Transitioning Oxfordshire Homeless Movement to NPSP

What was our client's requirement?

Oxfordshire Homeless Movement (OHM) is a partnership of the many organisations helping those experiencing homelessness in Oxfordshire.
OHM, an Oxford-based organization, required a more efficient and specialized solution for managing their data on becoming a standalone charity.
They were already using Salesforce but had made significant customizations to objects, fields, relationships, and automation to meet their specific needs.
The client expressed their interest in migrating from Customized Salesforce to the Non-profit Success Package (NPSP), a pre-built package designed specifically for non-profit organizations.
The main objective was to migrate their existing data into the new NPSP organization on becoming a charity and provide training on how to utilize the features and functionalities of NPSP effectively.
