Option 2
Guided Support
When you opt for guided support migration with Trujay, you'll have access to a team of migration specialists who will provide personalized assistance throughout the entire migration process. They will work closely with you to understand your specific requirements, assess your data, and create a customized SugarCRM to monday CRM migration plan tailored to your needs.
Option 3
Custom Data Migration
Trujay also provides custom data migration services to cater to specific migration requirements that may not be covered by their self-service or guided support options. Custom data migration involves a tailored approach to meet your unique data migration needs, whether it's migrating data between complex systems, handling large data volumes, or dealing with specialized data structures.

Option 1: Self-Service Data Migration
With Trujay's self-service data migration app, available at app.trujay.com, businesses can migrate their data independently. This cost-effective option, with prices ranging from $199 to $1,999, puts you in control of the migration process. Using Trujay's intuitive migration app, you can complete the migration in just a few days. Regardless of whether your SugarCRM is hosted locally or in the cloud, Trujay accommodates both scenarios, leveraging their deep experience with both databases. This self-service option is ideal for businesses with the resources and expertise to handle the migration themselves.

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 SugarCRM 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
Trujay's guided support option provides expert assistance throughout the migration process. With this option, a professional services team member will guide you through the migration wizard, ensuring a smooth transition. They will assist with mapping, testing, and any other challenges that may arise during the migration. Priced between $1,499 and $2,599, this option offers peace of mind and a streamlined migration experience. The typical timeline for completion is usually one to one and a half weeks, enabling you to quickly leverage the capabilities of monday CRM.

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 ideal choice. With prices ranging from $2,500 to $10,000, the Trujay team handles the entire migration process for you. From initial planning to execution, their 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 Trujay's skilled professionals take care of the intricacies of the migration.

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 SugarCRM 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?
SugarCRM to monday CRM: Objects
SugarCRM follows a classic data structure consisting of Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, and Attachments. With monday CRM's complete customization capabilities, you can seamlessly map these data objects to the flexible structure of "Boards," "Groups," and "Items" within 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.
