Salesforce Migration for Indianapolis companies

Migrations for Indianapolis companies often come from consolidation: an acquired business on Microsoft Dynamics, a division on HubSpot, and a sales team that never left spreadsheets. We catalog every source, measure duplicates and gaps, agree field by field what moves and what is archived, and clean before loading. Trial loads run in a sandbox and are reconciled against source counts. The final cutover follows a dated plan with a short freeze, and our consultants support users through their first days on the new system.

Local industries

How migration plays out in Indianapolis.

Finance and insurance

Finance and insurance represents at least 7.5% of 2024 metro output, and the region's insurers and health plans carry large volumes of member, agent and policy data. Migrating that into Salesforce means preserving relationships between agents, agencies and policyholders, not just contact fields. We map those links carefully, carry over consent and complaint history where regulations require it, and reconcile record counts by type after each trial load so compliance staff can confirm nothing went missing.

Professional, scientific, and technical services

Consulting, engineering and IT firms frequently migrate from a CRM bundled with their project or accounting software. Those systems mix clients, projects and invoices in ways Salesforce separates, so the mapping work matters more than the load itself. We decide with partners and finance which past projects become closed opportunities, how active engagements appear, and what billing data stays in the accounting system, giving account leaders useful history without copying everything.

Automotive & Mobility

Automotive and mobility suppliers, a target sector for Indy Partnership, often hold program and customer data in spreadsheets maintained by individual account managers. A migration to Salesforce for them includes standardizing OEM and plant hierarchies, program names and model years, so forecasts can later roll up correctly. We clean and structure that data before load and set validation rules so it stays consistent once people start entering new programs directly in Salesforce.

Plan for it

What to plan for in Indianapolis.

Agree on what not to migrate

Old leads with no activity, test records and duplicate contacts inflate storage and clutter search. Set cutoff rules with each department, such as activity age or record status, and archive the rest somewhere reachable. Every record you leave behind is one less to map, test and explain.

Standardize hierarchies before loading

Parent and child account structures, such as corporate groups, plants or agencies, are hard to fix after the fact. Build the hierarchy in a staging spreadsheet or database, review it with account owners, and load it first so contacts, opportunities and cases attach to the right level.

Keep the old system readable

After cutover, users will want to check something in the old system. Keep it read-only for a defined period, or export an archive, instead of switching it off on go-live day. That reduces anxiety and support tickets during the first weeks in Salesforce.

FAQ

Migration in Indianapolis: questions.

After an acquisition, how are customers that exist in both companies' CRMs merged?

We match the two customer lists before migrating anything, using names, addresses, tax IDs or ERP numbers where they exist. Likely matches go to account owners from both companies for review, because they know which records represent the same customer. Merged records keep history from both sides, ownership is decided in advance, and a report lists every merge so questions can be answered later.

Can we migrate from Microsoft Dynamics without losing custom data?

Yes. Custom entities and fields in Dynamics usually map to custom objects or fields in Salesforce, though some are better represented with standard objects Salesforce already provides. We review each one, decide whether it is still used, and design the target structure before extracting data. Activities, notes and attachments are moved selectively, with older material archived where it remains accessible to the people who need it.

How do you prove the migration was complete and accurate?

Each trial and final load ends with reconciliation: record counts by object compared with the source, spot checks of sample records chosen by the business, and checks of relationships such as contacts to accounts. We document results and exceptions in a sign-off report. Business owners review and approve it before cutover proceeds, so accuracy is confirmed by the people who depend on the data.
