Option 3
Custom Data Migration
Furthermore, Trujay provides specialized data migration services tailored to cater to specific migration needs that may not be adequately addressed by their self-service or guided support options. Through our custom data migration service, we offer a personalized approach to meet your unique data migration requirements. Whether it involves transferring data between intricate systems, managing large volumes of data, or handling unconventional data structures, we have got you covered.

Option 1: Self-Service Data Migration
Trujay's self-service data migration app, available at app.trujay.com, empowers users to migrate their data independently. With prices ranging from $199 to $1,999, this option provides a cost-effective solution for businesses with the resources and expertise to handle the migration themselves. The self-service option allows you to complete the migration in just a few days, giving you control over the process while benefiting from Trujay's robust migration technology.

Pro
This option is still a level of DIY, which makes it a lower cost and the timeline is your own. Plus most of the Microsoft Dynamics to monday CRM migration tools are connected to almost all of the standard objects you would want to migrate (emails, attachments, notes, products, calls, etc.)

Con
If you choose to handle the task yourself, it is important to seek guidance. Moving into a new system and redesigning from scratch can be challenging, especially without the support of familiar logic and functionality. Take a moment to explore if there are professional services available to provide assistance if you encounter any obstacles.

Option 2: Guided Support
For businesses seeking hands-on assistance, Trujay's guided support option is an ideal choice. With this option, a professional services team member will work closely with you, ensuring the migration wizard, mapping, and testing go smoothly. Priced between $1,499 and $2,599, the guided support option provides expert assistance throughout the migration process. The timeline for completion is typically one to one and a half weeks, giving you a seamless transition without the burden of managing the migration independently.

Pro
Migrating to a new system or platform can be a risky endeavor, especially if you lack experience or knowledge in the specific migration process. Guided support minimizes the risk by providing you with expert guidance at each step, ensuring that you follow the correct procedures and avoid common pitfalls.

Con
With guided support, you may experience less control over the migration process than a self-guided approach. The migration experts may utilize their own methodologies and frameworks, which may not precisely align with your specific requirements or preferences.

Option 3: Custom Data Migration
For a fully managed and comprehensive migration experience, Trujay's custom data migration service is the ultimate solution. With prices ranging from $2,500 to $10,000, this option involves the Trujay team handling the entire migration for you. From planning to execution, Trujay's experts manage every aspect of the migration, ensuring a successful transition within a timeline of approximately three weeks. This option allows you to focus on your core business activities while leaving the migration process in the hands of Trujay's skilled professionals.

Pro
A custom migration allows you to truly customize: filter, move objects to different objects, merge data, de-duplicate, etc. The burden of the migration and integrity of the data will remain intact and not opened up to risk as the data migration partner will/should be data experts. Some businesses can get caught up in migrating their own data for 6 months! You can find a data migration partner who can do it in 2-4 weeks, depending on your complexity.

Con
This option will cost more as you are paying for professional services. To thwart this, find a data migration partner who uses their own tools to automate a lot of the migration, therefor will have lower costs, lower human effort.
FAQs
Knowledge Base
What is a Sample Migration?
Sample Migration is a process where we transfer a small part of your records (approximately 10% of all data) to the target CRM platform and estimate the price of a Full Data Migration. You can test our service using the Free Sample Import.
You can change options and rerun the sample migration as many times as you need.
How does Free Sample work?
During the Sample Migration, we take a part of your records and migrate them to your target CRM platform, along with relations between those records. The entire process may take up to 15 minutes; it depends on the specification of your CRMs.
What happens after the Sample Migration is complete?
Once complete, you can review the transferred records in the target platform. Evaluate the results to make sure they work for you.
What is a Guided Migration?
A guided migration provides you with a Trujay dedicated CSM that will complete all the mappings for you.
This is an excellent option for people that need an extra layer of support with their migration.
Included:
- Everything in Wizard
- Customer Success Manager
- Mapping Verification
- Quality Assurance
- 1 - 2 Week Delivery
What is a Record?
A Record is the data item that exists in the CRM's system
- 1 record = 1 Account/Task/Opportunity/Attachment/Note/Email, etc.
- 1 record = one entity of CRM data (no matter what type is it).
For example:
Your current CRM possesses:
- 1 account
- 2 tasks
- 3 emails
- 2 notes.
In summary you have 1 account + 2 tasks + 3 emails + 2 notes = 8 records.
What is a Delta Migration?
A delta migration is the final migration performed during your custom migration process.
It ensures that all the data you have requested to be migrated is transferred and your target CRM is up to date right before the launch.

You can clean up the data yourself in the Microsoft Dynamics portal. This will require some effort and time on your side, however it will have no additional cost.

You can ask the data migration partner to filter the data on the way over. If you have identified bad data and can give the partner bullet points on what data you don’t want to migrate to monday CRM, they can write custom scripts to only migrate what you specify.

You can clean the data post-migration and should be relatively easy with monday CRM’s segmenting tools. Create the filters or custom views and then delete!
What are my options?
Microsoft Dynamics to monday CRM: Objects
Microsoft Dynamics follows a classic data structure, including Contacts, Leads, Accounts, Opportunities, Custom Objects, and Pricebooks. In contrast, monday CRM offers complete customization capabilities with its "Boards," "Groups," and "Items" structure.

Using Trujay's migration application, you can seamlessly map and migrate your MS Dynamics data objects to their corresponding counterparts in monday CRM.

De-Duplicating
There are several de-duplication tools on the market to consider and all of them are low costs. Most likely the data migration partner has relationships installed and can get the prices at a discount for you, make sure to ask.
Bad or Outdated Contacts
Using a tool like Neverbounce is great to identify which emails are invalid, unverified, or a catch-all email (hello@trujay.com or support@trujay.com). From there you can mark and remove those and these costs are pretty minimal as well.
