Case Study: Seamless CRM Migration for a Rapidly Growing UK Tech Firm

March 21, 2024 | Alex Hall

A dynamic UK-based technology company, experiencing exponential growth, faced significant challenges with their existing CRM system, Salesforce. As their operations expanded, the limitations of their current setup became apparent, hindering their ability to scale effectively. The need for a more adaptable, growth-oriented CRM solution was clear, and HubSpot emerged as the ideal candidate.

The Challenge

The migration project wasn't just about transferring data; it required a comprehensive strategy to ensure that the new system not only mirrored the old structure but also enhanced it for scalability. The company needed a solution that could evolve with its rapid growth without compromising the integrity and utility of its extensive CRM database. Furthermore, the data within Salesforce needed significant transformation to ensure its accuracy, relevance, and effectiveness in the new HubSpot environment.


Our Approach

DataGains stepped in to orchestrate a seamless migration from Salesforce to HubSpot. Our first step was to conduct an in-depth analysis of the existing CRM structure, data quality, and business processes to craft a tailored migration plan. Recognising the importance of data integrity, we undertook a meticulous data transformation process, cleansing, deduplicating, and enriching data to ensure its utmost quality.


The strategic plan also involved rethinking the CRM architecture to support scalability. We designed custom fields, workflows, and automation in HubSpot that mirrored the company's operational nuances while introducing enhanced features for growth management and scalability.


The Solution

The migration process was executed with precision, ensuring zero downtime and no disruption to the company's daily operations. Our strategic foresight in planning allowed for a smooth transition of all CRM data, with rigorous testing phases to guarantee full functionality from day one in the new HubSpot environment.


To ensure the company leveraged HubSpot to its full potential, DataGains provided comprehensive training to the tech firm's team, covering the new system's capabilities, best practices, and advanced features.


The Outcome

The migration was a resounding success, marked by the tech company's seamless transition to a more scalable and efficient CRM system. The strategic foresight in the planning stages ensured that the new HubSpot setup was not just a replication but an enhancement of the previous system. The data transformation process led to a cleaner, more effective database, driving better decision-making and customer engagement.


Post-migration, the company has reported improved operational efficiency, increased sales productivity, and enhanced customer satisfaction. The new CRM system has become a cornerstone of their continued growth, fully equipped to scale with their ambitious expansion plans.


Conclusion

This project exemplifies DataGains' commitment to delivering bespoke CRM solutions that not only address immediate needs but also pave the way for future growth. Through strategic planning, meticulous execution, and ongoing support, we ensure that our clients are perfectly positioned to meet their evolving business objectives.
