Salesforce Data Migration — Full Service Scope

Every stage of the data migration lifecycle covered — from source system audit and data quality assessment through ETL pipeline build, test migration, production go-live, and post-migration validation.

Data Audit & Quality Assessment

We extract a sample dataset from your source system and audit it for completeness, consistency, duplicates, format issues, and data quality problems — producing a Data Quality Report before any migration work begins, so you know exactly what you are moving.

  • Source system data profiling
  • Completeness and consistency scoring
  • Duplicate and conflict identification
  • Data quality report with remediation plan

Field Mapping & Transformation Design

We produce a field-level mapping document covering every source field, its Salesforce target, the transformation rule applied (format conversion, picklist mapping, default value, null handling), and any fields that require enrichment or consolidation before loading.

  • Source-to-target field mapping
  • Data type conversion and format rules
  • Picklist value mapping and standardisation
  • Null, default, and fallback value logic

Data Cleansing & Deduplication

Before loading any data, we run automated cleansing and deduplication against your source extract — standardising formats, correcting common errors, merging duplicates, and removing junk records — so you do not import years of data quality problems into your new Salesforce org.

  • Format standardisation (phone, address, date)
  • Email validation and domain correction
  • Fuzzy-match deduplication and merge
  • Junk, test, and inactive record removal

ETL Pipeline Development

We build the Extract, Transform, Load pipeline using Salesforce Bulk API 2.0, Data Loader, custom Apex import jobs, or specialist ETL tooling (Informatica, Talend, MuleSoft Data Weave) — selected based on your data volume, complexity, and available infrastructure.

  • Bulk API 2.0 load pipeline build
  • Custom Apex import job development
  • MuleSoft DataWeave transformation
  • Parallel load with rate limit management

Test Migration & Validation

We run at least one full test migration into a sandbox or partial-sandbox environment before production — loading every object in the correct dependency order, running automated reconciliation counts, and producing a field-level accuracy report. Issues found in test are fixed before production day.

  • Full sandbox test migration run
  • Automated record count reconciliation
  • Field-level sample accuracy check
  • Issue log and fix before production

Production Migration & Cut-Over

We execute the production migration against a documented cut-over runbook — including data freeze timing, load sequence, go/no-go criteria, real-time progress monitoring, and a tested rollback procedure if any go/no-go gate is not met before the deadline.

  • Cut-over runbook and schedule
  • Data freeze and source lock coordination
  • Real-time load progress monitoring
  • Go/no-go gate and rollback execution

Post-Migration Validation & Reporting

After production migration, we run automated reconciliation across every migrated object — comparing total counts, spot-checking field values, and verifying relationship integrity — then produce a Migration Completion Report signed off by your team before the migration is closed.

  • Automated record count reconciliation
  • Relationship and lookup integrity check
  • Field-level spot-check report
  • Migration Completion Report and sign-off

Data Governance & Ongoing Quality

We help you establish data quality rules, validation processes, and duplicate management configuration inside Salesforce — so the data that arrives clean stays clean after your team starts using the org.

  • Salesforce duplicate rules and matching
  • Validation rule design for data entry
  • Required field and picklist enforcement
  • Data stewardship process design

Choosing the Right Migration Strategy

The migration strategy is determined by your data volume, business downtime tolerance, go-live timeline, and rollback risk appetite — not by what is quickest to execute.

Big Bang Migration

Fastest

All data migrated from the legacy system to Salesforce in a single, planned cut-over event — typically over a weekend or planned downtime window. The legacy system is decommissioned immediately after migration validation.

Best when:
  • Data volume is manageable (< 2M records)
  • Business can tolerate a defined downtime window
  • Legacy system licence cost makes parallel run expensive
  • Migration timeline is tight

Phased Migration

Lowest Risk

Data migrated in defined tranches — typically by object type, region, business unit, or date range — allowing the business to validate each phase before the next begins. The legacy and Salesforce systems run in parallel during the migration window.

Best when:
  • Data volume is very large (5M+ records)
  • Business risk appetite for a single cut-over is low
  • Multiple source systems need to be consolidated
  • Different data owners need to validate their own data

Delta Migration

Zero Downtime

Historical data is migrated in an initial bulk load, then a delta sync process captures and loads all records created or updated in the legacy system after the initial load — until the final cut-over when the delta closes to zero.

