Why Migrate from Salesforce to Dynamics 365?

Migration isn't just about changing platforms—it's an opportunity to transform your business with AI-powered automation and significant cost savings.

Leverage Microsoft's AI Ecosystem

Dynamics 365 is deeply integrated with Microsoft's advanced AI tools like Copilot and Azure OpenAI Service, enabling intelligent automation that Salesforce can't match. This integration allows you to automate complex tasks, generate content, and provide AI-assisted insights directly within your business applications.

Reduce Workforce Requirements

By migrating to Dynamics 365 with its advanced AI capabilities, you can potentially reduce your CRM administrative staff by 30-50%. AI-powered automation can handle data entry, lead qualification, routine customer inquiries, and report generation that previously required human intervention.

Seamless Microsoft Ecosystem Integration

Unlike Salesforce, Dynamics 365 natively integrates with the entire Microsoft ecosystem including Office 365, Teams, Power BI, and Power Platform. This eliminates data silos and creates a unified digital workplace where information flows seamlessly between systems.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Organizations typically save 30-40% on licensing and operational costs when migrating from Salesforce to Dynamics 365. Combined with workforce reduction through AI automation, the ROI becomes even more compelling, often paying for the migration within 12-18 months.

Workforce Reduction Through AI

Our clients typically see a 30-50% reduction in CRM administrative staff after migrating to Dynamics 365 and implementing its AI capabilities. Here's how:

Data Entry & Management

AI automation can reduce manual data entry needs by 70%, eliminating positions focused on data maintenance and cleansing.

Customer Support

AI-powered virtual agents can handle 60% of routine customer inquiries, reducing the need for large support teams.

Sales Administration

Automated lead scoring, opportunity management, and follow-up tasks can reduce sales administrative staff requirements by 40%.

Reporting & Analytics

Automated report generation and AI-powered insights eliminate the need for dedicated reporting staff and data analysts.

Marketing Operations

AI content generation and campaign optimization reduce the need for large marketing operations teams by up to 35%.

Management Overhead

With smaller teams needed for CRM operations, management overhead can be reduced proportionally, creating leaner organizational structures.

Salesforce vs. Dynamics 365 Comparison

See how Dynamics 365 offers significant advantages over Salesforce in terms of Microsoft ecosystem integration, AI capabilities, and cost savings.

Category
Dynamics 365 LogoMicrosoft Dynamics 365Recommended
Salesforce LogoSalesforce CRM
Native Microsoft Integration
Built-in integration with Office 365 apps (Outlook, Excel, Word) and Teams. D365 records can be shared/viewed in Teams chats with file co-authoring. Leverages Azure services and LinkedIn (via Relationship Sales bundle).
Advantage: D365
Integrations available via add-ons or connectors (e.g. Office/Google integration). Lacks a native Teams or Office-era "app" – typically requires third-party tools.
Customization & Extensibility
Low-code Power Platform (Power Apps, Automate, Virtual Agents) plus Azure extensibility. Common Data Service (Dataverse) underlies all D365 apps. Team Member license grants limited access at ~10% cost of full license.
Advantage: D365
Salesforce Lightning platform (Apex code, Lightning Web Components, Flows). Large AppExchange marketplace for add-ons. User licenses mostly "full" or "light/Chatter". No direct tenant-wide license option; pay per-user.
AI & Copilot (Sales)
Dynamics 365 Sales Copilot: AI-driven email drafting, meeting summaries, opportunity insights. Embedded Sales Copilot works inside Outlook/Teams. Also includes predictive scoring.
Advantage: D365
Einstein AI (scores, forecasts, recommendations); Einstein GPT generative add-on (extra cost). Salesforce integrated AI is more limited out-of-box (mostly analytics, not full copilot).
AI & Copilot (Service)
Customer Service Copilot: drafts contextual responses, suggests knowledge-base articles, and auto-creates cases from transcripts. Azure OpenAI powers chatbots (Power Virtual Agents) for virtual support.
Advantage: D365
Einstein Bots and AI-powered suggestions (predefined use cases). Salesforce now offers Einstein GPT for Service (separate license). Generally requires more configuration to achieve similar automation.
AI & Copilot (Marketing)
Dynamics 365 Marketing: Generative copy for emails/campaigns, AI-powered customer journey suggestions, and natural-language segmentation via Customer Insights. Included in Marketing app.
Advantage: D365
Pardot/Marketing Cloud: AI features (Einstein Engagement Scoring, segment recommendation) mostly in higher editions. Generative AI (content creation) only via Einstein GPT add-ons (extra cost).
User Experience (UI/UX)
Unified Interface consistent with Microsoft apps. Familiar layout for Office users; rich in-grid editing and dashboards. Native mobile app with offline sync.
Advantage: D365
Lightning UI is modern but distinct; mobile app available. Customizable home pages and path guidance for processes.
Sales Licensing (per user/mo)
Sales Professional: $65 Sales Enterprise: $105 Sales Premium: $150 (includes advanced AI analytics)
Advantage: D365
Sales Professional: ~$75 Sales Enterprise: $165 Unlimited/Pro Suite+: $330 (Einstein AI starts at ~$500)
Service Licensing (per user/mo)
Service Professional: $50 Service Enterprise: $105 Service Premium: $195 (includes omnichannel contact center)
Advantage: D365
Service Professional: $100 Service Enterprise: $165 Unlimited: $330
Marketing Licensing
Dynamics 365 Marketing licensed per tenant (approx. $1,500/mo plus contacts). Includes email, events, web pages, journeys with AI.
Advantage: D365
Salesforce Marketing Cloud (or Pardot) is licensed separately by edition or by contact volume. Tends to be expensive; exact pricing typically requires negotiation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our Salesforce to Dynamics 365 migration solution.

