Unextractable Data?

by villaume . Updated 25 years, 9 months ago

Is it possible that data cannot be extracted from a system to move it to a new system? I am not a programmer, but it seems to me no matter how out-of-date or abused the system you have, you should be able to tell it to extract simple text files. My wife works for a company, let’s just say an extremely large chemical distribution company, and she had to reenter tons of info, killing tons of her time in their migration to a new system. That just doesn’t seem right. Any answers?
