Migrate your Fulcrum Snap data
Enterprise legal CRM built on SAP HANA, covering matter management, time tracking, e-billing, and financials for mid-to-large law firms seeking a fully integrated practice-management ecosystem.
In its favor
Why people choose Fulcrum Snap
The signal that keeps Fulcrum Snap on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
SAP-native legal platform — law firms on existing SAP infrastructure choose Fulcrum Snap to avoid data silos between practice management and enterprise financials.
Pre-configured legal workflows — time entry, matter inception, conflicts, and e-billing arrive out-of-box rather than requiring custom build-outs, shortening implementation timelines.
Real-time financials on HANA — the SAP HANA in-memory database delivers live WIP, AR, and billing dashboards that smaller legal CRMs cannot match on raw performance.
End-to-end firm coverage — unlike point-solution legal CRMs, Snap encompasses HCM, CRM, and ERP functions in a single system, eliminating redundant contact and financial records.
Cloud or on-premise deployment — firms can run Snap on SAP Business Technology Platform in the cloud or host it on-premise, matching existing IT governance requirements.
Steep learning curve for non-SAP users — attorneys and staff without SAP experience find the interface less intuitive than consumer-grade legal CRMs, with a 3-6 month ramp reported in user forums.
High total cost of ownership — licensing SAP, HANA infrastructure, and Fulcrum Snap together produces a cost structure that mid-sized firms find difficult to justify against simpler alternatives.
Customization constraints — while Snap is configurable, deep customizations that deviate from SAP's data model require developer-level changes and SAP consultant involvement.
Integration complexity with non-SAP systems — firms using practice-management tools outside the SAP ecosystem report that building integrations is time-consuming and often requires middleware.
Long implementation timelines — despite Fulcrum GT's fixed-scope marketing, firms report that aligning SAP configuration to firm-specific billing rules can extend past the initial project window.

What gets migrated
Fulcrum Snap object support
Object-by-object support for Fulcrum Snap migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Clients
Fully supportedClients are the top-level entity in Fulcrum Snap, holding firm-level details, billing addresses, and master contact associations. We map them 1:1 into destination CRM contacts or account objects, preserving any related matter counts as a custom property.
Matters
Fully supportedMatters are the core legal-workflow object tied to a Client, holding status, practice-area codes, responsible attorneys, and billing arrangements. We migrate Matters as structured records, flagging any open WIP or active billing periods that affect downstream financial reconciliation.
Time Entries
Fully supportedTime Entries are effective-dated, immutable billing records linked to a Matter and an Owner. We preserve the original entry date, duration, billable/non-billable flag, and narrative text, mapping them to time-entry or activity objects in the destination platform.
WIP (Work in Progress)
Mapping requiredWIP represents unbilled time and cost aggregates tied to a Matter. Fulcrum Snap surfaces WIP as a live financial value rather than a discrete record; we extract WIP snapshots at migration time and recreate them as billing entries or credit memos in the destination system.
Billing Records / Invoices
Mapping requiredBilling Records are generated from WIP and time entries and carry invoice numbers, line items, tax codes, and payment status. We map them to invoice or billing objects, noting that SAP's invoice numbering sequence must not conflict with existing numbers in the destination ERP.
Conflicts Checks
Mapping requiredConflicts records track intake-stage conflict checks against Client and Matter entities. They may contain adverse-party names, check dates, and clearance/denial flags. We export these as audit records; any 'denied' conflicts must be resolved before the Matter can be recreated in the destination system.
New Business Intake Records
Mapping requiredIntake records capture the onboarding workflow for a new Client or Matter — questionnaires, approval steps, and engagement-letter status. We map intake forms to the destination's equivalent onboarding or NBI objects and preserve completion state.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredFulcrum Snap supports custom fields on Matters, Clients, and other objects via its configuration layer. We extract the full custom-field schema at migration scoping and map values into destination custom properties, handling type differences (picklist vs. free-text) explicitly.
Attachments
Mapping requiredDocuments attached to Matters or Clients — engagement letters, pleadings, invoices — are stored in SAP content repositories or linked file paths. We export them as binary blobs or URL references and re-attach them to the corresponding destination records.
Users / Attorneys
Mapping requiredUser and Attorney records carry role, billing rate, department, and license-status data. We map them to owner or user objects in the destination, preserving department assignments and any SSO/SCIM identity links from the Elite tier.
Financial Transactions (AP/AR)
Mapping requiredOpen AP and AR records, payment histories, and trust account movements live in the SAP financials layer. We extract these as structured line items and map them to the destination ERP's chart of accounts, preserving payment status and remaining balances.
Materials / Items
Mapping requiredFulcrum Snap maintains a material repository used in e-billing and cost-tracking workflows. We export the material list with SKU, description, and pricing tiers, mapping them to the destination's items or services catalog.
Shipping Methods
Mapping requiredShipping methods are used in e-billing and invoice delivery contexts. We export the active method list and re-create it in the destination, noting that not all destination platforms support invoice-shipping-method logic.
Analytics / Snap Insights Dashboards
Not in this platformSnap Insights dashboards are role-based analytics views built on top of the data model. These are configuration artifacts, not migratable data records — we do not transfer dashboard definitions. We do transfer the underlying data so dashboards can be rebuilt in the destination BI layer.
