This means that firm members can typically access Filevine from anywhere with an internet connection. When they need to use Filevine, they enter Filevine credentials into a Filevine website and are able to access all their data from there.

In Filevine'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 Filevine.

​

The Migration Specialist will need an Administrator username and password into Filevine in order to extract data.
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.

​

​

Because data is extracted from Filevine via the internet, the migration can be run from any suitable location.

​

​

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.

​

​

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

Firms migrating from Filevine tend to have tons of unused custom fields. For an optimal migration experience, a member of the firm should identify any unnecessary fields that can be pruned as part of this migration.