The migration timeline varies based on the complexity of your Salesforce implementation and the volume of data. A standard migration typically takes 8-12 weeks, including discovery, planning, data migration, testing, and deployment phases.

No, our migration process is designed to ensure complete data integrity. We perform extensive validation checks to ensure all your Salesforce data is correctly migrated to Dynamics 365. We also maintain your historical data and relationships between records.

Dynamics 365's AI capabilities can automate many tasks that previously required human intervention. This includes data entry (70% reduction), customer support (60% of routine inquiries), sales administration (40% reduction), and reporting/analytics. Our clients typically see a 30-50% reduction in CRM administrative staff after implementing these AI capabilities.

Dynamics 365 includes Microsoft Copilot integration across Sales, Service, and Marketing. Sales Copilot provides AI-generated email drafts, meeting summaries, and opportunity insights directly in Outlook and Teams. Customer Service Copilot drafts contextual responses and suggests knowledge articles. Marketing Copilot generates content and provides AI-powered customer journey suggestions. While Salesforce offers Einstein AI, Dynamics 365's integration with Microsoft's AI ecosystem provides more comprehensive capabilities at a lower cost, without requiring expensive add-ons.

Organizations typically save 30-40% on licensing costs when migrating from Salesforce to Dynamics 365. For example, Dynamics 365 Sales Enterprise costs about $105 vs. Salesforce Sales Cloud Enterprise at $165 (36% lower). When combined with workforce reduction through AI automation (potentially 30-50% of CRM administrative staff), the ROI becomes even more compelling, often paying for the migration within 12-18 months.

Security is our top priority. All data transfers are encrypted using industry-standard protocols. We use secure authentication methods, respect your existing security models, and never store your sensitive data. Our solution complies with major security standards including SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA.

Our migration solution fully supports custom objects and fields from Salesforce. We analyze your custom schema and map it to appropriate entities in Dynamics 365, either using standard entities with customizations or creating new custom entities as needed.

We use a phased migration approach designed to minimize disruption to your business operations. We can implement a parallel run period where both systems operate simultaneously until the migration is complete and validated, ensuring a smooth transition.

Dynamics 365 is natively integrated with the entire Microsoft ecosystem. Users can view and edit CRM data directly in Outlook, Excel, Word, and SharePoint without extra connectors. D365 and Teams are tightly coupled, allowing anyone to view and collaborate on CRM records from within Teams chats or channels. Because Microsoft owns LinkedIn, D365 has built-in LinkedIn Sales Navigator support. This seamless integration increases productivity and eliminates the need for third-party connectors that Salesforce requires.

Dynamics 365 offers more flexible licensing options than Salesforce. D365 has module-based licensing so you can license only the CRM components you need. It also offers Team Member licenses for light users at approximately 10% the cost of a full license, ideal for executives or occasional users. For organizations already using Microsoft 365 or Azure, combining D365 can simplify procurement and sometimes provide volume discounts. This flexibility typically results in 30-40% lower licensing costs compared to equivalent Salesforce editions.

Yes, comprehensive training is a key part of our migration service. We provide role-based training for your team to ensure they can effectively use Dynamics 365 and leverage its AI capabilities. This includes training on Copilot, virtual agents, and automation tools to maximize workforce efficiency.

After a successful migration and transition period, you can reduce or eliminate your Salesforce licenses, potentially resulting in significant cost savings. We'll help you plan this transition to ensure you maintain access to historical data as needed.
