Scaling Without Compromise How we built cloud infrastructure for a mission-driven platform Rebuilding the Backbone of Media Transparency When Ad Fontes Media set out to grow their software capabilities, they needed more than extra developers: they needed a strong, solid foundation for long-term growth.

With expertise in sourcing precisely the right engineering talent and implementing scalable cloud infrastructure, BearPeak enabled Ad Fontes Media to expand its capabilities without compromising stability or speed. I am a repeat customer of BearPeak. It's really nice to have a company that you can rely on. Lots of folks have the skills to do software development. But you can't just throw [them] into a room and expect really efficient results, or that everyone's going to get along, unless you have somebody who really understands interpersonal dynamics and has the technical knowledge. I always had really clear expectations of what was going to happen and when, and who was going to do what. You can't find that everywhere. - Vanessa Otero, Founder & CEO of Ad Fontes Media Ready to scale with confidence?

Building a Stronger & Smarter Foundation Overview The Problem Opportunities Game Plan Overview New Direction Trust Company's teams were struggling to work with outdated legacy CRMs. The CEO's data-driven vision was being held back, so it was time to move. We helped define internal procedures, not only to align the tech with the teams, but unlock insights from their data. Oh, and we saved them $600K. 😎 Game Plan: Simplify We aimed to separate financial vs support data, clean up legacy issues, and design migration scripts that would map into HubSpot's intuitive structure. This would require clear communication with our client's teams to ensure accuracy, adoption, and continuous momentum. Opportunities With HubSpot, we unlocked a world of possibilities: Marketing, sales, and support all under one roof Access on desktop, mobile, & multiple accounts Consider the C in CRM: It's about reestablishing and nourishing the relationship with our customer. The Problem The existing CRM didn’t fit how the organization actually did business: Information didn't line up, the quality was unreliable, and integrations between tools were unstable. How could they trust reports or automate workflows? Plus, the client was about to owe a large renewal payment for software that wasn’t working for them. HubSpot Migration The Design Process & Challenges The Design Process & Challenges The Design Process & Challenges The Design Process & Challenges Building a Stronger & Smarter Foundation Process Modeling We realized the problem was the process under the data: It couldn't handle unique workflows, so the team was forced to "hack" their way through inconsistent statuses, with personalized one-off workarounds. The tech didn't support how real work actually got done. So we rolled up our sleeves and mapped the full investment lifecycle. After validating the risks, we aligned leadership with our plan for a full CRM migration. Building a Stronger & Smarter Foundation Data Modeling One point of confusion was that the old CRM lumped requests and transactions into the same bucket. We split the data into two clear types inside HubSpot. We wrangled around 850,000 activity records, then categorized each as a call, task, note, ticket, etc. It was messy work, but the end result worth it: Clean, structured data that actually made sense. Building a Stronger & Smarter Foundation Systems Integration We made sure everything functioned the way real users need it to. QA and UAT sessions helped us catch issues early and confirm that features felt right in practice. We took advantage of HubSpot's new feature in renaming native objects: their "Deals" became NDTCO's "Transactions." Now, the CRM speaks the client's language. By launch, everything clicked together like it was born to work this way. Building a Stronger & Smarter Foundation Project Management "Project management didn't need to be a heavy-handed approach," BearPeaker Mik Nielsen explained. "Especially since it is a small company." So she focused on the basics: A project plan A light-weight schedule R.A.C.I. to identify team members and approvers Monthly executive updates ... and a weekly meeting with the core team. Instead of reinventing what the client already had, we built on their existing roadmap to fit how they worked naturally. "Best. Collaboration. Ever." "Best. Collaboration. Ever." "Best. Collaboration. Ever." "Best. Collaboration. Ever." - Kevin Dodson, CEO of New Direction Trust Company - Kevin Dodson, CEO of New Direction Trust Company - Kevin Dodson, CEO of New Direction Trust Company - Kevin Dodson, CEO of New Direction Trust Company HubSpot Migration The Results After months of fine-tuning, data wrangling, and teamwork, here’s where we landed: 5 Million Data records migrated $600k Saved for the client 86% Cleaner, more actionable data 1 Solid foundation 🎉 We turn complexity into clarity.