Best when:
  • Legacy system cannot be taken offline
  • Migration window spans weeks or months
  • Sales team must continue working in legacy during migration
  • Real-time bidirectional sync is not practical

Our Data Migration Delivery Process

A structured, gate-controlled migration process — no phase proceeds until the previous phase is validated and signed off. No surprises on production migration day.

01

Source System Audit

We connect to or receive an export from your source system and run automated data profiling — counting records per object, assessing field completeness rates, identifying format inconsistencies, flagging duplicates, and documenting all findings in a Data Quality Report before any migration design begins.

02

Field Mapping & Design

We produce a field-level mapping spreadsheet — every source field mapped to its Salesforce target with the transformation rule, data type conversion, picklist mapping, and null handling documented. This is reviewed and signed off by your data owner before ETL build begins.

03

Data Cleansing

We run automated cleansing against your source extract — phone number formatting, email validation, address standardisation, picklist value harmonisation, and fuzzy-match deduplication — producing a before/after record count report for your sign-off.

04

ETL Pipeline Build

We build the Extract, Transform, Load pipeline targeting Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 — processing records in the correct object dependency order (Accounts before Contacts, Contacts before Opportunities) with rate limit management, error collection, and automatic retry on transient failures.

05

Test Migration Run

We execute a full test migration into sandbox — loading every object, running automated record count reconciliation, spot-checking field values across a random sample, and producing a Test Migration Report. All issues are fixed before the production run is scheduled.

06

UAT & Data Sign-Off

We provide your data owners with access to the sandbox post-test-migration and a structured UAT checklist — verifying record counts, sampling key accounts and contacts, checking opportunity amounts, and confirming relationship integrity — before production is approved.

07

Production Migration

We execute the production migration against a cut-over runbook with defined go/no-go gates at each stage. Progress is monitored in real time. If any gate is missed, the documented rollback is executed and the migration is rescheduled — never forced through with unresolved issues.

08

Post-Migration Validation

Within 24 hours of go-live, we run automated reconciliation across every migrated object — total record counts, relationship integrity, and field-level spot checks — and produce a Migration Completion Report confirming the migration is 100% complete and accurate.

Why Businesses Trust Us with Their Data Migration

Data migration is one of the highest-risk activities in any Salesforce project. The difference between a smooth migration and a catastrophic one is methodology — not luck.

Validated Before Production

We never migrate data to production that has not been validated in a sandbox test migration first. Every production migration day is a repeat of a rehearsed, validated run — not the first attempt.

Rollback on Every Migration

Every migration we deliver includes a tested, documented rollback procedure — executed in sandbox before production day. If a go/no-go gate is missed, we roll back. Migration is never forced through with unresolved data quality issues.

Cleanse Before You Migrate

We never load dirty data into Salesforce. Deduplication, format standardisation, and data quality fixes happen before the ETL pipeline runs — so you start your new Salesforce org with clean, trustworthy data.

Full Reconciliation Reporting

We produce automated reconciliation reports at test migration and production stages — total counts, relationship integrity, and field-level spot checks — not manual spot checks across a handful of records.

Bulk API Native

We use Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 as our primary loading mechanism — capable of processing millions of records reliably within Salesforce governor limits, with parallel job management and rate limit monitoring.

GDPR & Data Privacy Aware

We handle client data under strict data processing agreements. Source data is stored only for the duration of the migration project, access is role-restricted, and all temporary data stores are securely deleted at migration close.

What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from teams who moved their most critical business data to Salesforce — and woke up the next morning with everything exactly where it should be.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We had 14 years of data in Dynamics CRM — accounts, contacts, opportunities, activities, attachments. Rackwave mapped every field, ran three test migrations, and delivered the production run on a Saturday. By Monday morning our team was in Salesforce with every record exactly where it belonged. The reconciliation report confirmed 99.9% accuracy."

Sarah Kowalski

"We tried to do the migration ourselves and ended up with 40% duplicate contacts and missing account hierarchies. Rackwave came in, ran a proper data quality audit, deduped 120,000 contacts down to 78,000 clean records, and re-migrated everything correctly. Their process is methodical in a way ours never was."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Salesforce Data Migration services.

