Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from solve 360 to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a step up from a flat-rate small-team CRM to an enterprise-tier sales platform with native integration into the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Solve 360 holds records in a single unified entity model where people, companies, and work are views of one object; Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales separates Contacts from Accounts from Opportunities. We resolve that structural difference during scoping, map solve 360's relationship links to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales lookup relationships, and preserve task, follow-up, and support request histories as activity and case records. The solve 360 minimum-billing-floor of 4 users and its limited custom field surface mean teams with more than a handful of agents and complex data models are the primary migration candidates. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales pricing starts at $210 per user per month for the Professional tier, which is 8.4 times the per-seat cost of solve 360; we document that delta explicitly so customers understand their subscription cost trajectory before committing.

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

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

What's pushing teams away

  • The feature set lags behind HubSpot, Zoho, and Salesforce as teams scale, prompting upgrades to platforms with broader ecosystem integrations and app marketplaces.
  • Mobile apps are limited to web-responsive or basic native wrappers; users expecting a full-featured native mobile experience outgrow the offering and move to better-supported alternatives.
  • Only 17 verified G2 reviews indicate a small and potentially declining user base, which raises concerns about long-term product investment and support responsiveness.
  • Custom field limits and a comparatively basic API mean growing teams with complex data models eventually migrate to CRMs with more flexible schema design.

Choosing

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 solve 360 objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Each row shows how a solve 360 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.

solve 360

Contact

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

solve 360 Contacts map directly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Contacts. Standard fields (full name, email, phone, address) transfer via the resolve-owner lookup workflow. User-defined custom fields on Contacts migrate to equivalent Dataverse columns with matching data types (text to string, number to integer or decimal, date to datetime). We create the destination field schema before import using the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales or Power Platform admin center.

solve 360

Company

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

solve 360 Companies map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Accounts. Company name maps to Account Name; domain maps to Website. Parent-child company relationships in solve 360 become Parent Account lookup relationships in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales . Account is created before Contact import so that the AccountId lookup on Contact is satisfied at insert time, preventing orphaned Contact records.

solve 360

Task

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Task

1:1
Fully supported

solve 360 Tasks map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Tasks. Status, Priority, Due Date, Description, and time tracking fields transfer. HubSpot owner assignment in solve 360 resolves to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales User by email match; any task with an unresolved owner is placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision the missing User record before migration continues.

solve 360

Follow-up

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Task

1:1
Fully supported

solve 360 Follow-ups are time-stamped activity records tied to Contacts or Companies. We map them to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Task with the Activity Type set to Follow-up (via a custom field or Task Category) and the original solve 360 timestamp preserved as Activity Date. Follow-up text migrates as the Task Description.

solve 360

Support Request

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Case

1:1
Fully supported

solve 360 Support Requests map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Case (or Dynamics 365 Customer Service Case if the Sales Professional license does not bundle Service). Request status, priority, description, and full conversation thread transfer as Case Description and EmailMessages linked to the Case. If the destination org does not include the Customer Service module, we map to a custom Case entity in Dataverse and flag the licensing gap during scoping.

solve 360

User

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

User

1:1
Fully supported

solve 360 Users are both system actors and assignment targets on Tasks, Follow-ups, and Support Requests. We export the solve 360 user list and match by email address against the destination Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales User table. Any solve 360 user without a matching Dynamics 365 User is flagged in a reconciliation report; the customer's admin provisions the missing User before record import resumes.

solve 360

Pipeline Stage

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Opportunity Stage + Sales Process

lossy
Fully supported

solve 360 pipelines and their stages (with probability percentages and ordering) are exported and reconstructed in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales as Sales Processes with corresponding stage values on the Opportunity object. If solve 360 has multiple pipelines, we create multiple Sales Processes and map each to an Opportunity Record Type. Probability values migrate as Stage Probability rounded to the nearest integer.

solve 360

Tag

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Text field on Contact/Account

lossy
Fully supported

solve 360 Tags are exported as a comma-separated list and mapped to a custom text field on Contact and Account in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales . If the customer has a small, fixed tag vocabulary, we can alternatively create a multi-select picklist. Tag associations per record transfer as field values; no separate tag taxonomy object is created unless the customer requests it during scoping.

solve 360

Attachment

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

SharePoint document location or Note attachment

1:1
Fully supported

Attachments stored on solve 360 Contacts, Companies, Tasks, and Support Requests are downloaded as files and re-uploaded to the destination. If the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales org uses SharePoint integration (common for Microsoft 365 environments), we upload files to the relevant SharePoint document library and create DocumentLocation records in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales linked to the parent Contact, Account, or Case. Without SharePoint, attachments migrate as Note attachments.

