Why Migr8
An CRM On-Premise to Online project in most cases consist of the following four pillars:
Migration of Data
- The most complicated and time-consuming task. Without Migr8 the investment is much higher and not having the logic in place beforehand (cascading, look ups etc.) adds more complexity and risk to the Project. Migr8 simplifies this complex step and ensures an effortless data migration at no risk. It also includes delta 2 migration at no additional cost.
Migration of Customisation
- The second pillar in the migration process is planning how to move your Customisation to CRM Online. If your On-Premise CRM version is 2015 or 2016, the task is simple. Export all your customisation as a solution and import the solution to CRM online. If your current CRM is older than 2015, in order to export a solution you need to upgrade your CRM before migrating to online.
Managing extensions, reports, plugins, unsupported code etc.
- This is probably true specially if you are running an older version of CRM On-Premise. However regardless version you always need to be sure that your extensions, reports, plugins, J scripts are compatible with Dynamics 365.
Migration of 3. party solutions
- Most CRM customers have some kind of 3. party solutions. Most ISV suppliers today provide a managed solution to Dynamics 365 which can be easily imported into the online environment.
Change may seem difficult as you move away from what is familiar. Dynamics 365 online looks familiarly like the equivalent on-premises version, but it has a lot going on behind the scenes. It is more agile, more versatile, and has the convenience of mobility.
By getting on the platform now you are setting yourselves up to have access and take advantage of these innovations as they continue to play out. There’s never been a better time to update your systems and take advantage of all the benefits of cloud-based business applications.