  • How long does a Salesforce data migration take?

    Migration timelines depend on data volume, source system complexity, data quality, and the number of objects being migrated. A focused migration of a single CRM (contacts, accounts, opportunities) with under 200,000 records typically takes 3 to 5 weeks from discovery to production go-live. A large-scale migration of 1M+ records from multiple source systems with complex transformation and deduplication requirements typically takes 8 to 14 weeks. We scope every migration individually and provide a fixed timeline before the project begins.

  • What is your data migration accuracy guarantee?

    We target 99.8% field-level accuracy on every migration — measured by automated reconciliation comparing total record counts and spot-checking field values across a statistically significant random sample after migration. This accuracy is verified by a Migration Completion Report signed off by your data owner. In practice, our typical accuracy across all migrations is 99.9%+.

  • Can you migrate data from Microsoft Dynamics, HubSpot, or Zoho?

    Yes. Dynamics CRM and Dynamics 365, HubSpot, and Zoho are among the most common source systems we migrate from. We have delivered multiple production migrations from each — including complex scenarios such as Dynamics custom entity migration, HubSpot engagement history migration, and Zoho multi-module consolidation. We also migrate from Sugar CRM, Pipedrive, Vtiger, Freshsales, and most other CRM platforms.

  • What data objects can be migrated to Salesforce?

    We migrate all standard Salesforce objects — Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Cases, Activities (Tasks and Events), Campaigns, Campaign Members, Contracts, Products, and Price Books — as well as any custom objects in your Salesforce org. We also migrate files and attachments to Salesforce Files (ContentDocument and ContentVersion) where required, though this is scoped separately due to storage implications.

  • Can you deduplicate our data before migrating it?

    Yes. Data deduplication is a standard part of our pre-migration data cleansing process. We run automated fuzzy-match deduplication across the source extract — identifying and merging duplicate accounts, contacts, and leads based on configurable matching rules. We produce a before/after report showing the number of records merged and the match criteria applied, which is reviewed and signed off by your data owner before the ETL pipeline runs.

  • What is a test migration and why is it important?

    A test migration is a full execution of the migration pipeline into a sandbox or partial-sandbox Salesforce environment — loading every object in dependency order, running automated reconciliation, and producing a validation report. It is important because it reveals data quality issues, transformation problems, and relationship mapping errors that are invisible in the mapping document but apparent the moment data is loaded. Every issue found in a test migration is fixed before the production run is scheduled. We never run a production migration without at least one successful, validated test migration first.

  • What happens if something goes wrong during the production migration?

    We include a tested rollback plan in every migration. Before production day, we document the rollback procedure and verify it works in sandbox. If a go/no-go gate is missed during production — such as a record count reconciliation failure or a critical data relationship error — we execute the rollback, restore the system to its pre-migration state, and reschedule the migration after the root cause is resolved. We never force a migration through with unresolved issues.

  • Can you migrate Salesforce to Salesforce (org-to-org migration)?

    Yes. Org-to-org Salesforce migrations — merging multiple orgs, splitting an org, or migrating from a partner org to a new production org — are a common migration type we deliver. The process follows the same audit, mapping, test, and validation methodology but uses Salesforce APIs directly for extraction, avoiding the need to export to intermediate files.

  • Can you migrate historical activity data — emails, calls, and meetings?

    Yes, with caveats. Activities (Tasks and Events) can be migrated to Salesforce and associated with the correct Account, Contact, or Opportunity. However, Salesforce does not support importing future recurring Events via API, and some legacy systems store activities in formats that require transformation before loading. We assess activity data separately during the data audit phase and document any limitations before migration begins.

  • Do you sign a data processing agreement (DPA) for GDPR compliance?

    Yes. Rackwave Technologies operates as a data processor when handling client data during a migration project. We sign a Data Processing Agreement covering the lawful basis for processing, data retention and deletion commitments, security controls, and sub-processor disclosure. Source data is stored only for the duration required to execute and validate the migration, then securely deleted. We can share our standard DPA for review during the scoping phase.
