MOST CRM DATA MIGRATION CONCERNS
Questions to ask your vendor and what you can expect from Vincere
You will have around 10 days between us getting your final data and your Go-Live. This 10-day period is essentially one where you are "in-between systems”. Don't worry, we'll also get you the Delta Migration which will help to fill the data during this time gap.
The cost of migration is largely based on the complexity of the data you have decided to migrate into your new recruitment software.
There are a wide range of costs when it comes to data migrations...sometimes they are even offered for free (red flag!)
Vincere has migrated at least 1,000+ recruitment agencies from popular CRM systems. Hence, we are extremely familiar with database structures and the necessary work (and gotchas) that's required to successfully move your data. That's part of the reason why our migration services can be offered at competitive prices.
We suggest speaking with your vendor and asking for a detailed project management plan for data migration. Here are some top tips to help:
- Data Profiling and Testing: Use data profiling and migration testing to identify data-related risks.
- Data Validation and Mapping: Ensure that data mapping and validation are accurate.
- Communication Plan: Establish a clear and proactive communication plan to keep all stakeholders informed of the migration process.
- Review Migration: Conduct a test migration with a smaller subset of data to uncover any unexpected issues or risks before migrating the entire dataset.
- Training: This ensures the users are ready to use the system on day one and that no billing time is wasted.
When changing your recruitment CRM, your data doesn't need to be perfect or cleaned necessarily. We'll need a number of essential fields and data to create records in Vincere system (name, email addresses, etc.). Then, we can move your data across even if it’s very basic and missing a lot of other information. We are confident with our experience that nothing is lost during the data migration and that everything important to you is migrated from your legacy system.
At Vincere, we design our process to keep you in the loop and aware of what’s going on. Our communications and process are straightforward so you won't need technical expertise to get the migration project over the line. Our project manager will guide you every step of the way.
The first step is ensuring that you have access controls in place so that relevant people have access to your database and files. At Vincere, we engaged Bishop Fox - a third-party security specialist and certified Google partner - to assess the security and vulnerabilities of our application and Cloud process infrastructure.
