Customer and commercial details have been generalised.
Context
A business separating from a wider group needed its own Salesforce environment. Its teams still depended on configuration, applications, integrations and customer data held inside the parent organisation's shared platform.
The constraint
This was not a blank implementation. The new organisation needed operational continuity and clear data ownership without blindly copying every historic field, package and automation into the target org. External system owners also had to reconfigure their side of each connection.
Delivery design
EKWIS structured the work around a newly provisioned Salesforce org, selective metadata deployment, package configuration, integration reconnection and a Salesforce-to-Salesforce data migration. In-scope records were mapped and loaded with their relationships intact, while UAT, user training, cutover and a defined hypercare period formed part of the operating transition.
How risk was controlled
- Only configuration and data required by the separated business entered the target scope.
- Package, credential and endpoint dependencies were made explicit before cutover.
- Migration inputs, exclusions and ownership were agreed rather than discovered during the final load.
- UAT remained a customer-owned decision with EKWIS resolving configuration gaps and supporting release.
- New functionality was kept outside the carve-out so separation did not become an uncontrolled redesign.
Acceptance definition
The target org needed to support the agreed business processes independently, contain the in-scope data with usable relationships, reconnect the required external services and complete an approved cutover with post-release support in place.
