Your FileCabinet CS data doesn't have to be stuck with Thomson Reuters
Thomson Reuters is sunsetting FileCabinet CS in 2027. We extract every client document, verify, and deliver to your new software home with the first 3 months free.
No hourly billing. No staff hours. You choose where you go.
The software is going away. Thomson Reuters wants you to stay.
Most firms discover the real problem after they've already picked a new platform.
FileCabinet CS was never built to let data out in bulk. Thomson Reuters makes data migration intentionally difficult to try and get you to stay in their ecosystem. Exporting drawers one at a time is the only supported path.
Even if you decide “you know what, I like doing mundane tasks for hours on end”, drawer exports lose their folder structure which must be recreated. On top of that, Filecabinet can have loud and silent export errors. “Did everything come across from that drawer? I’m not really sure”. All of that just to get data back into a native file format so that you can then send it somewhere else (more work).
On a firm with hundreds of drawers, that's not a weekend project, it's months of somebody's time, done by hand, during a year you're already trying to change platforms.
