The answer really depends on a lot of things. But I have found using a company like Kleinschmidt is the quickest and many times the cheapest solution. If your company can accept a flat file for the 940 and produce a flat file for the 945 with the required data and transmit that flat file, Kleinschmidt can build a (in this case two) translators that would take the flat file and put it into the required format of their customer. They can handle any type of communication, from simple dial-in, dial-out to AS1 and AS2, MQ, etc.
From the time the you get the file to them with the specifications for the customer, they will have the formatter completed in two weeks or less. Price is reasonable.
I have had a number of clients start this way and after considering the cost of software and mapping/communication personnel, have remained this way.
You can find information about them at www.kleinschmidt.com.
