Salesforce to Dynamics 365 Migration
Delivered By
Cynoteck Technology Solutions

Challenge

The goal was to retire Salesforce for Dynamics 365, but keeping every lead, case, and piece of customer feedback intact mattered just as much.

Opportunity

Improved lead management depended on the website and CRM finally speaking to each other, something the old Salesforce setup couldn't deliver.

Outcome

A fully configured Dynamics CRM environment, connected to the website and Outlook, migrated with zero downtime.

A Platform Switch, With No Room for Lost Data

Migrating an entire CRM history carries real risk. This retailer needed a careful move, not a rushed one.

πŸ”€
Pain Point 01
An Entire CRM Needed to Move Platforms

The client's core requirement was to migrate the entire CRM system from Salesforce to Dynamics 365, with nothing left behind.

🌐
Pain Point 02
The Website Had No Connection to the CRM

Seamless website integration with Dynamics 365 was essential for better lead management, something the old setup never delivered.

πŸ“‹
Pain Point 03
Leads, Cases, and Feedback Needed Better Handling

Improving service quality meant managing leads, support cases, and customer feedback far more effectively.

⏸️
Pain Point 04
Downtime Wasn't an Option During the Switch

A migration of this scale carried a real risk of business disruption if it wasn't planned and executed carefully.

A Careful Migration From Salesforce to Dynamics

Cynoteck's approach kept the retailer's sales team working normally throughout the migration, with reporting and Outlook integration built in from day one.

Before & After: How CRM Operations Changed

Here's what changed for this retailer's sales and support teams after the migration to Dynamics 365 was complete.

Before Cynoteck
  • Sales and support ran entirely through Salesforce
  • The website had no direct connection to the CRM platform
  • Lead management depended on manual cross-checking between systems
  • Reporting offered limited real-time visibility into opportunities
  • Outlook and the CRM operated as two separate, disconnected tools
  • Case and feedback management lacked a consistent process
  • Scalability for future growth was uncertain under the old setup
  • Any platform switch risked real disruption to daily sales activity
After Cynoteck
  • Sales and support run entirely through Dynamics 365
  • The website connects directly to the CRM for better lead management
  • Advanced reporting surfaces potential opportunities in real time
  • Outlook integrates smoothly, keeping the sales team fully connected
  • Cases and customer feedback are handled through one consistent process
  • The native Dynamics CRM setup is built with high scalability in mind
  • The migration was completed with zero downtime and negligible impact
  • Customer satisfaction rates improved alongside business agility
