The present invention provides a system and a method for software conversions which maps and translates data from model reports to files formatted as either Comma Separated Value (CSV) files or Flat Fixed Position files in order to migrate the data from one software systems' service to a similar service of a different software system. Using a report generated from the current system and a translation tool the data is mapped and translated to the receiving systems' conversion format. By developing standard reports and pre-defined translation templates data from one system's application can be converted easily, repeatedly and efficiently.
