Thanks to streamlined processes on one unified platform

A leading US energy retailer was still running a critical municipal business on a fragile legacy Salesforce org.

In just four months, Tachyon moved that entire business into the modern Salesforce platform, migrated millions of records, and set the client up to switch the old system off for good.

CHALLENGE

A critical business stuck on a legacy org
Municipal and community contracts still lived on a separate, aging Salesforce org with no real owner and rising run costs.
Sales and support teams depended on it every day, but the business wanted to move off it without risking revenue.
A high-stakes migration right after a massive project
The client had just completed a much larger migration and was still stabilizing that go-live.
IT needed this second migration done before the holiday window closed, or specialized resources would sit idle for weeks.
Complex pricing flows with no tolerance for errors
Every contract relied on a chain of systems: Salesforce, Snowflake, SAP HANA, AWS Land Power, SAP and Boomi.
Energy pricing changes frequently, so any data or integration issue could break quoting, contracts or billing for an entire business line.

SOLUTIONS

Agile delivery with real users in the loop
New Salesforce functionality was given to business users early, so they could test, react and shape refinements before go-live.
Detailed plan instead of last-minute heroics
Tachyon built a day-by-day plan across three to four months, with Jira stories, milestones, UAT and clear cutover steps for every team.
Design aligned to the existing Salesforce model
Municipal capabilities were designed to plug into the existing security, roles and processes, creating a foundation that other businesses can reuse.
De-risked migration with repeated dry runs and validation
The team ran multiple full dry runs of the migration, then used a Python-based validation tool to compare old vs new data and give leadership clear reports on accuracy.

RESULTS

Legacy org ready to retire, budgets freed up

With the last business off the old Salesforce instance, the client can fully decommission it.
That unlocks roughly $650K per year in IT run and support costs that can now be redirected into growth.

Faster, more productive internal sales teams

Running on one modern Salesforce org, municipal sales no longer juggle multiple systems or manual workarounds.
The client reports around a 40% improvement in internal sales performance for this line of business.

A reusable blueprint for future migrations

Security, quoting, pricing and accounting were built as reusable patterns.
Future businesses and acquisitions can now be onboarded into Salesforce faster, using a proven, scalable model instead of starting from scratch.
