What a Migration Specialist Should Know

about 

Perfect Law

Perfect Law is a:

Desktop-Based Application


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

Universal Migrator extracts data from Perfect Law via:

Database Connections

Perfect Law uses the following database backend:

Microsoft SQL Server

The following credentials are required:

Admin Perfect Law Credentials


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

Admin Credentials into the Perfect Law Database Server


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

Admin Credentials into the Perfect Law File Server


The Migration Specialist will need the Administrator username and password into the Perfect Law file server in order to extract your documents.

The computer used to migrate from Perfect Law:

Can be located Anywhere


Because data is extracted from the Perfect Law database, the migration can be run from anywhere with access to a backup of the database.
