As someone who had to do this for a couple of clients, I can definitely say stay away from the conversion tools... they do not work!

If this software is critical to the company's business, I think you will have no option but to rewrite. Just hope that the current version works as is while you do that.

One thing I tried doing was to keep the UI same (or as similar as possible) so that users do not have to be re-trained a lot.
