# Converting Existing 32-bit FLOW Configurations To 64-bit STATELAKE

## Introduction

**Statelake** is Flow Software’s purpose-built application for business data integration – **integration** is also known as EDI, an acronym meaning **Electronic Data Interchange**, or ETL, meaning **Extract**, **Transform**, **Load**.

**Statelake** can be used by organisations in any industry, and of any size. **Statelake** is particularly relevant to organisations with data management requirements across multiple applications or databases, organisations who have trading partners interested in exchanging data electronically, or where organisations may be seeking to minimise reliance of manual re-keying of data to improve accuracy and productivity.

**Statelake** builds on the successful foundation of 32bit **Flow**.

The **Migration Tool** enables the easy conversion and transfer of 32bit **Flow** configuration files, databases and scripts, into the 64bit **Statelake** format.

## The Migration Tool

For instructions on the use of the **Statelake Migration Tool** wizard, which runs as a stand-alone executable, please refer to the Statelake Migration pages where you will find detailed instructions.

The **Migration Tool** executable file can currently be obtained by contacting Customer Support.

The following diagram illustrates the flexibility and versatility of the **Converter**, and the various ways that you can convert components, databases and files from 32bit **Flow** into a **Statelake** 64bit format.

Please refer to [Statelake Migration](/statelake/maintaining-statelake/migrating-flow-to-statelake/) for more information.
