A little while ago, a discussion and demo were held showing how easy it can be to do a data migration from Salesforce to SugarCRM, using Starfish ETL™.  You can watch the full recording on the Starfish ETL™ website, CRM Migration: Salesforce to SugarCRM, but I wanted to take a couple minutes to talk about the benefits of the Starfish ETL™ data migration and integration tool.

Starfish ETL™ was created by Technology Advisors, Inc. (TAI) to improve customer efficiency. TAI saw many clients, and potential clients, needing to do complex data migrations, but not wanting to break their banks to do so. Starfish ETL™ was born. Starfish ETL™ quickly and efficiently facilitates data migrations and integrations. 

If you're switching CRM systems and need to move your data from your old system to your new system, Starfish ETL™ can do that for you. Many pre-built maps already exist, such as a map moving your Salesforce data, into SugarCRM. If you visit the Starfish ETL™ website and don't see the specific map you're looking for, one can always be built for you. 

Starfish ETL™ can also import and export data, both at scheduled times, and/or in real-time. Many clients use Starfish ETL™ to integrate their CRM and ERP systems. Starfish ETL™ can also be used for data cleansing, data integrity and duplicate checking.

At the end of the day Starfish ETL™ can save you effort, money, time and headaches when trying to migrate data or get your systems talking to one another.
