Welcome to Software Service CSS

This procedure should take between 1 to 3 days (which is based on the number of accounts and the number of years in history). The most effective way to shorten your down time will be to start the process on a Thursday or Friday so we can work through the weekend, if necessary.

We will need a copy of your existing Chart of Accounts (General Ledger Codes) printed to a file. This will allow the new program to match your existing program (like: CSS for Dos). If you do not have an existing Chart of Accounts, we can supply you with our standard.

We will need copies of all your printed forms including: Invoices, Statements, Service Tickets and Payables Checks. We also need data on the above items so we can see where the data falls. If possible, please supply the above 1 week prior to the actual conversion as this will speed things along.

If using CSS for Dos, we will pull a copy of your existing data. In the meantime, you will need to keep copies of all transactions that go into your existing program so they can be added once the conversion is complete.

Once the data is pulled, we will run cleaning utilities and export your data to conversion files so your existing data is never touched.

We then import those files into CSS SOS by Briar. Once the import is complete, we check for any obvious problems.

Once we are happy with the results, we send the new program along with the converted data to you, (probably some time on Monday).

After you have the data, we will be able to go through together fixing any bill thru dates for recurring billing and any obvious problems that we didn't catch. We also verify the setups and do some sample printing of Invoices. Finally, we help you enter the data you have been making copies of.
