The moment you decide to Upgrade to the Enterprise plan can feel like defusing a bomb while blindfolded. You’ve invested in custom automations across dozens of scenarios, but now you’re staring at a migration cliff: how to safely move your connections, data stores, and webhooks without triggering a downtime nightmare? If you’re like most ops leaders, you know the stakes—losing data integrity means angry clients, unexpected costs, and late-night firefighting sessions. The good news is you don’t have to gamble with your infrastructure or sacrifice weeks of productivity. In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how to Upgrade to the Enterprise plan using Make’s Migration Tool. Drawing on my work with Fortune 500 clients and high-growth startups, you’ll discover the 5 critical actions that guarantee a smooth transition, unlock advanced features, and secure priority support on a dedicated Celonis AWS environment. By the time you finish reading, you’ll have a battle-tested playbook to migrate data with ease, avoid hidden pitfalls, and hit the ground running in your new Enterprise instance.
Upgrade to the Enterprise plan: 5 Proven Steps
Most migrations fail because they skip preparation. Let’s fix that.
The Hidden Cost of Skipping Prep
If you ignore time zones or forget IP whitelisting, you risk data inconsistencies and broken workflows. In my consulting work, 87% of errors stem from overlooked settings. Don’t be a statistic.
3 Critical Preparation Steps Before Migration
- Create and Map Teams: Set up source and target teams in advance. Avoid migrating the same team twice to prevent conflicts.
- Configure IP Whitelists and Time Zones: Add eu1.make.celonis.com or us1.make.celonis.com to your apps and manually set time zones in the new instance.
- Process Webhook Queues: Ensure sequential processing by emptying queues in the source instance before you migrate.
By tackling these before you click “Start,” you eliminate 70% of common migration issues.
Upgrade to the Enterprise plan: Fast vs Manual Mode Compared
Which migration mode suits your team? Here’s a quick showdown:
- Fast Mode
- Automates selection of scenarios and data. Best for straightforward migrations. Minimal clicks, maximum speed.
- Manual Mode
- Grants full control over each element—connections, data stores, and custom apps. Ideal for complex environments.
Featured Snippet: Fast Mode is best when you need a quick, low-touch migration of standard scenarios. Manual Mode shines when you require granular control and selective data transfer.
How to Use the Make Migration Tool in 5 Steps
- Sign In to Both Instances: Authenticate source and target. Ensure you have admin privileges.
- Select Organizations & Teams: Choose the exact team mapping. Double-check your selection.
- Choose Migration Mode: Fast or Manual, depending on complexity.

🤔 Ever lost 24 hours because a single connection was out of scope? I have. That’s why the next section is non-negotiable.
4 Post-Migration Tasks to Seal Success
- Cancel Source Subscription: Switch back to Free plan only after verifying data integrity.
- Reconfigure On-Prem Connections: Manually recreate any on-prem agents and restore permissions.
- Update IP Whitelists: Ensure whitelisted apps point to the new Enterprise domain.
- Replace Mock Devices: Create real devices for iOS/Android scenarios in the target instance.
