Usable relationship history
Preserve the notes, activities, correspondence references, and context users need to continue serving customers.
A controlled transition
The database is only one part of the migration.
Long-running GoldMine environments contain more than names and phone numbers. They hold relationship history, notes, activities, custom fields, user conventions, integrations, reports, and business rules that employees may rely on without formal documentation. A generic export can lose the context that makes the information useful.
Naper Solutions begins by inventorying the current environment and clarifying what the future CRM must support. We profile the data, identify customizations and dependencies, distinguish valuable history from clutter, and map both records and operating workflows to the destination.
We can support migrations to HubSpot, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Pipedrive, Zoho, other commercial platforms, or a custom business application. If moving now is not the right decision, we can also help stabilize, integrate, and support an existing GoldMine installation.
Migration priorities
Retain what matters and simplify what does not.
A strong migration improves trust in the new system instead of carrying every historical problem forward.
Cleaner records
Profile duplicates, inconsistent values, obsolete fields, and incomplete ownership before loading the destination.
Mapped business rules
Translate custom fields, codes, user practices, integrations, and reports into deliberate destination choices.
A supported transition
Rehearse the cutover, validate with users, document differences, and provide help as the new workflow becomes routine.
Scope
Assessment through cutover—or continued GoldMine support.
The first deliverable is clarity: what exists, what must move, what should change, and how to reduce operational risk.
Migration planning and execution
A repeatable migration process that treats data, workflows, people, and connected systems as one transition.
- Environment, customization, integration, and data inventory
- Destination evaluation and field mapping
- Cleanup, transformation, rehearsal, and validation
- Cutover planning, user verification, and post-launch support
GoldMine stabilization and integration
Practical help for organizations that need more time or must keep GoldMine operating alongside newer systems.
- Application and database troubleshooting
- Data cleanup, reporting, and export support
- Accounting, email, document, and custom integration
- Modernization roadmap and transition preparation
How we work
Rehearse the migration before the business depends on it.
The plan becomes credible when representative data and users have validated the destination before cutover weekend.
Assess
Inventory GoldMine versions, users, data, custom fields, history, integrations, reports, and operating concerns.
Map and clean
Define the destination model, ownership, field transformations, duplicate rules, and history strategy.
Rehearse and validate
Run test migrations, compare counts and samples, test workflows, and collect feedback from representative users.
Cut over and support
Freeze changes, run the verified process, reconcile results, guide users, and address post-launch issues.

Common questions
GoldMine migration questions.
Can GoldMine notes and history be migrated?
Often, yes. The exact approach depends on the GoldMine version, how history is stored, the destination platform, and how users need to search or display it. We inventory and sample the data before committing to a mapping strategy.
What happens to our custom fields and codes?
We document the current fields, usage, values, dependencies, and business meaning. Each item is then mapped, transformed, consolidated, archived, or retired deliberately rather than copied automatically.
How do we choose a replacement CRM?
We compare the workflows, users, reporting, integrations, governance, configuration limits, total ownership cost, and future roadmap. The right destination is the one your team can operate well, not simply the product with the longest feature list.
How long does a GoldMine migration take?
Timing depends on data volume and quality, customizations, integrations, destination configuration, user availability, and the history that must be preserved. An assessment produces a staged estimate and identifies the work required before cutover.
Can you support GoldMine if we are not ready to migrate?
Yes. We can help troubleshoot, clean data, improve reporting, create integrations, plan infrastructure changes, and prepare a gradual modernization roadmap while the existing environment remains in use.
