About the University of Cincinnati Online
The University of Cincinnati, located in Ohio, is a nationally ranked college. In addition to its beautiful campus, the University of Cincinnati offers 100% online programs.
The Challenge
University of Cincinnati Online wanted to transition their recruiting efforts from a mature, heavily-used Hubspot system to a more robust CRM and marketing automation solution, so they selected Salesforce EDA as their CRM and Salesforce Marketing Cloud as their marketing platform. To make things more challenging, UC’s Hubspot licenses were set to expire on February 1, 2020, giving the team less than 3 months to recreate hundreds of email templates and journeys, move millions of rows of data and train their team of 30+ recruiters on the new system. They selected Summit as their partner in the transition.
The Solution
Knowing that making a seamless transition between platforms can be challenging, particularly when data is being generated nearly every minute, 24/7, Summit recommended leveraging Scribe Online to create mappings between Hubspot and Salesforce CRM so the data could be kept in sync. The Summit team also recognized that UC Online was a perfect candidate for the free Interactions for Student Recruitment app for Salesforce EDA, and demo’ed the product for UC Online. After their enthusiastic response to Interactions, the team installed and configured the app alongside Salesforce EDA.
Summit worked closely with client staff to create a project plan that included the following:
Current state analysis and gap analysis
Hubspot data analysis and mappings to existing and custom Salesforce objects and fields
Continuous migration and syncing of data from Hubspot org to new Salesforce org
Installed and configured Salesforce Marketing Cloud Connector
