What a Migration Specialist Should Know
about
Elite
Elite is a:
Desktop-Based Application
This means Elite typically runs as desktop software within the firm's office on employee PCs, however, some firms may use an IT provider that hosts Elite 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 Elite. In this scenario, some people may say that Elite runs 'in the cloud', however, it is really just a desktop application running on someone else's equipment.
Elite is a:
General Practice Management System
General practice management systems store a wide variety of data instrumental to running many kinds of law firms.
Universal Migrator extracts data from Elite via:
Database Connections
Elite uses the following database backend:
Microsoft SQL Server
Other Notes:
Contact Name Assist
In Elite, some contacts only have a "Full Name" field and nothing absolutely identifies it as being a person or a company. Universal Migrator will attempt to determine whether a name looks like a person's name or a company name. The Migration Specialist and the Firm Administrator should review this and make any tweaks if necessary.
The following credentials are required:
Admin Elite Credentials
The Migration Specialist will need an Administrator username and password into Elite in order to extract your data.
Admin Credentials into the Elite Database Server
The Migration Specialist will need the Administrator username and password into the Elite database server in order to extract your data.
This should be the Administrator account and not another account that has administrative access.
The computer used to migrate from Elite:
Can be located Anywhere
Because data is extracted from the Elite database, the migration can be run from anywhere with access to a backup of the database.
In order to migrate from Elite:
The Firm Administrator must complete a User Mapping spreadsheet.
A member of the firm will need to complete a small spreadsheet mapping users from Elite to users in the new system.
The following people are required for a migration from Elite:
Migration Specialist
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.
Firm Administrator
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.
Firm IT Administrator
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.
