Any team switching from another help desk is eligible when it purchases any [BoldDesk plan](https://www.bolddesk.com/pricing). Every plan includes free data migration of your tickets, contacts, and knowledge base articles, along with free onboarding to set up your workflows and team. If you’re still under contract with your current vendor, we’ll also cover up to 6 months of your remaining contract fees (contract buyout) so you don’t pay for two help desks. How much will this cost? Nothing! We want to set you up for success, which includes providing you with a free migration. How long will my migration take ? We complete migrations as quickly as feasible. The timeframe will be determined by the complexity of your migration (as well as our present workload). After you submit your migration request, we will contact you via email to work out an estimate. Our [help desk migration guide](https://www.bolddesk.com/guides/help-desk-migration) covers planning, data mapping and testing. Is there anything you can't or won't migrate? Customers must configure the ticket, contact, and contact group fields in a migration account by comparing their existing account before migrations begin. Our expert migration service does not include custom coding. However, you may hire a developer to take care of getting the code to work with your difficult migration procedure. What will you move from my current provider? BoldDesk can migrate data such as tickets, articles, tags, end users or contacts, and companies or contact groups. Records for these modules will retain the date and time of creation and modification, as well as the user who created them. The customer must export the data from the current help desk vendor and share the file with the BoldDesk migration team. Are migrated tickets considered in the total ticket count? Only currently open tickets are considered for the total ticket count. Closed tickets are not considered for the total ticket count. Is it possible to do the migration by department or team, so for a longer period of time? BoldDesk will do free migration as a one-time activity. A **premium migration** must be used for the longer migrating process. [Contact us about it.](https://www.bolddesk.com/contact-us) I'm still unsure if this is what I require. Not an issue!
