Amicus Accounting

This means Amicus Accounting typically runs as desktop software within the firm's office on employee PCs, however, some firms may use an IT provider that hosts Amicus Accounting on a remote server in a remote datacenter. In this scenario, firm members may RDP, TeamViewer, RemoteApp, or Screen Connect to a remote PC where they access Amicus Accounting. In this scenario, some people may say that Amicus Accounting runs 'in the cloud', however, it is really just a desktop application running on someone else's equipment.

Financial management systems are optimized around billing, invoicing, and accounting.

In Amicus Accounting's backend, documents often have illegible file names like "1357219.pdf". Universal Migrator will automatically humanize these names to familiar ones, like "Motion for Private Process.pdf", ensuring firm members see the same human-readable names post-migration as they do when viewing documents directly through Amicus Accounting.

The Migration Specialist will need the Administrator username and password into the Amicus Accounting database server in order to extract your data.
This should be the Administrator account and not another account that has administrative access.

A member of the firm will need to complete a small spreadsheet mapping users from Amicus Accounting to users in the new system.

The Migration Specialist is the person who will be performing this migration. They may be a member of Universal Migrator's own Internal Migration Team or any IT professional who has completed the Universal Consultant training program.

The Firm Administrator is a member of the law firm who can serve as a dedicated point of contact, make decisions, and answer any questions the Migration Consultant may have. This person should be readily available and is typically the managing partner or office manager of the firm.

The Firm IT Administrator is the person responsible for setting up and managing the firm's IT equipment. Sometimes this is an employee of the firm but usually this is an employee of a third-party IT services provider.
