Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Sales Infinite to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales requires mapping a unified Contact and Account model against a platform that separates Leads from Contacts and ties both to Account records. Sales Infinite stores pipeline stages as configurable labels that must map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Process stage values; we capture the full stage set during discovery and configure matching Record Types before any Opportunity data moves. Activities (emails, calls, meetings, tasks) are reconstructed in Dynamics 365 through the Dataverse API with WhoId and WhatId lookups resolved at migration time. We do not migrate Workflows, automations, or sequences as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active automation for the customer's admin to rebuild in Power Automate or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales based workflows post-migration. Custom fields require schema discovery before mapping because Sales Infinite allows non-standard field types that must translate to typed Dataverse columns.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Sales Infinite

What's pushing teams away

  • Smaller reviewer footprint — G2/Capterra/SoftwareWorld pages exist but with limited content depth.
  • Single-tier published price hides feature-by-tier differences customers expect from larger platforms.
  • Niche fit for SMBs — enterprise buyers typically need richer admin, multi-region, and compliance controls.
  • Limited public API documentation surfaced on the vendor site.
  • Dynamic pricing engine breadth means setup can be heavier than light-weight CRMs.

Choosing

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales  logo

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

What's pulling them in

  • Deep Microsoft 365, Teams, and Outlook integration makes Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales a natural fit for Microsoft-first organizations already invested in that ecosystem
  • Sales Enterprise and Premium tiers offer unlimited custom tables and advanced AI-driven forecasting and predictive analytics not available in lower tiers
  • Professional tier pricing at $65 per user per month offers a lower entry cost than Salesforce for SMB teams with straightforward CRM needs
  • Flexible customization options allow businesses to build bespoke apps, tailor forms and views, and integrate with other Dynamics 365 modules
  • Microsoft Copilot AI tools are embedded directly into the sales workflow on Enterprise and Premium, automating routine tasks and providing deal intelligence

Object mapping

How Sales Infinite objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Each row shows how a Sales Infinite object lands in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales , including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Sales Infinite

Contact

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Lead or Contact (split based on qualification)

1:many
Fully supported

Sales Infinite Contacts may include both unqualified prospects and active customers with a status or lifecycle property distinguishing the two. We apply a qualification split rule during scoping: records meeting the customer's buyer-ready criteria map to Salesforce Contact attached to an Account; others map to Lead. The original Sales Infinite status property is preserved in a custom field si_original_status__c on both Lead and Contact for audit and reporting continuity.

Sales Infinite

Account

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Sales Infinite Account records map directly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Account. Industry, annual revenue, type, and address fields translate 1:1. We flag any Account records that lack an associated Contact, as these orphan Accounts require a decision on whether to attach a placeholder Contact or archive the Account record before migration.

Sales Infinite

Opportunity

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Sales Infinite Opportunities map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunity with Amount, CloseDate, and Stage preserved. The pipeline stage label set from Sales Infinite is mapped to a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Process (or multiple Record Types if multiple pipelines exist). We configure the stage probability map during discovery and deploy via Dataverse before Opportunity records are loaded.

Sales Infinite

Pipeline Stage

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Sales Process + Stage

lossy
Fully supported

Each Sales Infinite pipeline with its associated stage labels, probabilities, and ordering translates to a Dynamics 365 Record Type and corresponding Sales Process. Stage values are created in Dataverse with matching probability percentages, and the Record Type is assigned to the Opportunity at migration time. If Sales Infinite stages cannot be mapped 1:1, we flag the gap and document the closest Dynamics 365 equivalent.

Sales Infinite

Activity (email, call, meeting, task)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Task, Event, EmailMessage

1:many
Fully supported

Sales Infinite Activities are decomposed by type: email engagements map to Dynamics 365 EmailMessage records (the content) linked to a Task record (the timeline entry); call engagements map to Task with TaskSubtype=Call; meeting engagements map to Event with start and end time preserved; standalone tasks map to Task. We resolve WhoId (Contact or Lead) and WhatId (Opportunity or Account) using a pre-built lookup table generated during the Contact and Opportunity migration phases.

Sales Infinite

Note

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Sales Infinite Notes migrate to Dynamics 365 Note records linked via ContentDocumentLink to the parent Account, Contact, or Opportunity. Rich text formatting is preserved where the destination field supports it. File attachments associated with Notes are downloaded individually from Sales Infinite and re-uploaded to the corresponding Dynamics 365 record's SharePoint document location.

Sales Infinite

Custom Field

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Field

lossy
Fully supported

Custom fields on any standard object (Contact, Account, Opportunity) require schema discovery before mapping. Sales Infinite allows property types that may not map directly to Dataverse column types: multi-select picklists translate to Dataverse choice columns; number fields with formatting translate to decimal or currency columns; formula fields are flagged as non-migratable because they compute at runtime. We pre-create all destination custom fields in a Dataverse sandbox before production migration.

Sales Infinite

Owner

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

User

1:1
Fully supported

Sales Infinite Owners are resolved by email match against the Dynamics 365 destination User table. Any Owner record without a matching User in the destination is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. OwnerId is required on Opportunity and Contact records; unresolved owners block those record types from loading.

