Metrics are a system of parameters or ways of quantitative and periodic assessment of a process that is to be measured, along with the procedures to carry out such measurement and the procedures for the interpretation of the assessment in the light of previous or comparable assessments. Metrics are usually specialized by the subject area, in which case they are valid only within a certain domain and cannot be directly benchmarked or interpreted outside it.

Conversions between unit systems are a poor way to learn the metric system, and conversion factors (or numbers converted with inappropriate precision) can make the metric system look complicated.

Metric conversion is one of the ways that you can upgrade your self, your work group, your company, or your nation to the modern metric system.
Metric conversion is almost always a method to delay upgrading to the metric system directly, quickly, and cheaply.
This is the heart of where metric conversion most often happens in companies when they decide to give the illusion that they are about to 'Go metric' while all the time they have no intention of doing so.
