Rails - Issues Thus Far

When converting something like Dr Dispatch from a desktop C/S Win32 application to a web application accessed via a browser a few questions have come up.

1) Reporting?  I think I’ve found the closet thing to answer with Ruports

2) Migration? - What’s the easiest method to import desktop application data into the new rails app?  Am I looking at dumping to CSV and importing?  Seems like I read somewhere I can load csv files into active record?

3) What’s the BEST way to get the Windows app talking with a rails app (for another project semi-related to the port)?  Something like SOAP?

Ideas?
