exponentially. And legacy platforms can’t handle the weight.
With legacy ediscovery systems lagging behind, or being abandoned altogether, transitioning to a cloud-native ediscovery platform can significantly enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize risks.
Not all modern ediscovery solutions are built alike, however. Finding the right platform means choosing technology that evolves with your needs, not against them. And it means embracing tools that were built for the cloud from day one – not grafted on long after cloud-based ediscovery was an inevitability.
Everlaw is the tool of choice for those ready to move beyond the status quo, offering advanced capabilities with an intuitive experience that legal professionals actually enjoy using.
Everlaw’s rapid innovation and close partnership with customers make transitioning from legacy platforms easier than ever before.
What Is Data Migration?
Data migration is the method of moving data from one location, format, or application to another. This typically involves data profiling, cleansing, validation, and an ongoing quality-assurance process. Organizations also initiate data transfers when they move from an on-premise infrastructure to cloud-based storage.
It’s important to differentiate data migration from data conversion and data integration:
- Data conversion changes data formats to accommodate new systems, essential when moving data from legacy applications.
- Data integration combines data from various sources into a unified view, crucial for analytics.
When migrating from one discovery platform to another, any or all three of the above may be necessary, depending on your approach.
