Zendesk to Salesforce Migration

About The Company:

Our client, a growing company, was using Zendesk for their support operations while managing customer data on Salesforce. However, they wanted to centralize their customer-facing teams by moving from Zendesk to Salesforce Service Cloud.

Customer Challenges:

The following were a few challenges coming in the process, such as :

  • Preserve data types, specifically the various notification types used in Zendesk, during the migration to Salesforce Service Cloud
  • Retain and migrate a massive amount of customer data, including bot comments, to the new instance with the same creation dates and comment times
  • Maintain integration with Slack, which was integrated with their Zendesk, during the migration to Salesforce Service Cloud
  • Configure the new Salesforce instance to meet the customer's desires and needs
  • Added new tools and automated processes.
  • Preserved integration with other tools and customized features used by the customer
  • Have an Omnichannel Business process Environment accessible from all devices and platforms.
  • Reduction in storage cost

Solutions:

We Proposed and implemented the following solutions:

  • Conducted an in-depth analysis of the notification types used by the customer and created a customized solution to preserve all data types during the migration process.
  • Created a data migration plan and a customized solution to ensure the seamless customer data migration, including bot comments used by internal employees.
  • Configured the Salesforce Service Cloud instance to integrate with Slack and created a customized solution to ensure seamless data integration between the two platforms.
  • Created customized solutions to add new tools and automate processes according to the customer's requirements. Provided training to the customer's team to effectively use the new tools and processes.
  • Conducted an in-depth analysis of the client's existing tools and features and created customized solutions to preserve the integration of these tools and features in the new Salesforce instance.
  • Proposed switching to Service Cloud over Zendesk to have omnichannel functionality.

The successful migration from Zendesk to Salesforce Service Cloud resulted in several positive outcomes for the client. These outcomes included:
