10 decisions you will face with any donor data migration project
DESCRIPTION
Donor data migration to a new CRM can be downright frustrating for some nonprofits. Planning is critical. More importantly, however, you need to prepare for the inevitable decisions you will have to make during the process. In this webinar, we will examine 10 decisions for which every nonprofit needs to be prepared in order to experience a successful transition to a new CRM. Learning Objectives: Understand the CRM data migration process. Identify the key decisions that will be made along the way. Discuss pros and cons of decision options. Take away from the event a sense of preparedness and control over your next data migration project.

Let’s get started

10 Decisions you will face in any donor data migration
5
No decision is still a decision
Highly degradable … just like people’s
lives
As in “unavoidable”
There is always risk when you
move something
![Page 6: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Data confounds us … why?
“It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.” • Sherlock Holmes !“Data is the new oil.” • Attributed to many people !!
“Data is not the new oil, but instead a new kind of resource entirely.” • Jer Thorp, in a Harvard Business Review article
6
Confound, kon-FOUND, (verb), to perplex or amaze - to through into confusion
![Page 7: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Here’s the heart of the problem …
“Personally, the NSA collecting data on me freaks me out. And I’m from the generation that wants to put a GPS in their kids so I always know where they are.” • Joss Whedon, screenwriter, director !!
We are feeling overwhelmed … !Big data = big confusion … !What data do we need … and what can we ignore?

Answering this question …
!“What donor data do we need …
and what can we ignore?” !! ... sums up the purpose of today’s webinar.

Let’s set some ground rules
10
“Never tear down a bridge before you know why it was built. It may be your only means of retreat.”
- Winning general - Smart technologist
![Page 11: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Our data migration ground rules
1. Your donor relationships depend on data – all of them. Therefore you need your donor data to be as “complete” as possible. !
2. “Complete” = what you will actually use. !
3. Your shiny new CRM represents your fundraising future, NOT your past. !
4. Not making a decision is still making a decision. !
5. All data migrations start with an understanding of the process, and they require a plan.

Creating a plan
Actually, your data experts will build the plan !You want to plan ahead and be prepared … and ask better questions.
!Start with a checklist
!Here’s one from the Third Sector website. http://3rdsectorlabs.com/resources/data-migration-checklist/
![Page 18: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Checklists
![Page 19: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
10 unavoidable decisions
19
![Page 20: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
#1 Do we need data governance policies? (by the way, what is “data governance?”)
20
![Page 21: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Data governance
What’s that?
![Page 22: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Correct answer
“Yes!” !
Why? !Without policies and standards, you won’t be able to make the necessary decisions to complete your data migration. !There will be too many unanswered questions.
22
![Page 23: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Examples
1. Purpose – For what purposes do we store donor / constituent data? – What defines a “complete” donor record?
2. Processes – What are our processes for data gathering / input? – How frequently (and on what schedule) will we clean / update / enrich our
donor data? 3. Storage
– How long do we store old records? – When does a prospect stop being a prospect and just become ‘bad data’? – How many instances of an address or phone # or email do we store?
4. Security – What are our data security standards?
5. Other … compliance? Systems integration?
23
![Page 24: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
#2 How many years of donor data do we migrate?
24
![Page 25: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Wrong answer
The data hoarder in us all says:
! “Bring it all!”
25
![Page 26: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Correct answer
(Answering a question with a question) !When was the last time you logged into your CRM and studied donors or gifts older than 3 years?
“Start with 3 years” !Justify anything else with specific use cases … not fear of losing data !Archive the rest
26
![Page 27: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
#3 What about lapsed donors – do import them too?
27
![Page 28: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Hint
• This is a communications / fundraising problem. • NOT a data problem
28
????
![Page 29: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Correct answer: “It depends”
Option A: “Segment your lapsed donors upon import.” • For newer, retention-based
CRMS like Bloomerang
Why? You need a separate outreach strategy for lapsed donors: - 2 or 3 communications - New messaging,
targeted - Anyone responding goes
into the new CRM - Purge non-respondents
29
![Page 30: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Correct answer: “It depends”
Option B: “Do not import lapsed donors.” • If you can use your old system • To manage the targeted
outreach campaign mentioned on the previous slide
Why? The majority of your lapsed donors are probably lost - Don’t muck up your new
CRM engine with a bunch of gunk
- Only bring over the lapsed donors that you re-engage
30
![Page 31: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
#4 What about data that we can’t / don’t import?
31
![Page 32: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Wrong answer
• “Keep trying … there’s got to be a way to get it all in there.” !
• “But it all fits in the old system!”
32
![Page 33: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Correct answer
Why? • Legacy data may be poorly
formatted • Corrupt • Doesn’t fit new CRM data
structure • Doesn’t fit with new data
governance policies • You want to be able to get
to it later … if you need it
33
• No, not in an actual file cabinet …
• Microsoft Excel, Access … something simple
“Archive it.” !
![Page 34: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
#5We have a couple of ad hoc text fields with lots of notes – what do we do about them?
34
![Page 35: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Wrong answer
“We need text fields in our new CRM database.” !“You never know when we may need the flexibility.”

