In der Welt der technischen Daten und Archivierung spielt die präzise und zuverlässige Konvertierung von Dateiformaten eine entscheidende Rolle. Gerade in Ingenieurbüros, bei Fertigungsbetrieben oder im öffentlichen Sektor, wo oft historisch gewachsene Systeme und moderne Anwendungen parallel existieren, stellt die Umwandlung von RA-Dateien in das VMS-Format eine häufige Anforderung dar. Unser Service wurde speziell dafür entwickelt, diesen Übergang nahtlos und sicher zu gestalten. Wir wissen um die Sensibilität Ihrer Daten und die Notwendigkeit, Compliance-Vorgaben, wie die DSGVO, stets einzuhalten. Verlassen Sie sich auf eine Lösung, die nicht nur technisch einwandfrei funktioniert, sondern auch die spezifischen Anforderungen des DACH-Raums an Datensicherheit und -integrität berücksichtigt. So bleiben Ihre wichtigen Informationen stets zugänglich und verwendbar, ohne Kompromisse bei der Qualität oder Sicherheit eingehen zu müssen.

  • Archivierung alter CAD-Modelle
  • Kompatibilität mit Behördensystemen
  • Datenmigration in neue DMS

Die Umstellung von proprietären Altsystemen auf modernere, aber dennoch spezifische Formate wie VMS ist im DACH-Raum aufgrund langer Produktlebenszyklen in der Industrie besonders relevant. Viele Unternehmen pflegen noch Daten in Formaten, die vor Jahrzehnten etabliert wurden.

    Choose .vms

    Set VMS as the output format. The converter uses optimal settings based on the RA→VMS conversion profile.

  3. 3

    Convert

    The server-side engine decodes your RA file and re-encodes it as VMS. Processing time depends on file size and complexity.

  4. 4

    Download result

    Grab your converted .vms file. Multiple output files can be downloaded together.
