Overview
Masergy is a managed SD-WAN and UCaaS/CCaaS platform absorbed into Comcast Business in October 2021. The migration path to Salesforce Service Cloud applies specifically to Masergy's Cloud Contact Center data — agent profiles, queue assignments, supervisor relationships, contact records, and case or ticket histories. Masergy does not publish a customer-accessible API for data export, so all extraction requires Comcast Business professional services engagement or manual admin-portal work, which extends timelines compared to platforms with open APIs. We structure whatever Masergy exports into Salesforce Service Cloud Contacts, Users, Queues, Skills, and Cases, mapping queue routing logic to Service Cloud Omni-Channel work items and Skills-based routing. SD-WAN site definitions, dial plans, UCaaS extensions, and managed security policies are networking and infrastructure configurations with no Service Cloud equivalent and are documented as out-of-scope. Call recordings and MDR alert history are stored in Masergy's internal infrastructure and cannot be exported by any customer-accessible mechanism. We deliver a written workflow inventory for Service Cloud Flow rebuilds but do not migrate automations as code.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Masergy object lands in Salesforce Service Cloud, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Masergy
Contact Center Agents
Salesforce Service Cloud
User
1:1Masergy CCaaS agent profiles — including login credentials, supervisor assignments, and queue entitlements — map to Salesforce User records. We resolve agents by email match against the destination org's User table. Any Masergy agent without a matching Salesforce User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before contact and case import begins. Masergy agent skill tags map to Salesforce Skills records linked to the User via SkillUser junction object.
Masergy
Agent Teams
Salesforce Service Cloud
Group + Territory (or Role hierarchy)
1:1Masergy team structures that map supervisor-to-agent relationships and team-level queue assignments export as structured roster data. We reapply them to Salesforce as either Salesforce Groups (for queue-scoped team assignments) or Role hierarchy placements (for territory-based assignments), depending on the customer's chosen Service Cloud org structure. The customer selects the model during scoping.
Masergy
Contact Center Queues
Salesforce Service Cloud
Case Queue + Omni-Channel Work Item
1:1Masergy Cloud Contact Center queue definitions — routing rules, priority settings, and agent group memberships — map to Salesforce Case Queues and Omni-Channel routing configurations. Routing priority and SLA thresholds from Masergy queue settings translate to Omni-Channel Work Item priority values. We configure Omni-Channel Flows to replicate Masergy routing behavior once queue data is imported.
Masergy
UCaaS Contact Records
Salesforce Service Cloud
Contact
1:1Masergy Global UCaaS user records that include name, email, phone, and extension data map to Salesforce Contact records. The Masergy extension assignment migrates as a custom field masergy_extension__c on Contact. Masergy contact records that include customer-facing support ticket data map to Case contacts; pure internal extension records map only to Contact without case linkage.
Masergy
CCaaS Case / Ticket History
Salesforce Service Cloud
Case
1:1Masergy Cloud Contact Center case or ticket history — including subject, description, status, priority, created date, closed date, assigned agent, and associated contact — maps to Salesforce Case records. Masergy case thread messages migrate as Case Thread Entries or EmailMessage records linked to the Case. We preserve original timestamps via ActivityDate and Set Audit Fields Upon Record Creation enabled in the destination org.
Masergy
Dial Plans
Salesforce Service Cloud
(documentation only)
lossyMasergy UCaaS dial plans define routing behavior for internal extensions, DID numbers, and outbound call routing. These are platform-specific routing configurations that have no direct Salesforce Service Cloud equivalent because Service Cloud does not manage voice infrastructure. We export the dial-plan rules as structured configuration documentation and deliver it to the customer's IT team to re-implement in their chosen voice infrastructure (Salesforce Voice Service, telephony partner, or separate UCaaS).
Masergy
UCaaS Users
Salesforce Service Cloud
Contact (extension records)
1:1Masergy Global UCaaS user records include extension assignments, dial-plan membership, and device provisioning settings. We migrate the core user identity and extension data as Salesforce Contact records with a custom extension field. Device-level provisioning does not migrate; it is reconfigured in the destination voice infrastructure post-migration.
