FortiConverter Service helps you migrate to the latest version of FortiOS. This service is useful for migrating a pre-existing third-party firewall policy to a new FortiGate appliance, or even an older FortiGate policy to a new one.
FortiConverter Service supports migration of interface NAT, firewall policy and address objects, as well as static routes for third-party vendor configuration to FortiGate configuration.
Managing migration
A one-time service add-on for FortiGate appliances, FortiConverter Service makes the transition process more reliable and predictable, reducing human errors that occur in manual processes, along with timelines and costs. Simply upload the source configuration file to Fortinet, then receive your new, migrated FortiOS configuration file, with accompanying report for documentation and auditing, that you upload to your FortiGate. Whether upgrading from a third-party firewall to the latest next-generation FortiGate, or trading in your well-used FortiGate for the latest model, Fortinet believes transitioning to next-generation security platforms should be as simple as possible.

Many organizations and consulting services companies use FortiConverter Service for their migration projects, but you may choose to engage Fortinet Professional Services to provide customized consulting service for your migration.
