eCaliper extracted the cost databases from the old system and converted them to the new eCaliper format.
		The entire conversion was accomplished in less than eight (8) hours, saving the eCaliper user an estimated 100 hours of data entry and validation.
		Quick conversion process meant no "downtime" for this contractor's fast-moving business schedule.

Electronically Import Data from Microsoft® Excel® - Several contractors have moved up to eCaliper after outgrowing their limited in-house, spreadsheet-based estimating process.

In each case, we were able to quickly extract the user's cost database from their Excel® spreadsheets and load the cost items into eCaliper.

We've Used Other Data Available to Contractors - A contractor with a paper-based estimating system had a large library of printed cost items. The data entry clerk wanted to enter the list of cost items into an Excel® spreadsheet.

		We designed a spreadsheet for the clerk's data entry.
		The data was imported directly into eCaliper.
		The contractor and data entry staff saved countless hours of wasteful, error-prone double entry.
