What a Migration Specialist Should Know
about
PIKA
PIKA is a:
Browser-Based Application

Universal Migrator extracts data from PIKA via:
Database Connections
PIKA uses the following database backend:
MySql
Other Notes:
Document Name Humanization
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.

Admin PIKA Credentials
