Microsoft CRM Data Import FAQ
By Andrew Karasev
Microsoft CRM has built-in conversion tool, however you should probably first try third party conversion tool, such as Scribe. It is relatively expensive and has bunch of importing capabilities, that you might never use and need. Scribe allows you to map objects in source and target, when source is ACT! for example. If you are just realized the need to load data into CRM - please research Microsoft CRM import tool and Scribe. Here we will describe other option and possibilities
• Master records import - you can import via MS CRM integration tool. Tools->Import and select contacts or leads
• Duplication dilemma. In version 1.2 as well as in 3.0 (as far as we know) you do not have duplication check and you can import duplicate leads or contacts.
• MS CRM SDK custom data migration. If data import is critical and you have reasonable budget for the migration - you can appeal to MS CRM customization partner who specializes in the complex data import. In MS CRM SDK you can program duplication check, special rules for security settings. We have to stress here, that this is not one thousand dollars project and if you are small company, you should stick to Scribe or native MS CRM import tool
• Large Scale MS CRM implementation. For corporate business security might have top priority and migration should be programmed in MS CRM SDK.
• Some technical tips. Post-call-outs. In MS CRM 3.0 which should be released in earlier 2006 there are so-called pre-call outs (in version 1.2 we have only post-call-outs). Pre-call-out should allow to check for duplication, based on your duplication recognition criteria and cancel record if it is duplicate contact, account or lead
