What a Migration Specialist Should Know
about
CenterBase
CenterBase is a:
Browser-Based Application
This means that firm members can typically access CenterBase from anywhere with an internet connection. When they need to use CenterBase, they enter CenterBase credentials into a CenterBase website and are able to access all their data from there.
Universal Migrator extracts data from CenterBase via:
Non-API Connections
Other Notes:
Document Name Humanization
In CenterBase'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 CenterBase.
The following credentials are required:
Admin CenterBase Credentials (Dedicated)

This account must be fully dedicated to the Migration Consultant for the duration of the migration. If anyone else logs into this account, it will interrupt the migration.
