Salesforce Data Migration

Best Practices for a Seamless Transition to Salesforce

PARTNER WITH OUR CERTIFIED SALESFORCE CONSULTANTS

Are you leveraging Salesforce data migration software, tools & best practices to ensure your integration success?

Moving is hard work. Moving furniture from one house to another takes due diligence and proper planning to make sure the objects being moved aren’t damaged or lost—not to mention that everything fits well into the new environment.

Moving your business data is just as challenging (if not more so). Your team needs the right tools to succeed. In the end, moving data between orgs (or from no CRM to having one) can be a costly and messy endeavor.

Nearly every enterprise must go through this hectic data migration process at some point in its development. Common challenges that arise during a Salesforce data migration include underestimating a project’s complexity, poor planning and not setting aside enough resources. If not quickly addressed, these problems can lead to slow user adoption at best and major customer relationship issues at worst.

We can help streamline your data transition with our deep knowledge of Salesforce data migration solutions, tools & best practices.

Data migration is hard. We make it easy.

“During a Salesforce deployment, data migration can typically consume as much as 60% of the total labor. When you consider configuration, training, and project management, data migration stands out as one the biggest costs of deployment.”

Do you have a Salesforce Data Migration strategy?

Before you can begin the monumental task of migrating your data from one environment to another, it’s important to plan out the best approach for ensuring a seamless, secure and streamlined transition. For instance, will your migration be done manually or through a metadata API?

Other considerations to keep in mind before your next Salesforce data migration include the following. Remember, these are just a few of the factors that should be considered when initiating a data migration.

User Mapping

Are you ensuring that the record ownership is set up correctly in the new system? Who is going to use the data?

Security

Are existing profiles and Organization-Wide Defaults properly set up in the new environment?

Cleanup

Are there unused or inactive Appexchange applications you can uninstall? Any duplicate data files that can be removed? Which data is relevant going forward?

Space

Is your current Salesforce environment large enough to handle the additional data being migrated into it?

Organization

Are you properly identifying the ordering of insertion of objects (records) into your new Salesforce system? Are naming parameters consistent?

Backup

Have you properly backed up your old data environment before initiating the new Salesforce data migration?

Timeline

What’s your timeline/deadline for the project? Have you provided sufficient time for testing the data migration before you roll it out to users?
