Most CRM migrations fail because they treat data movement as the whole task. Data is about 30% of the work — the other 70% is customisation mapping, integration porting, user training and adoption. Redian Software runs migrations to SuiteCRM as full change programmes, not extract-transform-load projects. CMMI Level 3 Appraised, ISO 27001 and 9001 certified, with nine years and 200+ enterprises of production CRM delivery from Noida, Nairobi, Dubai, London and New York — and seven published SuiteCRM Store extensions from our engineering bench.
What we migrate
- Salesforce → SuiteCRM when licensing has outgrown budget, or data-sovereignty and self-hosting become non-negotiable.
- SugarCRM Professional / Sell → SuiteCRM — shared code lineage, smoother path than most.
- Zoho → SuiteCRM when an open-source and self-hosted future fits better than SaaS lock-in.
- Microsoft Dynamics → SuiteCRM — common pattern in enterprise consolidation.
- HubSpot → SuiteCRM for firms outgrowing the marketing-first stack.
- Custom or in-house CRM → SuiteCRM — anything from spreadsheets to home-grown systems.
Who we build this for
- Mid-market and enterprise firms hit by CRM licence increases or scope-creep pricing
- Regulated banks, insurers and public-sector clients requiring self-hosting or on-prem
- Firms with data-residency requirements the incumbent SaaS cannot meet
- CRM teams that want to own the source code and the roadmap
- Multi-brand or multi-country groups needing one CRM they can configure without per-seat cost pressure
What we deliver
- Data migration — extract, cleanse, deduplicate, validate; three-cycle trial migration to a UAT sandbox; contractual rollback path.
- Customisation mapping — custom fields, workflows, validations, scripts and reports mapped to SuiteCRM equivalents or built new.
- Integration porting — telephony (Twilio, Aircall, RingCentral), accounting (QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books, Tally), marketing automation, e-signature, KYC and payment.
- Parallel-run cutover — old and new CRM live side-by-side until reconciliation proves the cutover safe; rollback live throughout.
- Training and adoption programme — role-based training, named change champions, gamification, post-go-live coaching.
- Post-migration optimisation — quarterly business reviews, optimisation sprints, integration extensions and security patching.
Our approach
Discovery — current CRM audit, customisation inventory, integration map, adoption assessment, and a written migration plan with fixed scope. Design and mapping — target object model, field and workflow mapping, integration architecture. Trial migration — three-cycle trial migration to UAT with cleansing and reconciliation. Build and integration porting — custom SuiteCRM modules and integration re-implementation. UAT and training — business UAT with role-based training and named champions. Cutover and parallel run — staged cutover, parallel run where risk demands, hypercare. Optimisation — quarterly business reviews. Timeline committed at end of Discovery, in writing.
