Why Staying on Bitrix24 is Dangerous
Besides moral and ethical aspects, using Russian software poses direct risks:
- Data Security: Your customer databases, financial information, and trade secrets could be accessible to the aggressor country's special services.
- Legal Risks: By decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, the activities of Russian companies, including 1C and Bitrix, are restricted in Ukraine.
- Lack of Updates and Support: You won't receive official support and updates, making the system vulnerable.

Preparing for Migration
The key to successful migration is thorough preparation. We conducted a full audit of the client's processes, identified the key functionality to be replicated, and created a detailed data transfer plan.
- Process Audit: We identified which modules (CRM, Tasks, Drive) were critical.
- Data Export: We developed scripts to export contacts, companies, deals, tasks, and all communication history.
- Choosing a New System: After analysis, we settled on Planfix as the most flexible solution that could replicate the client's complex process logic.
Results
The migration was successful and completed in a short time. The client's team continued to work in a much more flexible and secure system without losing any data. This is not just a tool replacement, but a step towards digital independence and business security. We offer a similar service as part of our "Secure Migration" package.
