Quick Migration
(0-2 days but may vary)
Once the migration starts, migrations from this system tend to complete very quickly. During this time, your firm may still look at your legacy system but no data should be added or modified. Migrations taking longer than a few hours often take place during the evening or over weekends.
Firm Decision Maker
A member of your firm should serve as a dedicated point of contact who can make decisions and answer any questions your migration consultant may have. This person should be readily available and is typically the firm administrator or office manager.
Varying Firm Preparation
Your firm will need to commit time answering questions/coordinating with your migration consultant. The amount of time will vary based on the complexity of your firms data, the amount of data there is, and how well-organized/clean the data is.
MSSQL Database Backup
Your migration consultant will need a database backup of this app's database.
Your IT Provider will need to either provide access to the backup or enable your migration consultant to make the backup themself. The backup will be a Microsoft SQL Server database backup in either BAK or BACPAC format.
Migration Workstation
(if migrating documents)
If documents are part of your migration, your migration, your IT provider will need to provision a dedicated Migration Workstation for exclusive use by your migration consultant (it cannot be shared by other staff members). It should be a robust computer with a high-speed connection to the internet and your documents.
File Server Access
(if migrating documents)
If documents are part of your migration, your IT provider will need to enable administrator access to your file server for your migration consultant.
Database Server Access
(if migrating documents)
If documents are part of your migration, your IT provider will need to enable administrator access to your database server for your migration consultant.
Entry-Level Consultant Required
Migrations from this system are suitable for entry level migration consultants.
Low Consultant Preparation
(0-2 days but may vary)
Your migration consultant will generally need a short period of time to prepare for your migration. During this period of time, your firm continues to use your old system as normal.
