Use Cases and Deployment Scope

With my work mainly revolving around post M&A integration projects, migrating and consolidating systems and data is a critical component for the successful integration of multiple orgs into 1 cohesive company.

I have used Relokia's Help Desk Migration service multiple times and they have been instrumental in helping me with the complex ETL process of tickets, KBs and client data.

  • Ticket migration
  • Clients Data Mapping
  • Migration setup and validation
  • Interaction with the team

Cons

  • Ability to adjust historical data dates out of the box

Return on Investment

  • Low cost (compared to most competitors and vendor PS teams)
  • High Speed delivery (in soe projects within 1 week we were live)
  • ETL ease (no duplicates, super low error rate and automated mapping)

Usability

Great Service

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I was tasked with migrating our ~26,000 tickets and contacts data in Hubspot to Freshdesk and had a week to do it.

Pros

  • Excellent response times from their customer support
  • A free demo that lets you migrate about 20 tickets
  • Available to work on weekends
  • An intuitive UI for mapping fields between platforms

Cons

  • Once the demo was over, it was hard to navigate to the Full migration options without accidentally running the demo again.

Return on Investment

  • We avoided losing all of our legacy ticket data.

Usability

Complex Migration Made Simple.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were looking for a partner to migrate our Zendesk data to Odoo Helpdesk, and Help Desk Migration was up to the challenge. They custom-built the Odoo integration with their platform, making the migration seamless. After logging in to both platforms and verifying our accounts, the data migration was automatic. We had over 25,000 tickets and needed complex filtering, and Help Desk Migration made that easy!

Pros

  • Communication - proactive emails informing you of where you are in the process.
  • Comprehensive UI - provides step-by-step instructions on authenticating and setting up the platform, making it easy to get started.
  • Mapping - the process was incredibly easy, from predefined maps to adding custom fields; each step was simple.

Cons

  • Some fields could use better descriptions, but overall, everything is well labeled and documented, and the team is readily available for any questions.

Return on Investment

  • Data Continuity - keeping our customer data intact as the business evolves through platforms.
  • Data Hygiene - proper mapping reduces duplicates and keeps our data clean and easy to read.

Usability

Quick and Easy Migration even with special requests

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We migrated from Jira Service Management and Jira Software Projects in a Jira Cloud Instance to a HaloPSA Cloud Instance.

With the help of Help Desk Migration the migration was very smooth and al special requests were implemented via customization. The migration was fast, reliable and ofcource successfull.

Pros

  • Default Mapping Features resolved already 80% of our needs
  • Customization from the Help Desk Migration resolved our special needs
  • Reporting and visibility of the migration
  • Data Quality after migration
  • ease of use

Cons

  • 2FA Authentication to the Help Desk Migration Portal would be very nice as the software is handling critical data.
  • Billing is run externaly and requires communication via mail

Return on Investment

  • The required manpower was significantly lower than in previous migrations
  • The migration of data was a small task in the context of the whole project
  • No special knowledge of the data structures between the tools was required
