VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: When shopping for ANY agency management system or client database, possibly the most important information to gather is as follows: If you wish to some day move to a different vendor; are you going to be able to do so at no additional fee AND will you be able to take your data out of your previous vendor’s product in an industry-standard format (i.e. ASCII, .TXT, .CSV or other comma-delimited format) to make the transfer to your new product cost effective and simple. Unfortunately, there are a few vendors in this marketplace who consider the exporting of YOUR data from their system a “billable service.” They can, in effect, hold your data “hostage” for hundreds or thousandas of dollars in an unethical attempt to not allow you to migrate to another system. GBS, Inc. deems this not only unethical but borderline extortion. If one wishes to move from GBS, Inc. to any other vendor, they are able to export all their data from any GBS, Inc. product in over 60 formats at NO ADDITIONAL FEE. GBS, Inc. asks you to please protect yourself from the possibility of future financial loss and take the steps necessary to guarantee the security of YOUR data.
