Why RIAs Migrate from Redtail to Salesforce

While Redtail remains popular, growing RIAs need the advanced capabilities that only Salesforce provides

Limited Customization

Redtail's rigid structure makes it difficult to adapt to unique business processes, while Salesforce offers unlimited customization

Basic Reporting

Redtail's reporting capabilities are limited compared to Salesforce's advanced analytics, dashboards, and AI-powered insights

Scalability Constraints

Growing firms outgrow Redtail's capabilities and need an enterprise platform that scales with business growth

Outdated Technology

Redtail's aging platform lacks modern features like AI, mobile optimization, and advanced automation available in Salesforce

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about migrating from Redtail to Salesforce

How long does a Redtail to Salesforce migration typically take?

Most Redtail migrations complete in 4-8 weeks. This includes initial discovery and planning (1 week), field mapping and data transformation (1-2 weeks), test migrations and validation (2-3 weeks), and production migration with user training (1-2 weeks). Timeline varies based on data volume, customizations, and integration complexity.

Will our Redtail workflows and automations transfer to Salesforce?

Redtail workflows cannot be directly migrated, but we rebuild equivalent and often improved automations in Salesforce. During discovery, we analyze your Redtail workflows and recreate them using Salesforce Flow, Process Builder, or Apex, typically resulting in more sophisticated and reliable automation.

How do you handle Redtail categories and tags in Salesforce?

We map Redtail categories and tags to Salesforce's more flexible tagging and classification system. This typically involves creating custom picklist fields, record types, or utilizing Salesforce's native tagging capabilities, providing better reporting and segmentation than Redtail's category system.

Can we migrate our Redtail email history and attachments?

Yes. We migrate all email history, notes, and attachments from Redtail to Salesforce. Emails are preserved in the activity timeline, and attachments are stored in Salesforce Files with proper organization and access controls. We also maintain the relationship between emails and their associated contacts.

What happens to our Redtail integrations after migration?

We help you transition to Salesforce-compatible integrations. Most popular tools that integrate with Redtail also have Salesforce integrations, often with more features. We identify your critical integrations during discovery and coordinate the transition, including data mapping and authentication setup.

Do you provide Redtail comparison training for users?

Yes. Our training explicitly compares Redtail and Salesforce workflows, showing users how to accomplish their daily tasks in the new system. We provide role-based training highlighting improvements over Redtail, ensuring smooth adoption and minimizing resistance to change.
