Conversion Question

Hello,
I am currently working with a local government agency in finding a replacement case management system. They are currently using Ektron, which is reaching it’s end of life in July, so my question is does WordPress support data conversion from another CMS?
WP.com: Yes

Hi there,
1.)
“case management system”
Is this a typo or a different type of software?
Shouldn’t it be “content management system”?2.)
“does WordPress support data conversion from another CMS?”
WordPress.COM : the site manage and hosts WordPress software on behave of users
WordPress.ORG : the open source software that allows people to self-host WordPress on their own serverOn WordPress.COM , the site supports importing data from pre-defined platforms
Import -> Import from Another Platform

It seems in your case, you require importing from customized data, which may rule out WordPress.COM as the host of your new site.Choosing to ask your question on WordPress.ORG forums could be better.
https://wordpress.org/support/forums/You can learn more about the differences between .COM vs .ORG here:
https://wordpress.com/com-vs-org/As another suggestion, not sure if this is useful to you, you may look at WordPress.ORG plug-ins directory and look for CRM:
