Hi All, This weekend I will be migrating from BCM to CRM 3.0 (on SBS 2003) and was hoping to get a heads up on the following: 1) clarify a "Known Issues with the Data Migration Wizard for Microsoft Outlook with Business Contact Manager" point that sticks out in the documentation and in my long hours of reading online namely: "The link between activities and parent accounts and contacts is not preserved during migration. If you have accounts or contacts in Microsoft Outlook with Business Contact Manager that have activities, such as tasks or appointments, associated with them, when you migrate the data to Microsoft CRM, the activities are not associated with the accounts or contacts. These activities will be migrated, but the Regarding field will be blank. " surely this is a fundamental flaw here that anyone that has used BCM will have history attached to each - we don't have a large amount of accounts - several hundred - but they each have 40-100+ items of history so to go through and manually manipulate these unassociated items/contacts will be a nightmare! how does one get around this using the migration tool (given I am just a small operation so can't afford an expensive 3rd party tool)? 2) also in addition to the above any other gotchyas to be aware of using the "Data Migration Wizard for Office Outlook with BCM" tool? thanks in advance! Nick

1.BCM to CRM Data Migration Wizard
Hi everyone, I have read a lot about this wizard that assists in the migration of data from Outlook with BCM to CRM 3.0 (Small Business Edition). I have successfully installed CRM but for the life of me, I cannot find the Migration Wizard. Please can someone point me in the right direction... I am going in circles here!! Thanks Rael
2.Migration of BCM data to CRM 3.0 Professional
Hi, looking at the differences b/w the professional and SBS edition of CRM 3.0, I found that the profession edition is lacking a feature we need to get started, i.e. the BCM data migration wizard. This is vital to rapid production use of CRM 3.0 due to our large customer history base in BCM. OTOH, installing the SBS edition is not an option, since we are not running any SBS server, but rather an outgrown Windows Server 2003 infrastructure. Questions: 1. Is the BCM migration wizard available (technically) in the professional version of CRM 3.0? 2. If the answer to question 1 is yes, are we (license) allowed to use it? 3. If the answer to question 1 is no, how can I migrate our BCM data to CRM 3.0? Thanks for any pointers, Markus Ruppel XXXX@XXXXX.COM
3.Data Migration Manager apparently does not have correct Mappings for BCM 2007 Data
I have been trying unsuccessfully for quite some time to migrate BCM 2007 data to CRM 4.0 via the Data Migration Manager using the existing mapping for BCM 2007. However, once I am in there, I have to re-map all data, and even after that, I am unable to successfully import the data. Has anyone had the same issue, and if so, is there a different mapping I should be using? Thanks.

5.BCM to CRM 4.0 data migration
Hi there, Has anyone done BCM to CRM 4.0 conversion? Is there a tool exists to transfer data from BCM to CRM 4.0 like it has for CRM 3.0? Could you bring the Activity across to CRM 4.0? The problem with BCM to CRM 3.0 conversion was that it will bring the activity across but it would not link them back to correct accounts or contacts records in CRM. Please let me know if anyone here has done the conversion from BCM to CRM 4.0, the tool that you used and the challenges that you faced. thanks Kyaw
