Quick Migration
(0-2 days but may vary)
Once the migration starts, migrations from this system tend to complete very quickly. During this time, your firm may still look at your legacy system but no data should be added or modified. Migrations taking longer than a few hours often take place during the evening or over weekends.
Firm Decision Maker
A member of your firm should serve as a dedicated point of contact who can make decisions and answer any questions your migration consultant may have. This person should be readily available and is typically the firm administrator or office manager.
Firm Homework
A member of your firm will likely be assigned a few tasks that will be necessary for an optimal migration experience.
Varying Firm Preparation
Your firm will need to commit time answering questions/coordinating with your migration consultant. The amount of time will vary based on the complexity of your firms data, the amount of data there is, and how well-organized/clean the data is.
MSSQL Database Backup
Your migration consultant will need a database backup of this app's database.
Your IT Provider will need to either provide access to the backup or enable your migration consultant to make the backup themself. The backup will be a Microsoft SQL Server database backup in either BAK or BACPAC format.
Senior Consultant Required
Migrations from this system should only be performed by senior migration consultants.
High Consultant Preparation
(7+ days but may vary)
Your migration consultant may need a longer period of time to prepare for your migration. During this period of time, your firm continues to use your old system as normal.
Cleanup: Custom Fields
Firms migrating from this system typically have hundreds of unused custom fields.
Your consultant will need to work with you to trim out unnecessary and junk custom fields that are not used.
Starting at $2500 + Consultant Fees
Migrations from this system typically include a $2500 license fee for Universal Migrator in addition to any fees your migration consultant may charge. Depending on the system you are migrating into, this charge may be partially or fully subsidized for you.
