CRM Migrations

Moving between platforms, made simple.

Move to HubSpot Without Losing What Matters

Structured migrations for mid-market B2B teams moving from Salesforce, Dynamics, or any legacy CRM

Switching CRMs is less about moving data and more about not losing what matters in the process. Deal history. Contact relationships. Pipeline context. The logic behind how records were structured. A migration done without a clear data map leaves teams working from an incomplete picture of their own pipeline on day one. We map everything before anything moves, so you arrive in HubSpot with a clean system that reflects how you actually sell, not just a copy of what you left behind.

We treat migration as an architecture decision, not a data transfer. Every field, every record relationship, and every piece of pipeline history gets evaluated before we move it.

If you're Looking to Switch Platforms

Your current CRM holds years of deal history, contact relationships, and pipeline data. The team has been working around its limitations, but the records are there.

 

The concern isn’t whether to move. It’s whether the migration will land cleanly or leave you with a broken dataset, missing history, and a go-live that sets the team back instead of moving it forward.

Data loss is the most common migration risk and the most avoidable one. Even a 2% data loss during a CRM migration can distort segmentation models and produce inaccurate sales forecasts that affect entire quarters. (Source: Kanerika, 2025) The companies that migrate cleanly are the ones that treat data mapping as the first deliverable, not an afterthought.

The Migration Is the Easiest Part

What Happens Before the Move Is What Determines the Outcome

Most migration problems don’t start during the transfer. They start weeks earlier, when fields get mapped without a clear picture of how the new system should work, when records get moved before the property structure is ready to receive them, and when the team is handed a configured portal without understanding what changed or why.

The migrations that go smoothly follow the same sequence. Audit the current state. Design the destination architecture. Map every field to its new home. Validate with a test dataset. Then move. That sequence takes longer to set up. It takes far less time to recover from.

How We Migrate Seamlessly

Data Audit and Source Assessment

  • Full property and object audit of your source CRM
  • Data quality assessment with a prioritized cleanup plan
  • Clear documentation of what moves, what transforms, and what stays behind

Data Audit and Source Assessment

  • Property architecture designed for clean segmentation and reporting
  • Custom objects and associations mapped to your actual data relationships
  • Required field logic established before migration begins

Field Mapping and Data Transformation

  • Source-to-destination field map reviewed and signed off before build
  • Data transformation logic for fields that don’t transfer one-to-one
  • Deprecated fields identified and excluded to keep the new portal clean

Deal and Pipeline History Preservation

  • Deal records migrated with associated contacts, companies, and activity
  • Historical stage progression preserved where the source data supports it
  • Closed and lost deal history retained for reporting and benchmarking

Validation and Testing

  • Pre-migration test run with a representative subset of records
  • Post-migration validation report comparing source and destination counts
  • Signed-off data accuracy checklist before the team is given access

Team Onboarding and Go-Live Support

  • Role-based training sessions built around the migrated portal
  • Quick-reference documentation for the first week of use
  • Go-live support window for the first five business days post-migration
"We had HubSpot for a year and a half and weren't getting what we needed from it. Portlandia rebuilt the architecture in six weeks. Our pipeline reviews are materially different now."
- Michael, VP of Sales Operations (Manufacturing)
"The thing that stood out was how much work happened before they touched the portal. We spent the first two weeks aligning on what our pipeline stages actually meant. That process alone was worth the engagement."
- Barbara, RevOps Director (SaaS Industry)
"The handoff between marketing and sales had always been a pain point. After the implementation, we had better definitions for the first time. MQL meant the same thing to both teams. That changed the conversation in our pipeline reviews."
- Viktor, Sales Director (Distribution)
"We had so many potential leads but no way to target them at scale. Portlandia helped us increase sales by defining better targets and automating sales tasks."
- Veronica, Sales Director (Professional Services)
"I cannot believe how easy it is to work with you. I never had this from my last agency, it was so copy-paste there. Thank you."
- Chris, Founder (Real Estate)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you handle the marketing and sales relationship in this engagement?

Not necessarily. If you’re starting fresh, we handle the full setup. If you’re already on Marketing Hub, we begin with an audit of your current configuration before making any recommendations. Either way, nothing gets built until we understand your current state.

Deliberately. Lead scoring thresholds, MQL definitions, and handoff criteria are decided with sales leadership involved, not handed down from marketing. Programs that sales doesn’t buy into create friction rather than pipeline. Alignment between the two teams is part of the scope from day one.

We configure HubSpot’s attribution reporting to reflect your actual buyer journey: which channels and touchpoints are typically involved, how long your cycles run, and where marketing tends to have the most influence. We work with your leadership to choose an attribution model that reflects how your business actually works, rather than defaulting to whatever is easiest to configure.

Yes. Many clients have an in-house content function or a separate content partner. We manage the HubSpot infrastructure and campaign architecture and integrate with whoever is producing content. We provide a clear brief on what’s needed, in what format, and on what timeline.

Most engagements are a combination of both. We run the execution layer while transferring knowledge to your internal team throughout the engagement. If you have an existing marketing team that needs strategic support and infrastructure builds rather than full management, we scope accordingly.

Campaign influence on pipeline becomes visible within the first 60 to 90 days for most mid-market companies. Attribution data becomes increasingly reliable over 3 to 6 months as it accumulates. The structural improvements, including cleaner lead scoring, better nurture, and faster handoffs, tend to show the most immediate signal.

Paid channel strategy and management are available as part of a broader engagement. We connect paid performance to HubSpot tracking so campaign ROI sits in the same reporting environment as organic and email, giving leadership a unified view rather than separate dashboards per channel.

It rarely is. We assess your data quality as part of the initial audit and include a data cleanup and property strategy in the build phase. A reliable marketing program requires reliable contact data, and we treat that as a prerequisite rather than a separate project.
