Merging two enterprise Salesforce instances into one source of truth
Challenge
Two production Salesforce instances were running side by side following an acquisition, with overlapping accounts, duplicated opportunity history, and reporting that leadership did not fully trust. Forecast calls were being spent reconciling numbers instead of running the business.
Approach
Built cross-org field schema comparisons across Opportunity, Account, and Lead to drive executive merge decisions. Designed a target data model that preserved historical reporting, implemented Salesforce-to-Salesforce lead integration between orgs, and integrated the consolidated instance with Ironclad, Gong, NetSuite, and proprietary internal systems. Standardized picklists, flows, and reporting across both orgs. Identified and escalated a PCI-DSS compliance risk during the work, protecting the company from audit exposure.
Outcome
One Salesforce instance, one set of pipeline and forecast reports, and a clean account and opportunity history the revenue team can defend. Reporting stopped being the meeting and started being the input to the meeting.
