How to perform data migration in Dynamics CRM?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 365

Hi,

in the event that a company is moving its business from one system to CRM on the cloud, what does "data migration" basically means, and how is it performed?

Can you  please provide some examples or tutorials with steps and screens, if any?

Thanks

    Hi,

    If data is less then you can use OOB data export/Import feature - docs.microsoft.com/.../import-accounts-leads-other-data

    If data is more and involve complex business logic then you should consider using Kingsway software for data migration - www.kingswaysoft.com/.../ssis-integration-toolkit-for-microsoft-dynamics-crm

    You can also write Custom utility using C# and CRM SDK to migrate your data.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your answers.

    Do all these methods apply to Dynamics CRM on cloud too?
