Transitioning from one legal practice management software to another can be a significant endeavor. To ensure this process is as smooth as possible, we offer a streamlined data migration service, allowing you to continue your work with minimal disruption.
In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to export data from Amicus so you can go ahead and export the data on your own.
Exporting Data from Amicus Cloud
Amicus Cloud does not offer native exporting capabilities, but retrieving your data for migration or other purposes is a straightforward process. Here's how you can do it:
Get in touch with Amicus Support and request a database export in either BACPAC or BAK format.
You have to email the support team at cloudsupport@abacusnext.com with the registered Amicus Cloud email ID and ask for the full backup.
The support team will provide the backup details in the next 24-48 hours. Please share the backup files/links with us.
Once you receive the database export file from Amicus, pass it on to our migration team. We'll handle all the intricate details involved in importing your data seamlessly into Lawcus.
