and leaves you with the time to focus setting up your shiny new software to suit your clinic needs.
