1.4 Importing Data from Your Feeder System
AccountImport receives data from an import program, which your onsite MIS personnel can develop for you; or you may wish to use a OFSLL Consultant. Your import program must convert data from your feeder system into a standard data format that AccountImport can read. AccountImport can then convert your import data into OFSLL Accounts.
