How the Data Migration Process Works

How the Data Migration Process Works

Moving to new software can be a stressful experience for any business. TimeSolv has over 20 years of experience in making sure the transition is smooth and will be there every step of the way helping firms through this process. See details below on how we migrate data for firms and the options available.

Migration Options

TimeSolv offers two types of migration:

1. Historical migration

This involves migrating the following types of data from Timeslips and Tabs3 systems:
  • Clients
  • Matters
  • Contacts
  • Time Entries
  • Expense Entries
  • Finalized Sent Invoices
  • Trust Payments

2. Snapshot

This is done via an import utility using Excel files from any software and is out of the box. We support three data types for snapshot conversions:
  • Clients
  • Matters
  • Contacts
  • Unbilled Time Entries
  • Unbilled Expense Entries
  • AR Accounts

Migration Process

The historical data process is as follows:

  1. We will review your Tabs3/Timeslips conversion application. We will document the findings in a questionnaire.
  2. We will help you review the data in the TimeSolv test environment. This will include a checklist after you schedule a call with your onboarding manager.
  3. If there are any issues noticed, we will try to resolve them until you decide to go live.
  4. If you are happy and satisfied with the data in the testing environment, you will send us a final data backup and within two business days you will be ready to go live.
  5. The onboarding manager will get access to your TimeSolv account that you have subscribed to so that they can move the data into that account. You will get an email to confirm your data has been migrated.
  6. Please schedule a call with your onboarding manager to configure the system according to your needs, e.g. setting up Timekeepers, basic firm-level settings, invoice templates etc.

The duration for historical data process includes three weeks between the first and second call with you onboarding manager, and two business days after the decision to go live.

Snapshot conversions process is as follows:

  1. The first call with your onboarding manager will be to understand your migration needs, such as the type of data you wish to import.
  2. With snapshots we go straight to live by skipping the testing environment as they involve a lot of configurations.

Pricing

Out of the Box:

The above processes are out of the box, and are charged at a fixed price based on the number of Timekeepers.

  • Timeslips or Tabs3 Full or Snapshot Conversion (including other systems) – $350 for 1 user, $125 per additional user.

Clean-up:

If you need extra work, such as sorting through messy data and difficult data format, we will charge you $150 per hour. We will let you know how long we estimate the data clean-up will take, and after you have proofed the clean-up we will proceed further.

Customization:

We charge $150 per hour for additional data migration that is not included in the out of the box migration process.
