We are buying another existing company.
In short..
They have a server in CPT running PASTEL PARTNER and a website displaying exported data from PASTEL PARTNER.

We have our own Server in JHB running PASTEL EVOLUTION, no Website linked to PASTEL EVOLUTION.

They want us to keep all the same and Invoice on their server.
I on the other hand feel strong about the principle " Far from your assets, close to your damage" - better in afrikaans "ver van jou goed, naby jou skade".

So I want to know if my solution will work:

  1. Do a conversion from their latest backup into our PASTEL EVOLUTION

or
  1. By our own PASTEL PARTNER and again use their latest copy and import the data



Not sure if both Pastel version can run on one server(64 it), but i don't see a problem as it is just another software package ?

Also their excuse that they need to change the link from P PARTNER TO P EVOLUTION will take time. Yes it will, but they are only exporting files to the website and use them.

WEB is worldwide, so why can't we just export the same files from our server to their website.

Or am I totally lost ?
