Using a third party data migration partner
There are many benefits to working with an approved data migration partner.
First and foremost, these partners specialize in Relativity and can consult on customized solutions or in some cases even provide their own applications to accelerate your migration. Second, data migration requires a combination of expertise and availability. While a lot of our customers have technical proficiency and availability, for many, this will be their first large Relativity data migration. Our approved data migration partners bring knowledge and resources that can help accelerate your timeline and provide peace of mind. Finally, because migrations typically occur on nights and weekends, it is optimal for many organizations to rely on a partner for the necessary coverage.
Note: Data Migration Partners are approved to support and understand RelativityOne standard practices for data migration. Each approved data migration partner may implement expanded or enhanced offerings of value for data migrations, including but not limited to customized workflows or applications. For these reasons, approaches and processes may differ with each Approved Data Migration Partner.
