Customer Feedback
“Smart App Business Solutions have a very strong understanding of the data structures behind Microsoft Dynamics 365 and what was needed for us to successfully migrate our data into this new system. As part of our development we needed to migrate many years’ worth of existing data from our existing complex system, which required maintaining referential integrity across many tables and data types. For this Smart App Business Solutions have developed a custom data migration App and methodology that streamlines the process. I was able to use this App directly and I found it to be fast and user friendly, including the ability to roll-back and trouble shoot certain migration batches when needed.
It was a pleasure working with the team at Smart App Business Solutions who were very committed and attentive with their support. Their team are totally steadfast in their approach and always very responsive to any challenges encountered throughout the development process, which to me was a crucial factor towards achieving success.“
–Tom Winkler, Business Intelligence Analyst, Energy & Water Ombudsman SA
What Data Can You Migrate?
The data that can be migrated depends on your source system, destination environment, and project configuration. Supported migration scenarios may include:
- Customer and contact records.
- Accounts and related business information.
- Historical CRM records.
- Custom entities and tables.
- Lookup fields and supported complex data types.
- Related records that require parent-child relationships to be maintained.
Our team can review your data structure and migration objectives to determine which records and relationships can be supported.
How Our Data Migration Tool Works
Our migration process follows six practical steps to help manage data quality, record relationships, and migration progress.
Step 1: Assess Your Existing Data
We review your source system, data structure, record volumes, and business objectives to identify migration requirements and potential dependencies.
Step 2: Map Source and Destination Fields
We map source fields to the appropriate Microsoft Dynamics 365 tables and fields, taking account of differences between the existing system and the destination environment.
Step 3: Validate Data and Relationships
We check relevant field formats, required values, lookup references, and related records to help identify issues before or during migration.
Step 4: Migrate Data in Batches
Records are processed in manageable batches so the migration team can monitor progress and investigate problems as they arise.
Step 5: Investigate and Resolve Errors
Detailed error information helps identify records that require attention. Where supported, batches can be rolled back to assist with troubleshooting and reprocessing.
Step 6: Verify the Migrated Records
We review migrated record counts, field values, and relationships against the agreed migration requirements to help confirm the results.
