    Tables and Data Migrated

    • Contract Type Table: Contract types from Legal Simple Contracts are copied to Contract Management Pro. Existing contract types in the destination are not duplicated, and changes to the original contract types after migration do not sync automatically.
    • Legal Contract Repository: Legal contract requests in the "Close Complete" state, such as non-disclosure agreements and third-party reviews, are migrated. Key fields including contract request number, state, contract number, type, dates, and owner are mapped with specific logic to handle state conversions based on contract dates.
    • Contract Document and Revision Tables: Contract documents and their revisions are created in Contract Management Pro from Legal Contract data. Document names are formatted based on contract type and company name, with storage details such as external folder URLs and provider information included. Document revisions capture file type, signed contract URLs, versioning, and file attachments.

    Key Migration Details and Data Handling

    • State Mapping: States from the old repository are carefully mapped to new states in Contract Management Pro based on contract start and end dates to accurately reflect contract status.
    • Company and Vendor Fields: Vendor information is populated by matching company names to the Companies table. Recommendations and errors prompt manual review if multiple or no matches are found to maintain data accuracy.
    • Document Naming and Storage: Documents and revisions are systematically named for clarity and traceability. External storage details are maintained for signed contracts and revisions.

    Implications for ServiceNow Customers

    Customers migrating from Legal Simple Contracts to Contract Management Pro can expect an automated utility that transfers essential contract data while applying logical mappings to ensure consistency. Post-migration, manual reviews may be required for vendor assignments and contract type updates. Understanding the state mapping logic and document handling will help customers maintain contract data integrity and continuity in their legal service delivery workflows.

    A migration utility copies data from Legal Simple Contracts tables to Contract Management Pro for Legal Service Delivery tables.
