What a Migration Specialist Should Know
about
NetDocuments
NetDocuments is a:
Browser-Based Application
This means that firm members can typically access NetDocuments from anywhere with an internet connection. When they need to use NetDocuments, they enter NetDocuments credentials into a NetDocuments website and are able to access all their data from there.
NetDocuments is a:
Document Management System
Document management systems are primarily concerned with storing documents and the metadata/attributes that are associated with them. They tend to organize documents based on attributes rather than a strict folder hierarchy.
Universal Migrator extracts data from NetDocuments via:
API Connections
Other Notes:
Contact Name Assist
In NetDocuments, 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.
Document Name Humanization
In NetDocuments'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 NetDocuments.
The following credentials are required:
Admin NetDocuments Credentials
The Migration Specialist will need an Administrator username and password into NetDocuments in order to extract your data.
The computer used to migrate from NetDocuments:
Can be located Anywhere
Because data is extracted from NetDocuments via the internet, the migration can be run from any suitable location.
In order to migrate from NetDocuments:
The Firm Administrator must complete a User Mapping spreadsheet.
A member of the firm will need to complete a small spreadsheet mapping users from NetDocuments to users in the new system.
The following people are required for a migration from NetDocuments:
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.
