    Migration & Integration

    The implemented solution involves transferring data mastered in SAP-CDC to HubSpot. The objective is to enable two business units to send marketing emails to those who opted in and transaction emails to all registered users.

    To get the 1+ million contacts migrated:

    • Data Analysis & Mapping: Analysed data & mapped with HS fields
    • Data Transformation: Transformed the export to match what HubSpot expects according to the mapping file
    • Data Load: Manual migration required from SAP CDC to HubSpot.

    Future-Proofing Strategies:

    • Integration & Automation: Implement an automated process for newly created data, ensuring continuous transformation and synchronization by the integration with HubSpot.

    This solution optimally addresses the objective, ensuring a seamless migration, continuous integration, and leveraging the contacts effectively for marketing purposes.

    Results

    In summary, the strategic setup of data migration, phased approach, integration with Salesforce, and focus on personalized experiences contributed to the transformative results achieved by ION in collaboration with Elixir.
    Closing the loop between Marketing & Sales:

    Our Solution of migrating from Salesforce/Pardot to HubSpot, unified ION's marketing and sales operations, ensuring a cohesive and efficient workflow.

    • Initially, a temporary integration was established between HubSpot and Salesforce during Phase 1, allowing leads generated in HubSpot to synchronize with Salesforce for continuous sales operations.
    • In Phase 2, as the sales department fully transitioned to HubSpot, a refined workflow was implemented. This workflow triggered automatic emails to Salesforce when a lead reached the "close reservation" stage, maintaining a synchronized and real-time data exchange.
    The result is a closed-loop system where marketing and sales collaborate, enabling personalized lead management, aligned objectives, and improved operational efficiency all within the HubSpot environment.

    Migration from Pardot/Salesforce to Hubspot

    As our marketing & sales teams felt the need for a more intuitive CRM system to cover our lead generation process, we knew that Hubspot could do the job. Finding the right implementation partner was not easy though, given the very short deadline and complex Salesforce set-up. Elixir helped us by first and foremost outlining the process and relationships between objects and then tackling track by track with experts: data mapping, form & workflow migration, marketing set-up, sales set-up, and custom event management. The hard deadline was met and overall we are satisfied with the responsiveness and speed with which the Elixir experts accomplished their assignment
