Multi-Org Strategy After Acquiring 5 Companies

By Avijit Patra14 min read

Design a future-proof Salesforce architecture when consolidating multiple orgs from acquisitions.

Assessment Phase


Before merging orgs, inventory:

  • Business processes and customizations per org
  • Data volume and quality
  • Integration dependencies
  • License types and user counts
  • Compliance requirements per region

    • Architecture Options


    1. **Hub-and-Spoke** — Master org with connected satellite orgs via Integration Hub

    2. **Gradual Consolidation** — Migrate one business unit at a time

    3. **Org Partitioning** — Separate orgs by region or business line with shared data layer (Data Cloud)


    Data Strategy


    Use Data Cloud as the unified customer layer while maintaining operational orgs during transition. Define canonical data models before migration.


    Governance


    Establish a Center of Excellence with release management, coding standards, and architecture review boards.
