Considering re-platforming to HubSpot? It’s an exciting step that could bring massive upgrades in efficiency, data management, and business growth. HubSpot’s powerful tools offer incredible potential, but it’s natural to feel hesitant about the hurdle of re-platforming.

Marketing Automation re-platforming, often also referred to as platform migration or simply migration, is a large undertaking for an established business. It usually includes concerns about costs, timelines, and technical challenges. Many businesses end up stuck with outdated and disconnected systems, fearing disruptions or potential data loss. However, a successful transition to a connected solution, like HubSpot, can unlock significant benefits, including:

  • improved data organization,
  • enhanced system functionality,
  • optimized reporting, and
  • better customer insights.

That’s why we’re excited to launch the Marketing Automation Re-Platforming Estimator app! (Marketo to HubSpot) (Pardot to HubSpot)

Everything you know about planning HubSpot migrations is about to change. Say goodbye to frustrating delays, costly errors, and endless manual work. A cutting-edge app is here to revolutionize the process—making HubSpot migrations planning faster, more cost-effective, and easier than ever.

This game-changing tool takes the hassle out of the first step of platform transition: planning. Here’s everything you need to know about how this revolutionary app works, the challenges it solves, and how it can help elevate your business strategy. 

Understanding the challenges of re-platforming projects

Migrating marketing automation platforms, like moving from Marketo to HubSpot or Pardot to HubSpot, is far more complex than a simple "lift and shift." It's a process often plagued by underestimated scope and unforeseen complications. It requires careful planning, data mapping, and ensuring compatibility with your existing processes to avoid disruptions.

Businesses often encounter various challenges during the process, ranging from operational inefficiencies and resource constraints to difficulties in meeting company-wide expectations and adapting to changes in legacy internal processes.

It's not uncommon for companies to face these hurdles when using traditional HubSpot migration services: 

  • Unclear Costs: Quoting the price of HubSpot implementation can be tricky. Without clear insights into the required scope, costs can quickly spiral out of control. 
  • Extended Timelines: Platform migrations sometimes stretch longer than expected due to poor project planning, inefficient workflows, or technical obstacles. 
  • Data Integrity Issues: Ensuring all data is migrated without duplication, corruption, or loss is critical but can be tedious without the right tools. 
  • Complex Integrations: Integrating third-party tools and ensuring seamless communication between platforms require expertise and time. 
  • Rebuilding Assets: Workflows, landing pages, campaigns, and marketing assets often need to be reconstructed in HubSpot, adding significant effort and costs. 
  • Unpredictable Outcomes: Businesses often shy away from new platforms for fear of onboarding disruptions and inheriting previous data issues. 

Traditional platform migration planning methods often rely heavily on manual estimation, using spreadsheets, paper-based calculations, or basic tools to predict outcomes. Without advanced software or automation, these processes are time-consuming and prone to human error, leading to inaccurate results.

Additionally, communication among teams and departments can be fragmented, with data scattered across multiple channels, making it challenging to ensure consistency. Limited automation means asset mapping has to be done manually, slowing down workflows and increasing the likelihood of mistakes. These inefficiencies often result in delays, higher costs, and setbacks that could be avoided with more streamlined and modern approaches.

The game-changing app that solves your pain points when planning a migration to HubSpot

It's time to reinvent the way we approach re-platforming! The Marketing Automation Estimator app eliminates the guesswork and stress often associated with planning the migration from your legacy systems to HubSpot. This expertly engineered tool provides a seamless solution to common migration challenges, addressing key pain points such as manual asset mapping, inaccurate project scopes, and time projections.

Streamlining the process helps businesses save valuable time and money while preserving critical data and uninterrupted workflows. With detailed guidance and robust support, this tool empowers businesses to make smarter, more informed decisions throughout the pre-migration process, setting them up for success on their new platform.

How the estimator solves key migration planning challenges:

This tool directly confronts the common pain points encountered when planning and executing a platform switch:

  1. Challenge: Underestimating Scope and Effort
    • The Problem: Teams frequently fail to grasp the sheer volume of assets (emails, landing pages, forms, workflows, data, integrations, etc.) that need evaluation and action. Manually inventorying everything is incredibly time-consuming and prone to omissions, leading to incomplete plans.
    • The Estimator's Solution: It automates the inventory process, helping you map out all existing assets. This provides a comprehensive, realistic view of the actual work involved, eliminating the dangerous guesswork that leads to scope creep and budget blowouts.
  2. Challenge: Inaccurate Time and Cost Projections
    • The Problem: Without a clear inventory, accurately estimating the hours and resources needed to rebuild assets, migrate data, and configure the new platform is nearly impossible. This uncertainty makes effective budget and timeline planning incredibly difficult.
    • The Estimator's Solution: By analyzing the inventoried assets, the tool calculates data-driven estimates for the cost required for rebuilding your chosen assets within HubSpot. This replaces ambiguity with concrete figures, enabling confident resource allocation and realistic project timelines.
  3. Challenge: Deciding What Actually Needs to Move
    • The Problem: Not every asset from the old system should be migrated 1:1. Some may be obsolete, underperforming, or better replaced by native HubSpot features. Making these strategic decisions requires clear visibility into existing assets and their function.
    • The Estimator's Solution: The tool identifies which components (like specific landing pages, forms, or workflows) exist in your current system. This clarity allows teams to strategically prioritize which assets are crucial to rebuild, which can be archived, and where HubSpot's capabilities can be leveraged more effectively, optimizing the migration effort.
