Migrating your Documents

The successful migration of your historical documents into FYI is a fundamental part of onboarding.

Wherever possible, your documents will be migrated across to FYI with relevant metadata, although our ability to do this depends on exact circumstances.

In addition to your Client files, other documents that could be migrated across to FYI include knowledge documents such as company policies, procedures, and templates, etc.

To date, practices have successfully migrated data into FYI from the following platforms: 

• MYOB DM
• SuiteFIles
• SharePoint
• HowNow
• Nimbus
• Windows Explorer
• Virtual Cabinet
• HandiSoft
• DropBox 
• Google Drive
  

Choosing a migration strategy for your practice

The approach we recommend for your migration will vary depending on your legacy system:

• Practices with a simple filing structure and no custom requirements may prefer to self-manage the migration of your data into FYI, with minimal assistance from the FYI Client Success team.
• Alternatively, the FYI Client Success team can work with your practice (or your IT provider) to get secure, remote access and co-ordinate the migration of your data to align with an agreed go live date for FYI.  Our aim is to deliver a clean transition to FYI with your team having access to their work-in-progress documents from day 1.

Please Book a Discovery Meeting to discuss the best approach for your practice and pricing options for our assisted onboarding services.
