PIKA

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

General practice management systems store a wide variety of data instrumental to running many kinds of law firms.

​

In PIKA'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 PIKA.

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

The Migration Specialist will need the Administrator username and password into the PIKA database server in order to extract your data.
This should be the Administrator account and not another account that has administrative access.

Because data is extracted from the PIKA 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 PIKA 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.

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.
