Seamless Transition with No Disruption

data-migration

Our step-by-step migration approach, from extraction to final import and approval, ensures you move from your legacy CRM into HubSpot without interruptions to daily operations.

Confidence in Data Accuracy

We don’t just move data; we validate it. With sample QA dashboards, cleansing of up to 150 properties, and duplicate checks across key fields, you can trust the information your team sees on day one.

Tailored to Complex Businesses

For enterprise-scale migrations, we build custom objects and properties to reflect your unique processes. HubSpot isn’t just populated, it’s shaped around your business structure.

Custom-Fit for Your Business

Migration includes custom objects and properties, aligning the CRM to your exact processes and structure.

Keep Historical Value Intact

By migrating up to 500,000 records and preserving associations across up to 10 objects, we ensure your reporting history, trends, and customer insights remain intact post-cutover.

Controlled, Phased Migration

With initial and delta/final imports, you have the chance to review and approve before go-live. That means no surprises and full visibility over what’s coming into HubSpot.

A Cleaner, More Usable CRM

Streamlined properties and deduplicated records mean your team isn’t weighed down by clutter. Instead, they get a CRM that’s easy to use and ready to support productivity from day one.

Focused on the Essentials

We prioritise the key engagement type and records that matter most, ensuring your marketing and sales teams have what they need from day one.

Faster Turnaround

With capped data volumes and streamlined processes, your migration is designed to be completed faster, helping you start using HubSpot sooner.

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.

What is a delta in the migration process?

A delta refers to the changes in data (new or updated records) that have occurred in the source system since the last migration or sync. 

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.

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.

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.
