Overview of the migration
We received a message from Tom requesting a migration from Parature to TeamSupport. At the time, the Migration Wizard did not support automatic migration to TeamSupoort. So, first we had to investigate TeamSupport API and see if the migration was possible at all.
Upon investigation, we found that we could actually help migrate the data. However, it would be a quite challenging task. TeamSupport has a particular way of working with knowledge base articles. Thus, there was custom work to do to in order to migrate the articles correctly.
Eventually, Help Desk Migration team successfully completed the migration and Minerva Networks started using TeamSupport.

Headquarters of Minerva networks in San Jose, CAYou migrated from Parature to TeamSupport using Help Desk Migration service. How did you like the process?
The procedure went pretty well. It was my first time doing a job like this and I learned a lot in the process. I think the biggest difference between my expectation and the reality was how much longer getting everything correct would take.
Why did you decide to migrate data?
Our old support tool was ending their service so we were forced to make a change to a new system.

Any tips you’d like to share with those looking to migrate to another help desk?
Start as early as possible because unless everything will be exactly the same on both systems you are bound to forget about some details which can cause delays.
