Universal Migrator has added two new extractors for helping law firms migrate their data from one platform to another, bringing its total number of migration extractors to 114.

It has also enhanced several of its existing extractors with additional backup options.

Universal Migrator is a tool that helps law firms and legal organizations migrate their data when moving from one practice management solution or technology platform to another.

Working primarily with legal tech consultants and migration departments, Universal Migrator facilitates hundreds of data and document migrations every month.

We’re seeing new tools enter the market every year that are tailored to new niche audiences. While a law firm may have used a broader practice management tool five years ago, new tools offer the ability to have a solution custom built for the needs of their specific practice area.

The problem law firms face, as outlined by Bob Ambrogi earlier this year, is that the time and energy required to migrate to a new platform often overshadows the potential value of switching apps. Universal Migrator has addressed this problem by creating connections between 114 legal apps, allowing law firms to migrate their data with minimal effort.

“We make it really easy to pull data out of different systems and then push it into different systems, so projects that traditionally would have taken a human maybe seven or 14 days to do are now like two-hour projects,” says founder Tony Valenti.

Saving up to two weeks of time is an easy value proposition to understand, and one that helped them win the ABA Techshow Startup Alley Pitch Competition in 2023.

About Today’s Announcement

114 Migration Connections

Since their Startup Alley victory, Universal Migrator has been hard at work, adding new migration connections nearly every week. In February, the company boasted 100 connections, and has increased that number to 114 as of today, including the newest two additions of Law Logix and Zoho WorkDrive.

Enhanced Connectors

In addition to it’s ever growing list of compatible apps, Universal Migrator announced today enhancements to more than a dozen existing connectors. These enhancements mean that companies can map and migrate more data seamlessly, with even less manual work.

A major part of the new connection enhancements is a more robust backup system to ensure that no data is lost during the migration. There are more than 50 different data types available for backup, including contacts, matters, notes, tasks, calendar entries, time, expenses, and even documents.

The newest enhanced connectors announced today are for Clinic Cases, CosmoLex, Docketwise, FileVine, Firm Central, Key House, Lawcus, Perfect Law, PracticePanther, Smokeball, TABS3 Practice Master, and TriConvey.
