Convert a file to UMS

To convert other file formats to the "Project Data File" file type, you need software like UMS Viewer or a similar tool.

About UMS files

The .ums file extension typically represents a Universal Mobilisation System project file, developed by SGP IT Solutions. These files often function as a Unify message store, containing organized communication data or project configurations encoded in UTF-16 (LE). Because they are specialized data containers, they are not natively supported by standard web browsers or office software like Microsoft Word. Users often struggle to open them without the specific UMS Viewer or the original Universal Mobilisation System environment, leading to proprietary lock-in and accessibility issues.

In other contexts, a .ums file may be a Unit Manual System file used by Ricoh devices to store parts lists and maintenance data. Gamers might also encounter .ums as a legacy Rune 3D Mesh file from Human Head Studios.

Conversion Best Practices:

For Unify/Project Data: If you need to view the text content, try opening the file in a code editor like Notepad++ to handle the UTF-16 encoding. For reports, export the data to PDF or CSV using the original software.
For Ricoh Manuals: The best archival target is PDF/A, ensuring the parts lists remain readable without the RICOH UMS Editor.
For Rune 3D Meshes: Convert these legacy assets to OBJ or FBX for compatibility with modern tools like Blender or Unreal Engine.

Convert.Guru analyzes your UMS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted PDF, ASPX, PTM, TFT and HED files.
