[All Salesforce Certified B2B Solution Architect (Arch-301) Questions]

Mask Makers LLC has a traditional sales channel that uses an existing CPQ implementation to process orders. Customers frequently reorder previous purchases quickly and split the order into several deliveries for different locations. Additionally, these customers are given special pricing through Price Books m CPQ based on annual spending and other parameters. The customer currently makes their purchase by sending an email or calling their appointed sales representative, and then waits to receive a quote.

Mask Makers LLC wants to move away from this very manual and time-consuming process. The company wants to provide its customers with a personalized experience that is simplified and streamlined with existing special pricing visible and the option to self-serve- Mask Makers LLC would also like to deliver this within a short timeframe, as business must continue to grow.

Suggested Answer: A, C

A Salesforce Center of Excellence (COE) is a centralized division within your company that oversees and manages all aspects of the Salesforce instance, including projects, maintenance, and support12.A COE acts as a central governing body for the entire organization and funnels all decision making and product ownership through a single group2.By creating a COE, you can ensure that all development decisions will be made by internal resourceswho have direct relationships with stakeholders throughout the company12.

Another benefit of creating a COE is that knowledge of the solution will stay within the organization3.A COE provides leadership, best practices, research, support and training for Salesforce3.By having an internal team that is responsible for implementing and maintaining the solution, you can avoid relying on external vendors or consultants who may not have your best interests at heart or who may leave after the project is done4.

I'm a little confused on this one. I know we need to collect the most volatile data first, but I'm not sure if that's the event logs or the swap space. I'll have to think about this one a bit more.

Option D? Really? Who wants to build a custom integration when there's a perfectly good connector available? Sounds like a lot of unnecessary work to me.
