MIGRATION PLAYBOOK

Switching from Salesforce.

  1. 01

    Evaluate requirements

    Document current Salesforce usage, critical features, integrations, pain points. This drives the must-have list for the replacement.

  2. 02

    Run a proof of concept

    Test the top 2-3 candidates against real-world scenarios. Focus on critical workflows and integration points; ignore feature surface area.

  3. 03

    Plan the migration

    Phased plan: data export / import, user training, parallel running period, rollback procedures. Start with a pilot team.

  4. 04

    Execute and optimize

    Implement, monitor adoption metrics, gather user feedback, optimize configuration. Most migrations take 30-90 days for full adoption.
