FAQs

How long does a typical data migration take?

The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your data, the source system(s), and the level of data cleaning required. Small migrations can take days, while complex ones may take several weeks.

What happens to duplicates and inconsistent data?

Data cleaning is an integral part of the migration process. We identify duplicates and inconsistent records to merge, fix, or remove them, improving overall data quality.

Will all data from the old system be migrated?

Typically, we migrate essential data like contacts, companies, deals, tickets, custom objects and activities. However, during the discovery process, we will confirm what data you would like excluded based on your preferences.

How are data relationships handled during migration?

We carefully preserve all existing associations between records - like contacts, companies, and deals, while also identifying opportunities to add new associations where relevant. This ensures your data is fully connected in HubSpot and even enhanced beyond what was in the original system.

Can we customise fields and objects during the migration?

Yes! We map custom properties and objects from your source system to equivalent structures in HubSpot to maintain the data tailored to your business needs. During the design phase, you’ll have the opportunity to review, select, and rename fields before they’re created in HubSpot - allowing you to customise the data structure and ensure only relevant, clean data is imported.

How do you ensure data accuracy during migration?

We perform data audits, mapping, and validation at multiple stages - before, during, and after migration to ensure the data in HubSpot matches the source system precisely.

What happens if errors occur during migration?

We perform a full data import well before the cutover day, which helps us identify and resolve errors early. This approach reduces the amount of data left to import on cutover day and gives us time to make any necessary adjustments before going live.

How do we prepare our team for the new system post-migration?

We recommend you do thorough training sessions, documentation, and change management support to help users adapt quickly and maximise adoption.

Will there be any downtime or disruption during the migration?

We strive to minimise disruption by scheduling migrations during low-usage periods and conducting thorough quality checks throughout the process. For larger migrations, please allow up to two days to complete comprehensive testing and validation before the final cutover.

How does a data migration impact ongoing integrations and workflows?

We assess existing integrations and workflows beforehand to plan for any adjustments or reconfigurations needed to work seamlessly with the migrated data in HubSpot. During imports, we may temporarily disable workflows to prevent unintended actions and ensure the migration proceeds smoothly without disrupting your operations.
