Licensing data before a CRM migration
By SourceX Editorial · Updated
Draft under editorial review.
Short answer
A CRM migration is a natural moment to review years of deal history. Exporting a full copy before you switch keeps fields and notes intact, and that copy can be assessed for licensing without slowing the move.
