✓Fixed scope – no surprise timeline or budget overruns.
✓No pressure: stay on vendor support while you migrate.
✓40–70% savings on legacy platform renewals.
✓Post-migration RStudio/Posit managed services included.

SPSS Syntax Macros

Proprietary SPSS syntax macros with deeply nested logic – no off-the-shelf converter exists.

Embedded .sav Metadata

Complex variable/value labels and hierarchical metadata locked inside .sav files.

Custom Dialogs

Custom SPSS dialog boxes built for your team – must be recreated in R.

IBM SPSS Statistics → R (Statistical Computing) migration — your questions answered

Can you migrate my SPSS custom dialogs?+

Yes – our engineers convert SPSS custom dialogs into equivalent R functions, preserving functionality and user experience.

What happens to my .sav file metadata?+

We extract and replicate all variable/value labels, hierarchies, and metadata from .sav files into R data frames with tidyverse conventions.

What if my SPSS renewal is coming up before the migration finishes?+

While your vendor contract is active, you keep full SPSS vendor support. If the renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on the legacy platform – it is not vendor support and does not include vendor patches.

How long does a migration take?+

Typical projects run 2–5 months with 2–4 senior engineers. Budget ranges $60,000–$350,000 depending on complexity.
