Is it consider a copyright infringement by both company A and company B? Are the employees in violation, too?

Company A: copyrighted, licensed application files purchased from company C are installed on company A's computer. Company A purchased a software application from company B and wants company B to convert the data from the application purchased from company C to the new software purchased from company B.

Company B: copies the copyrighted, licensed application files from company A's computer to the computer owned by company B. Company B extracts the data in those files and converts it into the application that it developed for company A - Is this your question? Add additional information

Your question is not clear, but lets assume the data you refer to is what the copyrighted (c) application generates. That data per se is not (c) so it can be extracted, copied and otherwise massaged by its righful owner.

How that data is extracted by company B is a different matter. Copying a (c) application is illegal.

Should company B remove the (c) application from computer A, install it in computer B, the extract the data, then remove the (c) application from computer B and install it in computer A, then not rights or licenses are apparently infringed, so long as the wrap license does not provide otherwise.