Sales Infinite

Lead (if available)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Lead

1:1
Fully supported

If the Sales Infinite subscription tier includes a separate Lead object, those records migrate directly to Dynamics 365 Lead. Lead source, status, and any scoring fields map to corresponding Dynamics 365 fields. If Sales Infinite does not have a separate Lead object and all prospects live as Contacts, we apply the qualification split rule documented in the Contact mapping entry.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Pipeline stage labels require manual configuration in Dynamics 365

    Sales Infinite stores pipeline stages as configurable label properties per deal. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales stores stage values as metadata tied to Sales Processes and Record Types, which must be created in the Dataverse environment before Opportunity data loads. If the stage label set does not map cleanly to Dynamics 365 stage values, Opportunities may import with incorrect or blank stages. We capture the full stage label matrix during discovery and configure matching Record Types and Sales Processes before any Opportunity records move. The customer's admin validates the stage mapping during UAT before production cutover.

  • Workflows and automations do not migrate to Dynamics 365

    Sales Infinite Workflows and any embedded automation logic are not transferable to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales or Power Automate because they use different trigger models, action types, and condition builders. We do not migrate automation as code. We deliver a written inventory of every active Sales Infinite Workflow with its trigger conditions, actions, and a recommended Power Automate or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales workflow equivalent. The customer's admin rebuilds the automations post-migration. Sequences and sales engagement cadences similarly do not migrate; we document the cadence structure for rebuild in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales sequences or a third-party sales engagement tool.

  • Activity history requires Dataverse API chunking for large volumes

    Sales Infinite engagement records (emails, calls, meetings, tasks) can number in the hundreds of thousands for active sales teams. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales uses Dataverse as its underlying data platform, which enforces API throttling and batch size limits. We chunk large activity sets into paginated export batches from Sales Infinite and load them through the Dataverse API with exponential backoff on rate-limit responses. Parent-record lookups (WhoId, WhatId) are resolved from the pre-built lookup table before each batch is submitted. Without chunking and lookup resolution, large activity migrations either time out or create orphaned timeline entries.

  • Custom field type differences can cause import rejections

    Sales Infinite allows flexible custom field definitions that may not map directly to typed Dataverse columns. Multi-checkbox properties must become Dataverse multi-select choice columns; date-only fields must be separated from datetime fields; formula fields do not migrate because they compute at runtime in the destination. We validate custom field types during discovery and either pre-transform values (e.g., join multi-checkbox values into a delimited string for a text column) or flag the field as requiring a Dynamics 365-equivalent custom field type to be created before migration.

  • Owner reconciliation must complete before Opportunity and Contact loads

    Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales requires an OwnerId on most standard objects. If a Sales Infinite Owner does not have a corresponding User in the destination org, the record import fails for that record type. We extract all distinct Owner references from Sales Infinite at the start of migration, match by email against the destination User table, and hold unresolved owners in a reconciliation queue. The customer's Dynamics 365 admin provisions missing Users before we resume Opportunity and Contact loads. This step cannot be skipped regardless of migration timeline pressure.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Sales Infinite to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales data migration

  1. Discovery and schema mapping

    We audit the Sales Infinite environment for object inventory, custom field definitions, pipeline and stage label sets, Owner population, and engagement record volume by type. We pair this with a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales environment audit to identify existing Record Types, Sales Processes, and custom fields. The discovery output is a written migration scope including the Contact-Lead qualification split rule, pipeline-to-Sales-Process mapping, and a custom field translation matrix for any non-standard Sales Infinite property types.

  2. Sandbox schema deployment and validation

    We deploy the destination schema (custom fields, Record Types, Sales Processes, choice values for picklists) into a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Sandbox environment using the Dataverse API. The customer's Dynamics 365 admin validates the schema and stage mapping in the sandbox, and we run a trial migration of a representative record subset (typically 500-1,000 records per object) to validate mapping correctness and identify any field-level rejections before production migration.

  3. Owner reconciliation and User provisioning

    We extract every distinct Owner email from Sales Infinite across Contact, Account, and Opportunity records and match against the destination Dynamics 365 User table. Owners without a matching User are listed in a reconciliation report. The customer's admin provisions any missing Users (active or inactive depending on whether the original Sales Infinite user is still active). Migration cannot proceed to Opportunity and Contact loads until Owner reconciliation is complete because OwnerId is a required field.

  4. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (first, as the parent of Contacts and Opportunities), Contacts and Leads (with the qualification split applied), Opportunities (with RecordTypeId and SalesProcessId resolved, and OwnerId from the User lookup), Activity history (Tasks, Events, EmailMessages via Dataverse API with batch chunking), Notes with attachments. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. The final delta migration captures any records modified during the cutover window.

  5. Cutover, validation, and automation inventory handoff

    We freeze Sales Infinite writes during cutover, execute the final delta migration, and enable Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow and automation inventory document to the customer's admin team along with a field-by-field mapping reference. We support a three-day hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the sales team. We do not rebuild Sales Infinite Workflows or sequences as Power Automate flows or Dynamics 365 workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
