Catholic school moving old library into Handy system.

I have some questions regarding your system as we are considering moving our old current Library program into your software. We have the old Winnebago Spectrum Library software and barcode system.
Is our Library able to be converted over to your Handy Library system?
Will our current barcodes still be effective with your system?
Will our scanner from Winnebago also work with Handy Library?
I see the costs on your website:
$350 for the software (1-time fee)
$200 for the Network license so we can have multiple searches happening at once.
$ 59.95 year support
Does this include assistance with the initial transfer over? How does the transfer over happen?
Would we still need to purchase Marc records individually from Marcive (as I currently need to do for our old Winnebago program?) How does it work with your company to input new books into the system? Do we order them from you? Do we print them ourselves? Do we purchase them through Marcive at $0.27 per Marc record, as I do now, and upload them into the library system in order to generate barcodes?

Library systems usually offer export feature. Please review how you can export your data from the Winnebago Spectrum to a text formatted, spreadsheet, or MARC file. You can send this file to us (attachment) and we will try to review and process the transfer. Data transfer is a free service provided by us.
Your barcodes will be used. Your scanner should be supported; our system does not have special requirements for the scanner, our system support all 1-D scanners. To be 100% sure we will need the image of the bar code label from a book and the value of the bar code in your current system (or sample data).
Yes the price includes the data transfer, we will need the marc, text formatted, or spread sheet file. Usually we need 1-2 business days to process the transfer.
Marcive is an independent system that offers good formatted data for a fee. I would suggest to review our auto-cataloging by ISBN feature and check the quality of data. Users of our software use our free auto-cataloging feature, use web search and then use copy/paste feature, or they enter data manually.
Our auto-cataloging feature finds a book information on the web based on the ISBN number. It checks the following web sites: Library of Congress (best quality), World Cat, GoogleBooks, Amazon, and OpenLib. If you replay with 2-3 ISBN numbers I can reply with data samples from the above sites.
Our system creates a new barcode number automatically (if not entered by library administrator). Then you can easily print new barcode labels or spine labels. We offer many library help topics that explain how to do that.
