-Existing clients have the option of converting their original PRAMS Plus well and production data into the new PRAMSX2 system using a standard conversion process.

 In order to make sure that the conversion process runs successfully during the installation we recommend that a copy of your existing database be provided in advance of the installation so that it can be tested by development staff. This will allow us to make any accommodations to the conversion that may be necessary due to non-standard or custom data in the original database tables.
