The success of your company’s Microsoft DynamicsTM CRM 4.0 implementation is dependent on the quality of your customer data. Many customers need help getting data out of their legacy Goldmine system. We offer data migration services for companies migrating from Goldmine to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0.  Some of the difficulties that may be encountered when migrating your legacy Goldmine system to your new Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 system are:

  • Goldmine uses obscure character strings for their Primary Keys. In order be able to map the source Goldmine records with the new target records in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM system a mapping table that stores the associations between them is required.
  • The GoldMineToCDFMapping.xls file file may not be entirely accurate for your implementation and an index table may need to be created to handle the conversion.
  • GoldMine stores additional contacts outside the Contact1 and Contact2 tables, which needs to be addressed by normalizing the data.
  • Goldmine data tables contain several different types of information and entries which belong in the Notes section in Microsoft CRM Dynamics 4.0 and will need to be normalized prior to migrating.
  • Several fields in Goldmine do not translate directly into Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0.
  • There are known migration issues with contact e-mail addresses.
  • Type of Contact values need to be separated out before migrating to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0.
