Salesforce migration consulting in Seattle.

Exports are the easy part. What decides whether a migration succeeds is mapping old fields to the new model, resolving duplicates, choosing which history to keep, loading records in the right order to preserve relationships and reconciling counts afterward. We also plan how connected systems switch to Salesforce IDs. Teams that skip those steps usually end up cleaning data inside the new org.

Yes. Some companies decide their old org is too tangled to fix and prefer a fresh one with a simpler design. We build the new org first, map the old data to it, move only active records and needed history and archive the rest. Integrations, reports and automation are rebuilt rather than copied, so the new org does not inherit the old problems.

Not always. Moving sales and service first, while keeping the current marketing tool synced, reduces risk and gives the team one change at a time. If the marketing platform is part of the reason for moving, for example because consent or attribution cannot be trusted, a combined migration may be better. We decide based on where the biggest problems sit.