Correct answer
“Save it, and parse it …
later”
Why? • Don’t let a parsing project
interfere with a data migration … it will slow you down.
• The text data needs analysis.
• The parsing potential needs to be assessed against your CRM database.
36
![Page 37: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What is parsing?
1. Analyze fields 2. Look for opportunities to
break data into multiple fields
3. Export to suitable tool … (Excel often works)
4. Separate the data in a new file
5. Map the new fields to the database
6. Re-import data in the new file format

Ground rule reminder: !
“Complete” = what you will use

#6When should our data be cleaned, before or after the data migration?

Correct answer: “It depends”
Rule of thumb: “Before migration.”
Why? Only bring over clean data: - Apply data governance - Normalize - De-dupe - Purge !Post import: - Append - Parse
41
![Page 42: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Correct answer: “It depends”
Exception to the rule: “After migration.”
Why? • If the plan calls for it !• If too many records are
co-mingled in a larger database … uncertainty about record ownership
!• If there is migration
urgency
42
![Page 43: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
#7We are three months into our data migration project and we just figured out that some data fields won’t translate to the new CRM. What do we do now?
43
![Page 44: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
We feel this way, but …
44
![Page 45: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
This is not uncommon
1. This usually occurs after analysis, data mapping, CRM configuration and initial testing is underway.
2. Then … Ah-ha!! 3. Some fields in the new CRM are not interpreting data
the way you expected . 4. How do you know?
– Reports look wrong – Data seems missing – Donor profiles appear incomplete
45
![Page 46: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
What to do
1. Stop the imports 2. Identify data gaps and mistakes 3. Re-map
– This can be tedious
4. Re-configure the new CRM database – Do you need new or custom fields?
5. Create new test files – Does the problem lie with the test file itself?
6. Then re-run your test imports
46
![Page 47: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
But be open minded
!• If you can’t figure out a way for the new CRM to
accommodate the old data, you probably don’t need it … and you were trying to hold onto it for the wrong reasons.
47
Ground rule reminder: !
The new CRM represents your future, not your past!
• Is the real issue that the old database is suffering from bad data management practices that the new CRM won’t tolerate?
![Page 48: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
#8We can’t agree on what data to keep and what to purge. Can’t we just bring it all over to the new CRM and decide later?
48
![Page 49: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Correct answer
“No!” !
Why? • You are stuck on one or
more data governance policies that you don’t want to follow. !
• Work through the problem. !
• Remember: archiving data is your piece of mind.
49
Ground rule reminder: !
No decision IS a decision
![Page 50: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
#9Once the migration is completed – and our data is rock solid – who should be responsible for maintaining data quality?
50
![Page 51: 10 Decisions You Will Face With Any Donor Data Migration Project](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b66d854a795988358b4605/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Potential answers
1. Tech team or dba (database administrator)
2. Marketing / communications 3. Fundraising 4. Consultant

Correct answer
!
“Any of them”
Why? • All are good choices • Depends on your org
structure !
What is necessary: 1. Accountability 2. Budget 3. Manage data quality on
its own schedule
52

Data DEGRADES!Cause #1: your organization
– Lack of data entry standards – Unskilled data entry workers – Common mistakes – Record fragmentation
Cause #2: the technology – Multiple, disparate systems – System upgrades – Integration, processing errors – Sheer volume of data
Cause #3: those darned donors … life! – Change in address … every 5 to 7 years – Change in jobs … 9 to 11 jobs in a lifetime – Family / life event … divorce rate, birth of children, death … what else?
This guy is not the problem

At the risk of sounding self-serving …
“Probably” !
(unless you have in-house staffing with time on their hands)
Why? !
• You need one or more resources who can: – Extract legacy data – Clean, normalize and purge – Create import files for the
new CRM – Create post-migration
archives
