What a Migration Specialist Should Know
about
Box
Box runs as a:
Hybrid Application
This means Box typically runs as a desktop app on employees' PCs that store data in cloud-based databases and APIs that are run by Box.
Box is used as a:
Document Storage System
Document storage systems are primarily concerned with storing documents and organizing them in a folder hierarchy. While profile attributes may sometimes be possible, this is not often how the system is used.
Universal Migrator extracts data from Box via:
API Connections
The following credentials are required:
Admin Box Credentials
The Migration Specialist will need an Administrator username and password into Box in order to extract your data.
Admin Credentials into the Box File Server
The Migration Specialist will need the Administrator username and password into the Box file server in order to extract your documents.
This should be the Administrator account and not another account that has administrative access.
The computer used to migrate from Box:
Can be located Anywhere
Because data is extracted from Box via the internet, the migration can be run from any suitable location.
In order to migrate from Box:
The Firm Administrator must tag Matter folders that should be transferred.
A member of the firm will need to tag matter folders so they can be properly identified and migrated to the new system.
The following people are required for a migration from Box:
Migration Specialist

Special warnings about Box
Plan Your Migration Timeline Correctly
With certain vendors, submitting a Notice of Termination/Non-Renewal can prompt a shift in cooperation: some will restrict or revoke export and backup capabilities, or limit the volume of data you're able to download, making migration more difficult.
To guard against this, best practice with any vendor, including Box, is to withhold notice until you've been fully live on your new system for at least 30 days. In practice, this means your migration should be complete approximately 45 days before your notice deadline.
Contacts in Box are Full-Name-Only
In Box, some contacts have only a "Full Name" field, with nothing that definitively identifies the entry as a person or a company. Universal Migrator will attempt to determine whether each name resembles a person's name or a company name. The Migration Specialist and Firm Administrator should review these results and make adjustments as needed.
