Posted on by swati 4
Hi All
While migrating from Dynamics CRM on-premise to Dynamics 365 Sales, there are below components which need to be taken care
1. Enterprise Service Bus is being used for integration with other enterprise systems like Oracle-Finance, In-house systems etc. 
2. ADX portals are tightly bind with CRM 
3. There are 2 instances of CRM running on on-premise
4. Documents are stored as attachments to Notes entity
 
What should be the strategy for migration from On-premise to Online?

    Integration via Enterprise Service Bus (ESB):
    • Action: Replace on-prem ESB with Azure Integration Services (Logic Apps, Service Bus, API Management).
    • Recommendation: Use Dataverse Web API or Azure Service Bus Queues/Topics for real-time integration.
    2. ADX Portals (Power Apps Portals):
    • Action: Migrate to Power Pages (formerly Power Apps Portals).
    • Steps:
      • Rebuild portal pages and forms in Power Pages.
      • Migrate portal content manually or via Portal Deployment Tool.
      • Ensure authentication integrates with Azure AD B2C (if used).
    3. Multiple CRM Instances:
    • Action: Decide on a consolidation or separate environments strategy.
    • Options:
      • Migrate both instances into separate environments (Prod/Test).
      • Or merge into one if business processes align.
    4. Notes & Document Attachments:
    • Action: Use Azure Blob Storage or SharePoint for document management.
    • Steps:
      • Move attachments from Notes to external storage using tools like KingswaySoft or Power Automate.
      • Enable SharePoint integration in D365 for future attachments.
