iCal ICS Files

This means iCal ICS Files typically runs as desktop software within the firm's office on employee PCs, however, some firms may use an IT provider that hosts iCal ICS Files 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 iCal ICS Files. In this scenario, some people may say that iCal ICS Files runs 'in the cloud', however, it is really just a desktop application running on someone else's equipment.

Because data is extracted from the iCal ICS Files database, the migration can be run from anywhere with access to a backup of the database.

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

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.

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 iCal ICS Files, 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.
