Company History
Data Conversion Laboratory,
Inc. (DCL) is one of the world's leading providers of
data conversion services. It currently operates one of the most advanced
facilities of its kind, with extensive capabilities to capture data and text
from virtually any computer medium and format... as well as from paper and
microfilm... and to reformat it to fit a client's new needs.
Having founded the business in 1981, the principals soon realized that data
conversion was a major concern of their clients. And in 1984, the company began
to specialize in data conversion applications.
Interoperability
Originally data conversion was
primarily a matter of moving text and database files from one medium to another,
one hardware platform to another, one operating system environment to another.
But as text and database representations became more sophisticated it became
apparent that application interoperability was going to be the overriding issue
of concern. Consequently, DCL's focus shifted to the more complex issues involved in moving
data from one application to another without losing content, appearance, or
structural information along the way.
Ground-breaking
DCL was in the forefront of industry efforts to develop data representation
standards, and was heavily involved with SGML from its inception. DCL is now
regarded as the premier facility for complex XML and SGML conversions, and its
ground-breaking conversion technology, developed and refined over the past 12
years, has received extensive critical acclaim.
This technology, coupled with
DCL's rigorous data analysis and project management techniques, enable the
company to successfully complete projects that others deem impossible.
Cost
effective strategies
The company now employs close
to 50 individuals in a state-of-the-art
facility located 20 minutes outside Manhattan, and in close proximity to New
York City's major airports. DCL also maintains strategic relationships with
several offshore data entry facilities, which enables the company to
cost-effectively offer a full range of services to its clients.
The company culture, while intense and exciting, is relaxed and friendly.
DCL's team approach means that everyone pitches in where needed. All employees
sharing a general dedication to doing whatever it takes to maintain the
company's high standards and satisfy its clients.
