Why Shyphan

Why Canadian teams trust us with a Microsoft Dynamics 365 migration

  • Sandbox dry run before any live load
  • Written reconciliation you can hand to your auditor
  • History, notes and attachments migrated, not just master data
  • Parallel-run option for finance migrations
  • Rollback plan agreed before cutover
Why move

Why Canadian businesses leave Microsoft Dynamics 365

Dynamics 365 is capable but expensive to licence and, in most Canadian mid-market deployments, expensive to change. Teams tell us the same things: every small adjustment needs a partner, the interface has more fields than anyone uses, and the annual bill keeps rising while adoption does not.

Zoho CRM is the sales system of record: leads, accounts, deals, forecasting, and the automation that moves them forward, and for most Canadian teams the switch is driven by cost, by wanting fewer vendors, or by needing the rest of the business on the same platform rather than by a single missing feature.

We are not evangelists. If Microsoft Dynamics 365 is serving you well and the business case is thin, we will say so. Where the case holds, we move you across cleanly and reconcile the result in writing.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 migrations across Canada

We run Microsoft Dynamics 365 to Zoho CRM migrations for clients in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Quebec City, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Halifax and Victoria and every Canadian region, remotely on ET and PT, with the cutover scheduled around your quiet period rather than ours.

Getting Microsoft Dynamics 365 to Zoho CRM Migration right in Canada

A Canadian migration has to carry over GST/HST history, input tax credits and open balances without losing anything. This is how we run Microsoft Dynamics 365 to Zoho CRM Migration.

GST/HST history kept intact

Open invoices, credit notes and the GST/HST, PST or QST charged on them come across with the same numbers, so past returns can still be traced to source.

Payroll and T4 data in step

Year-to-date payroll totals and contractor payments come across, so T4, T4A and T5018 slips are not rebuilt by hand at year end.

Balances to the cent

Opening balances, open receivables and payables and bank balances are reconciled before the old system is switched off.

Parallel run

The old and new systems run side by side for one cycle, so the team trusts the numbers before the switch.

What we deliver

How the Microsoft Dynamics 365 to Zoho CRM migration runs

Five stages, a sandbox dry run before anything goes live, and a fixed quote in CAD agreed up front.

01

Microsoft Dynamics 365 export and audit

A complete extract from Microsoft Dynamics 365, profiled for duplicates, format breaks and referential gaps before any mapping is agreed.

02

Field mapping to Zoho CRM

Every object and field mapped, picklists aligned, and the gaps between the two data models flagged in writing rather than discovered at cutover.

03

Cleansing and de-duplication

Canadian postal codes, phone formats, company names and dates standardized, duplicates merged under agreed survivorship rules.

04

Sandbox dry run

A full rehearsal load in a sandbox that you inspect against Microsoft Dynamics 365, with an exception list resolved before the live run.

05

Cutover and reconciliation

Live load on an agreed window, counts and totals reconciled and signed off, and a read-only archive of Microsoft Dynamics 365 retained.

Canadian compliance

What Canadian compliance means for Microsoft Dynamics 365 to Zoho CRM Migration

Sales tax in Canada depends on the province you sell into, payroll runs through the CRA (and Revenu Québec in Quebec), and privacy and language rules differ by province. These are the rules a Canadian setup has to get right.

ObligationWhat the rule isWhat has to be configured
GST/HST, PST and QSTGST is 5% across Canada. Ontario charges 13% HST; Nova Scotia 14%; New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and PEI 15%. British Columbia (7% PST), Saskatchewan (6% PST), Manitoba (7% RST) and Quebec (9.975% QST) add their own provincial tax; Alberta and the territories charge GST only. Registration is required once taxable supplies pass CAD 30,000 over four consecutive quarters.Tax applied by the province of the customer, GST/HST and QST registration numbers on every invoice, zero-rated and exempt items set correctly, input tax credits tracked, and a return report for each filing period.
Corporate income taxFederal rate of 15%, or 9% on the first CAD 500,000 of active business income for Canadian-controlled private corporations, plus the provincial rate. The T2 return is due six months after year end.A chart of accounts that maps to the T2 and provincial returns, entities kept separate, and capital cost allowance classes recorded on fixed assets.
Payroll source deductionsIncome tax, CPP (QPP in Quebec) and EI (plus QPIP in Quebec) are withheld and remitted, usually monthly. T4 and T4A slips go out by the end of February, and a Record of Employment is issued when earnings are interrupted.Payroll run through a Canadian payroll provider, journals posting to the ledger, and contractor payments tracked for T4A and, in construction, T5018 reporting.
Employment standardsEach province sets its own vacation pay, statutory holidays, overtime and termination rules, and some provinces add an employer health tax on payroll.Leave, holiday and overtime policies configured for each province where you employ people.
Privacy, anti-spam and languagePIPEDA applies federally, Quebec's Law 25 adds stricter consent and privacy-impact rules, and Alberta and BC have their own private-sector laws. CASL requires consent for commercial emails and texts. Quebec's Charter of the French Language requires French in commercial documents.Accounts provisioned in Zoho's Canadian data centre, consent captured for every contact, French templates for Quebec customers, and access and deletion requests handled on record.

