Migrating from a legacy system like Oracle Siebel CRM to Salesforce is a major transformation. But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In our video, we walk you through an end-to-end demo of how conemis simplifies the metadata and data migration process to take out the pain.

Migrating CRMs isn't just about moving data, it’s about transforming concepts, business logic, and even user expectations. Oracle Siebel, though powerful in its day, has a very different structure from Salesforce. And it may have been heavily customized. That means:

  • Objects don’t always match one-to-one.
  • Custom objects and fields might not exist in Salesforce.
  • Manual mapping can become so complex that it is time-consuming and error-prone.

That’s where conemis transition cloud comes in. It automates, brings visibility to every step, and helps organizations de-risk even the most complex migrations.

See It in Action: Real Demo Scenario

In the video, we use a real-world migration scenario: moving Account and Contact objects from Oracle Siebel to Salesforce.

Scope Setting: Defining What to Migrate

A successful migration doesn’t start with getting what you want but knowing what to want.  Scope definition is the key. In conemis, this is simple, visual, and collaborative even for users who aren’t Siebel experts.

During the demo, you’ll see how the platform:

  • Lists all objects available in Siebel – on a business object level, not the technical tables
  • Lets users sort by record count and other parameters, making high-impact data easy to identify
  • Offers intuitive scope selection for objecdts, fields, and more

This saves time and reduces guesswork when choosing what to migrate.

Metadata First: Building the Data Model in Salesforce

Before migrating any data, it's critical to ensure that the target system (Salesforce) is properly configured to receive it. That’s why the process begins with metadata migration, where conemis helps you in the walkthrough:

  • Run a fit-gap analysis between source (e.g. Siebel) and target data models
  • Map required fields from Siebel to Salesforce using an intuitive UI
  • Identify and automatically create any missing custom fields in Salesforce
  • Configure field settings like labels, API names, data types (e.g. currency), and naming conventions
  • Validate and deploy these changes with just one click

This upfront configuration ensures that Salesforce is structurally ready with no manual entry or misalignments. Once deployed, the org is instantly updated with the new metadata, so your first data import flows into a system that’s fully aligned and ready for real business use.

Data Migration: From Siebel Records to Salesforce Objects

After configuring the target environment, the demo transitions to data extraction and import.

Using conemis transition cloud, you can:

  • Directly extract multiple objects from Siebel without writing a single SQL query
  • Automatically match definitions across systems
  • Import the data directly into Salesforce with just a few clicks

What makes this step powerful is the real-time monitoring:

  • See status updates live
  • Track records imported, updated, and failed
  • View categorized error reports for faster troubleshooting

And the best part? You can re-run only the failed records, dramatically reducing error resolution time.

Highlights You Don’t Want to Miss

Want to skip the long documentation and see how it actually works? The video shows:

  • Real UI walkthrough of the conemis transition cloud platform
  • On-screen step-by-step guidance for each migration phase
  • Examples of real field creation and deployment
  • A seamless shift from scope setting to full data import

By watching the full video, you’ll understand what to expect during your own Siebel-to-Salesforce migration without needing to touch code or configure custom scripts.