Masergy
SD-WAN Sites
Salesforce Service Cloud
(out of scope)
lossyMasergy SD-WAN site definitions — tunnel configurations, WAN circuit assignments, and routing policies — are networking infrastructure configurations with no Salesforce Service Cloud equivalent. Service Cloud is a customer service and case management platform, not a network management system. We document the SD-WAN site inventory as a structured configuration export for the customer's networking team to re-implement in their chosen SD-WAN platform (Cisco Viptela, VMware SD-WAN, Versa, or similar).
Masergy
Managed Security Policies
Salesforce Service Cloud
(documentation only)
lossyMasergy Managed Security policy rules — including firewall, IDS/IPS, and MDR configurations — are defined in Masergy's security portal and have no Salesforce Service Cloud equivalent. Service Cloud manages customer service operations, not network security. We export the security policy rule sets as structured configuration documentation and deliver it to the customer's IT or security team to re-implement with their chosen MSSP or security platform.
Masergy
Call Recordings
Salesforce Service Cloud
(not migrated)
lossyCall recordings generated within Masergy CCaaS are stored in Masergy's media infrastructure and cannot be downloaded or exported via any customer-accessible mechanism. This is a hard limitation. We flag recording storage boundaries upfront in the scope document and advise customers to retain recordings in-place or arrange a manual archive through Comcast Business support if compliance retention is required. Service Cloud's Salesforce Call Recording (if Voice Service is licensed) is not a migration target for existing Masergy recordings.
Masergy
MDR Alert History
Salesforce Service Cloud
(not migrated)
lossyManaged Detection and Response alert logs and incident records are maintained in Masergy's internal SIEM and are not accessible via customer-facing tools. Alert history cannot migrate. We document this gap in the migration scope and recommend that customers export any required compliance or audit records before initiating migration using Masergy's managed security portal reporting features if available. Service Cloud does not include SIEM functionality.

Migration approach
Discovery and portal stack identification
We audit the Masergy tenant across both potential portal stacks (legacy Masergy and Comcast Business) to identify where CCaaS agent records, queue configurations, and contact/ticket data reside. We extract a data inventory: agent count, team count, queue count, contact record count, and case/ticket history volume. We pair this with a Salesforce Service Cloud edition assessment — Starter ($25/user) for basic case management, Professional ($100/user) for Flow and Omni-Channel routing, Enterprise ($175/user) for Skills-based routing and advanced case management — and confirm whether the destination org is existing (with a pre-built schema requiring gap analysis) or net-new.
Comcast Business data extraction coordination
Because Masergy has no customer-accessible API, we initiate the data extraction process by engaging Comcast Business professional services or coordinating with the customer's Masergy account manager to request structured exports of agent records, queue configurations, contact data, and case history. We structure the export requirements as a formal data request specification that the customer submits to Comcast Business. We validate the received exports against the discovery inventory (record counts, field presence, date ranges) and flag any gaps before proceeding to transformation.
Destination schema design and Skills/Queue configuration
We design the Salesforce Service Cloud destination schema. This includes creating Salesforce Queues for each Masergy contact center queue, creating Skills records for each Masergy agent skill tag, configuring Omni-Channel routing configurations to replicate Masergy queue routing logic and priority levels, creating custom fields (masergy_agent_id__c, masergy_queue_id__c, masergy_extension__c) for cross-reference and audit, and designing the Case Record Type and Page Layout assignments per queue. Schema deploys to a Salesforce Sandbox first for validation before any production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox (Full Copy or Partial Copy) using production-like data volume. The customer's Service Cloud admin and contact center operations lead reconcile record counts across all object types, spot-check 25-50 records against the Masergy source exports, and validate that queue routing logic reproduces correctly in Omni-Channel. Any field mapping corrections, missing lookups, or validation rule failures are resolved in the Sandbox before production migration begins. Sign-off from the customer's admin is required before we proceed to production.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Salesforce Users (with SkillUser junctions resolved), Contacts (with masergy_extension__c populated), Case Queues and Omni-Channel configurations, then Case records (with ContactId, OwnerId, and QueueId resolved, and original timestamps preserved via Set Audit Fields). SD-WAN and managed security configurations are excluded from data migration and delivered as structured documentation. Call recording and MDR alert history are flagged as non-migratable and excluded from the scope.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze Masergy writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Salesforce Service Cloud as the system of record for the contact center. We deliver a written inventory of any contact center routing rules, escalation logic, or SLA configurations that require rebuild in Salesforce Flow or Omni-Channel. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild routing automations as code inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