The filing calendar

  • Monthly, quarterly or annuallyGST/HST return (and QST in Quebec), at the frequency the CRA assigns from your revenue
  • MonthlyPayroll source deduction remittances for most employers
  • End of FebruaryT4 and T4A slips and summaries
  • Six months after year endT2 corporate income tax return

Who you file with

We configure the system to produce what these returns need, and we test it against your own transactions before go-live. We are not tax advisers: your CPA signs the returns, and rates and thresholds change, so treat this as the shape of the work rather than advice. Last reviewed October 24, 2026.

FAQ

Microsoft Dynamics 365 to Zoho CRM migration: questions answered

Will our GST/HST history survive Microsoft Dynamics 365 to Zoho CRM Migration?
Yes. Invoices, credit notes and the tax on them are migrated with original numbers and dates, so past GST/HST and QST returns stay traceable, and open input tax credits are carried forward correctly.
When is the best time to run Microsoft Dynamics 365 to Zoho CRM Migration?
At the start of a GST/HST reporting period, so the first return in the new system covers a full period. Mid-year moves work too; we carry year-to-date payroll and contractor totals across.
Will we lose our Microsoft Dynamics 365 history when we move to Zoho CRM?
No. Notes, attachments, activity history and closed records come across alongside the master data. Losing history is the quickest way to lose user trust in the new system, so we treat it as in scope from the start.
How long does a Microsoft Dynamics 365 to Zoho CRM migration take?
For a typical Canadian SME, two to five weeks including the dry run and reconciliation. Dynamics deployments often carry years of customization, so the mapping stage takes longer than the load. Entity relationships and option sets need careful alignment.
What usually goes wrong in a Microsoft Dynamics 365 migration?
Dynamics 365 is capable but expensive to licence and, in most Canadian mid-market deployments, expensive to change. Teams tell us the same things: every small adjustment needs a partner, the interface has more fields than anyone uses, and the annual bill keeps rising while adoption does not. We surface these during profiling, before the quote is fixed, rather than raising them as change requests halfway through.
Can we run Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Zoho CRM in parallel?
For finance migrations we usually recommend one parallel period so the numbers can be compared. For CRM and support tools, parallel running splits the team's attention, so we prefer a clean cutover with the old system left read-only.
What happens to our Microsoft Dynamics 365 licences?
Keep them read-only until reconciliation is signed off and your first full period has closed on Zoho CRM, then cancel. We plan the timing so you are not paying for both any longer than necessary.
Do you migrate custom fields and workflows too?
Custom fields, yes. Workflows are rebuilt rather than copied, because automation designed for Microsoft Dynamics 365 rarely maps cleanly and is usually worth simplifying while you have the chance.
Which Canadian time zone do you work in?
Our consultants overlap Canadian business hours from Pacific to Atlantic time for workshops, training and support, with an extended team providing cover outside core hours.
Do you sign an NDA before we share our data?
Yes, as a matter of course. We also work in a sandbox with masked or sample data wherever the real thing is not needed, and document the processing arrangement for your privacy records.
Can we speak to a reference client?
Yes. After the discovery call we will introduce you to a client of comparable size and sector wherever we have one who has agreed to act as a reference.

Where Zoho CRM is weak - and what we do about it

Reporting is good but not a BI tool - anything beyond standard dashboards needs Zoho Analytics. Territory management is basic below the Enterprise tier, and heavy custom logic ends up in Deluge, which is quick to write and harder to maintain than real code.

How we handle it: We keep automation in the standard rules where we can, put genuine reporting in Analytics, and tell you before the project which tier you actually need.
