The Problem: Preserving a Decade of Salesforce Data
Our client faced a major roadblock to its growth when their previous CRM vendor, Salesforce, enforced a firm deactivation deadline. This hard stop on the calendar threatened to put a decade of critical business records at risk. With more than 30,000 attachments across 4,000 client Accounts, the risks to the company’s operational continuity were significant.
-
Technology Limitations: Off-the-shelf migration tools couldn’t handle the client’s complex data structures and record associations.
-
Risk of Major Data Loss: Early assessments indicated up to 70% of the CRM data which included historical sales information and legal documents could be lost without a proper solution.
-
Business Impact: Without a strategic guide, the business faced losing vital customer information, breaking mission critical processes and undermining future growth.
The Solution: Hands-on Guidance for Complete Peace of Mind
As a HubSpot Elite Partner in the top 1% globally, the Bluleadz team filled the role of trusted partner that helped our client navigate through a complex, time sensitive Salesforce migration.
Drawing on our deep HubSpot expertise and HubSpot CRM Data Migration Accreditation, we helped our client avoid little known risks and ensured each detail critical to project success was accounted for.
The Approach:
- Logic Re-Engineering: We noticed that repeated deal names were causing records to overwrite each other. Our specialists stepped in, carefully updating the migration rules so that every entry stayed accurate and intact.
- Putting Critical Data First: With only 48 hours before the system shut down , we prioritized moving the most important documents, like contracts and completed deals, so business operations could continue without interruption.
