Determine Your Data Migration Scope
One of the most strategic decisions in data migration is determining scope. More data isn't always better.
This table outlines common data categories and the decisions most companies make when determining the data to migrate.
| Data Category | Migration Scope | Common Migration Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Product catalog | All products, bundles, price books, and attributes. The foundation of everything else. | Always migrated. The question is the extent to which rationalization occurs. |
| Active subscriptions and assets | Subscriptions and assets that future renewals, amendments, and billing require for continuity. | Almost always migrated. Defines ongoing revenue management. |
| Closed won opportunities | Historical opportunities for revenue reporting continuity. | Migrated for reporting. |
| Expired or canceled subscriptions | Historical subscriptions that don't have any future business events. | Not migrated to Revenue Management to reduce volume. |
| In-flight quotes | Active quotes that sales reps are working on at go-live. | Strategic long-running deals are only migrated. Short-term quotes are recreated. |
| Closed lost or expired quotes | Historical quotes that have little operational value. | Typically not migrated. |
| Order history | Activated orders that have resulted in subscriptions or assets. | Assets are migrated. |
