Platforms & Migration

Platform decisions are strategy decisions in disguise.

Selection, migration, and experience design with evidence behind every choice. Get it right once, instead of doing this project again in three years.

Why now

The platform market has never been shakier

Vendors are consolidating, pricing changes mid-contract, and AI features ship half-finished. Many teams are being forced into migrations they didn’t plan. The decisions you make here lock in your costs and your member experience for years.

Selection

We gather and prioritise requirements, then score vendors with a weighted rubric. You see exactly why the winner won, and you can defend it to procurement.

Migration

Migrations fail in the details: data, redirects, field mapping, member trust. We’ve run them on every major enterprise platform.

Experience design

Platform defaults are not a design. We design the experience around what members come to do, then configure the platform to match.

The migration framework

Six processes that decide whether a migration succeeds

1. Steering committee

The right people with the authority to make calls quickly.

2. Problem clarity

Agree what the migration must fix before anyone touches a vendor demo.

3. Migration approach

Big bang or phased, archive or move, decided on evidence.

4. Data preparation

Clean what’s worth keeping. Archive what isn’t. Your AI tools will thank you.

5. Field mapping

Where every profile, post, and point goes, documented before the move.

6. Testing

Members find problems fast. We find them first.

Proof

From decision to launch

“FeverBee really went into the data, identifying trends, researching what our members responded to, helping us move to a new platform. They helped us look at what we were doing, provided insights, and created a detailed plan for us.”

Manuel Oliveira, Community Manager, Pipedrive
