<introEmbed body={<> ### Step 1 - What data? 1. Don't take all the data for the first release - Usually there are huge amounts of data in legacy systems - take only the most important firstly. 2. Using the planning spreadsheets included with the [Microsoft CRM Data Migration Pack](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/admin-migrate-customer-data?WT.mc_id=DP-MVP-33518) - they are excellent for specifying data migration field mappings. ### Step 2 - Sync or import? 1. Syncing and keeping the old system live is the preferred option 2. Consider writing .NET callouts - or consider Scribe Insight </>} />
