Migration Made Simple: How to Switch from an In-House Build or a 3rd-Party Vendor to Stream Chat

In response to the economic pressures and the need for cost-effective scalability in tech solutions, many organizations are transitioning from existing in-app chat services to Stream, which offers a comprehensive suite of chat, video, feeds, and moderation capabilities. This shift is often driven by the desire to replace in-house solutions or switch from other vendors within the chat API ecosystem. Stream has developed a streamlined migration process that includes automation to facilitate data syncing, exporting, and migration, minimizing friction and ensuring efficiency. The program typically completes migrations in four weeks or less, although more complex migrations can take up to 60 days. Stream provides a Joint Action Plan to help customers mitigate risks and align expectations, and offers supportive resources, like migration guides and consultation services, to assist in the transition. Migration services are offered free to Enterprise customers, emphasizing Stream's commitment to easing the transition for businesses seeking improved real-time communication solutions.
