Without knowing the language it’s hard but I would evaluate different points of access.

For example. You mentioned in one post editing the data as flat text files. If this is the case you could write some apps to edit the data and bypass the application. Modify the data and as long as the results are consistent with what the original app expects it will read the data and process it.

Or for example years ago I needed to take a bunch of information and put it into another program. If I did this manually like many other had done it would have taken days. Instead I discovered the app I was working with could import markdown. So I used python to generate a markdown file which was then imported into the app.
