The Mission:
Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity needed to migrate its database of 2.7 million supporter records from a legacy fundraising platform to Salesforce. The project was driven by a desire to improve efficiency, scalability and long-term flexibility, while ensuring the charity could continue to raise vital funds for the hospital without disruption.
The scale and complexity of the migration presented a significant challenge. Data needed to be accurately transformed and transferred within a tight timeframe, while maintaining consistency across processes, supporting critical fundraising functions such as Gift Aid and establishing stronger data governance for the future. Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity partnered with Euler to deliver a seamless migration and create the foundations for long-term data quality and operational success.
Euler worked alongside Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity and its implementation partner to deliver the migration of 2.7 million supporter records from a legacy fundraising platform to Salesforce.
Through a combination of detailed data analysis, mapping, testing and validation, the project ensured that critical fundraising data could be transferred accurately and efficiently, while minimising disruption to day-to-day operations.
Alongside the migration itself, Euler helped establish a long-term framework for data quality and governance. New data quality rules, validation processes and staff involvement throughout testing ensured the charity could not only launch its new platform successfully, but also maintain cleaner, more reliable data in the future. The result was a modernised fundraising platform, stronger data foundations and a seamless transition for both supporters and internal teams.
