Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to extract and work with the Salesforce object model, which helped you understand object dependencies and relationships. We also saw the important role legacy data migration plays in the successful implementation of the CPQ project.

Migration may sound as simple as migrating data from point A to point B, but in this chapter, we realized that there are a lot of complexities involved in this process, and it is very challenging. We also realized that the data in each legacy system is different, and thus it is very important to understand the legacy data mapping to Salesforce CPQ objects. We learned how CPQ changes can be migrated from one Salesforce instance to another. There is no right tool that fits all migration needs. Based on the business process and the functionality, the solution needs to be analyzed and implemented.

In the next chapter, we will learn about Salesforce Billing.
