Education Use Case

Org merges are difficult in the best of times. Our customer, a large educational company, had an organically grown in-use Org which means the admin team has to keep a constant eye on changes in the source Org while continually moving changes till the freeze date. There is a need to migrate both metadata and data as part of the Org merge.

Challenges

Our customers Org merged involved moving metadata and data across production Org boundaries that invalidate traditional Salesforce toolkits.

Additionally, this necessitates the need for a tool that allows intermingling data and metadata to allow the migration team maximum flexibility with accomplishing this complex migration.

Given that the Org continued to be in use while this merge.

The typical spreadsheet solution was “too little, too late” to meet the needs of the team.

Solution

Metazoa Snapshot offered a solution that combines both metadata and data migration capabilities.

This meant the admin team could rapidly switch between Org configuration and data records that utilized this configuration to build up their merge solution instead of utilizing a waterfall model.

Snapshot offered a flexible, scalable security editing feature set that the team is utilizing to transform and merge configuration to fit into the destination Org’s processes and security setup.

Snapshot’s optimization feature sets also offered an opportunity to leave behind a certain set of metadata and thus data records, that were no longer being utilized without jeopardizing the entire project.
