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

In Practice Evolve'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 Practice Evolve.

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

Because Practice Evolve is a desktop-based application, if documents are being transferred, the computer used for the migration should be near the same device that stores the documents.

​

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.

A member of the firm will need to complete a small spreadsheet mapping users from Practice Evolve to users in the new system.
