Performance: The Cloud is constantly updating and improving to offer faster network bandwidth and low latency. With the latest technology and short refresh cycles for servers, you can enjoy improved performance and uptime for your business.

Plus, with access to big data, you can gain deeper insights into your company’s security and quickly detect threats.

Faster Deployment and Market Release: Gone are the days of waiting months to deploy new technology. With Cloud computing, you can quickly integrate and test new technologies and deploy code into production environments in no time.

Ease of Scaling: The Cloud’s flexible infrastructure allows you to scale on-demand, so you can adjust your resources without buying bulk servers.

Remote Access and Availability: With Cloud computing, you can access your data anytime, anywhere. Plus, you can hire freelancers from anywhere in the world with remote work.

Collaboration and Productivity: The Cloud can revolutionize your team’s work by enabling real-time collaboration and improving productivity. Instead of focusing on server maintenance, your IT staff can focus on solving business issues and creating new projects that increase customer satisfaction.

Disaster Recovery: In the event of a data breach, the Cloud’s disaster recovery tools can help your business recover quickly and efficiently. With continuous uptime, easy Cloud storage, and fast data restoration, the Cloud can help keep your business running smoothly, even in the face of a disaster.

Your Guide to Migrating Your On-Premises DMS

Migrating your Document Management System (DMS) to the Cloud can be daunting, but with the right solution, it can be seamless and efficient. Litera’s Cloud Migrator is the perfect tool for the job, with a pre-migration check, detailed audit logs, and easy handling of complex migrations.

The Power of Litera’s Cloud Migration Services for Law Firms

Pre-migration Check: Cloud Migrator is equipped with a pre-migration check. This feature allows the tool to detect data problems so organizations can proactively correct them before the migration begins. The pre-migration check saves time and effort since organizations encounter fewer data problems during the migration, and the process is faster

Detailed Audit Logs: Cloud Migrator shows detailed audit logs to track progress and errors if an object fails to upload. This helps organizations understand their data errors and investigate and address them. Cloud Migrator also provides the ability to filter and group errors, as well as export them

Resilient and Flexible for Complex Migrations: When an object fails to upload, you don’t have to restart the migration with Cloud Migrator. Cloud Migrator continues the migration from where it left off, simply logging an error of a failed uploaded object. This feature saves time and allows organizations to tackle data errors and problems while migrating the rest of the documents.

Run Multiple Migrations: Cloud Migrator allows organizations to run multiple migrations simultaneously.

Out-of-the-box SQL Scripts/Queries: Cloud Migrator provides out-of-the-box SQL scripts for common clean-up tasks on the staging database. This includes deleting empty folders, flat space filing, creating missing users, and removing unused groups.

Embrace the future and make the switch to the Cloud today. With its cost-efficiency, improved performance, enhanced security, and easy scalability, the Cloud is the way of the future for law firms.
