Outsourcing Solutions

Let Astra Infotech Be Your Complete File Conversion Solution.............

What We Offer


One of the first hurdles facing any major content or document management implementation is what to do with legacy documents. Chances are, many or most of those documents reside in Microsoft Word format. This is particularly the case for Scientific, Technical, and Medical publishing, where you find complicated, but highly structured, information along with tantalizingly attractive re-use opportunities. But it is also true for everyday corporate documents as well. Astra Infotech can assist you by converting your documents to a more open format such as XML, SGML, and/or HTML . We have the expertise necessary to accomplish large volumes of documents easily.

Conversion To XML, SGML, & HTML


Some of the benefits of using XML as your document format basis are:

  • Simplicity
    Information coded in XML is easy to read and understand, plus it can be processed easily by computers.
  • Openness
    XML is a W3C standard, endorsed by software industry market leaders.
  • Extensibility
    There is no fixed set of tags. New tags can be created as they are needed.
  • Self-description
    In traditional databases, data records require schemas set up by the database administrator. XML documents can be stored without such definitions, because they contain meta data in the form of tags and attributes.

    XML Provides a basis for author identification and versioning at the element level. Any XML tag can possess an unlimited number of attributes such as author or version.
  • Contains machine-readable context information
    Tags, attributes and element structure provide context information that can be used to interpret the meaning of content, opening up new possibilities for highly efficient search engines, intelligent data mining, agents, etc.
  • Separates content from presentation
  • Supports multilingual documents and Unicode
    This is important for the internationalization of applications.
  • Facilitates the comparison and aggregation of data
    The tree structure of XML documents allows documents to be compared and aggregated efficiently element by element.
  • Can embed multiple data types
    XML documents can contain any possible data type - from multimedia data (image, sound, video) to active components (Java applets, ActiveX).
  • Can embed existing data
    Mapping existing data structures like file systems or relational databases to XML is simple. XML supports multiple data formats and can cover all existing data structures and .
