    Hello,

    We are using the CRM solution of a competitor. It's running on a windows NT server and using an SQL database.

    I would like to know what are currently the available ways to directly migrate those data to CRM 2013.

    I'm looking for the easiest way and the cheapest one as our historical data are nothing else than regular data like company names, phone numbers, etc.

    If you have some links, I would be pleased if you could share them.

    Best regards

    Here are some of the frequently used data migration options

    1. CRM's in-built Import data wizard: This works best in when you have small amount of data and is easy to use. You can read more about it here and in implementation guide.

    2. Third party tools like Scribe make it easy to import data from other CRMs with pre-defined mappings etc however, they come at a cost.

    3. Custom built solution using CRM Webservices & SSIS packages are used in a complex data transformation requirement or high data loads.

    Based on your description, Import Wizard might be something that you could look at.