Pair-specific challenges

  • solve 360 has no self-serve bulk export

    solve 360 does not expose a documented bulk-export endpoint in its public developer portal. We read data via the REST API using the customer's credentials. For accounts with large record volumes, we may request assisted export from Solve CRM's client engineering team, which can add three to five business days to the project timeline. We scope this risk during discovery and flag it before migration begins so that the customer can plan for the additional lead time.

  • Support Requests require Customer Service licensing in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

    solve 360 includes Support Requests as a first-class object in all tiers. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Professional does not include the Case management module by default; it requires Dynamics 365 Customer Service or Sales Hub premium. We identify during scoping whether the destination license covers Case and either map Support Requests to a custom Case entity or advise the customer to add the Service module before migration. Skipping this check results in migrated support request history landing in an unmapped holding table.

  • solve 360 relationship links must be reconstructed as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales lookups

    solve 360's single-record model links people and companies through a relationship attribute rather than a parent-child object hierarchy. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales uses explicit AccountId lookups on Contact and OpportunityContactRole lookups on Opportunity. We must denormalize solve 360's relationship data into these explicit lookup fields during the transform phase. Any contact without a resolved company link is flagged as unlinked and held for admin review before the AccountId insert.

  • Workflow automations and task sequences are not portable between platforms

    Workflow definitions in solve 360 encode logic specific to its automation engine and cannot be directly replayed in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales or Power Automate. We export workflow configurations as structured JSON metadata and deliver a written workflow inventory with a recommended Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent for each automation type. The customer's admin or a Microsoft partner rebuilds the automations post-migration; that work is outside standard migration scope.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful solve 360 to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales data migration

  1. Discovery and licensing check

    We audit the solve 360 account across all active users, record types, custom field definitions, pipeline structures, tag vocabulary, and attachment volume. We simultaneously confirm the destination Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales license tier (Sales Professional at $210 per user or Sales Enterprise at $430 per user) and identify whether the Customer Service module is present for support request migration. The discovery output is a written migration scope document including a record-count estimate, any licensing gaps to resolve, and the target completion date.

  2. Owner reconciliation and user provisioning

    We extract every distinct solve 360 user referenced as an owner or assignee on any record and match by email against the destination Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales User table. Users without a matching Dynamics 365 User are listed in a reconciliation report. The customer's admin provisions the missing Users in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales before the migration window opens. Migration cannot safely proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on most standard object inserts.

  3. Schema pre-creation in the destination environment

    We create any missing custom fields, lookup relationships, option set values, and Sales Process configurations in the destination Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales org before any data import begins. This includes mapping solve 360 custom field types to their closest Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales equivalents, pre-populating picklist values, and configuring Sales Processes that match the source pipeline stages and probabilities.

  4. Sandbox migration and record reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Sandbox using production-equivalent data volume. The customer's administrator spot-checks 25 to 50 records against the solve 360 source, verifies field-level accuracy, and signs off the mapping. Any corrections to field mapping, object mapping, or data type handling happen in this phase before production migration begins. Sandbox migration typically takes one to two weeks for mid-size accounts.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from solve 360 Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, and Sales Process resolved), Tasks and Follow-ups, Support Requests (as Case or custom entity), and Attachments (as SharePoint documents or Note attachments). Owner references are resolved from the User mapping created in step two. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Any records that fail validation are held in a rejection queue for manual review.

  6. Cutover, delta sync, and automation handoff

    We freeze writes in solve 360 during cutover, run a final delta migration for any records modified during the migration window, then set Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales as the system of record. We deliver the workflow automation inventory document to the customer's admin team. We support a five-business-day post-cutover window to resolve data quality issues surfaced during the first production reconciliation pass. We do not rebuild solve 360 workflows as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales workflows or Power Automate flows; that is a separate engagement scoped by a Microsoft partner or the customer's internal admin team.
