I think one benefit is that an External ID can reference an ID from another system, but I'm not sure if that's the only one.

Ugh, I'm drawing a blank on this one. I know External IDs are important, but I can't recall the specific advantages. I'll have to guess and hope I get at least one right.

Ah, I've got this! External IDs are super useful for improving performance on SOQL queries, and they can also be used to make external data visible in Salesforce Mobile. Those are the two key benefits I'll select.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know External IDs have something to do with integrating data from external systems, but I can't quite remember the specifics. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking for two benefits of using External IDs. I think I remember that External IDs can be used to reference an ID from another system, and they can also be used to create a unique key from two fields in Salesforce. I'll go with those two options.

Azure SQL Database seems like the simplest option to meet the requirements. It should allow linked server connections, and as a fully managed service, it would minimize administrative overhead.

Based on my understanding of the module integration, I think the Case and Program objects are the two that are directly connected. But I'm not 100% certain, so I'll review the requirements carefully.
