This means M-Files typically runs as a desktop app on employees' PCs that store data in cloud-based databases and APIs that are run by M-Files.

In M-Files, just about every field is a custom field. Because of this, firms coming from M-Files tend to have an excessive number of custom fields that need to be unified, pruned, or stantardized.

In M-Files'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 M-Files.

The Migration Specialist will need an Administrator username and password into M-Files in order to extract your data.

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

A member of the firm will need to complete a small spreadsheet mapping users from M-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.

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.
