Universal Containers (UC) acquired two companies. As part of its transformation and consolidation program, UC needs to bring all of its disparate partner strategies together and see what can be combined across all of its indirect sales channels. Each company currently has its own Salesforce environment utilizing Sales Cloud and Experience Cloud for Partners. Each company also follows its own unique business processes for partners. However, UC has recently developed a new vision and journey focused on a single indirect channel with a single Salesforce environment aligned to its corporate strategy.
Given UC's new journey for engaging its indirect channel, what are the next two steps the Solution Architect should recommend?
Choose 2 answers
To align the partner strategies of the acquired companies with UC's new vision for a single indirect channel, the Solution Architect should recommend:
A) Completely unify all the channel strategies under the acquiring company's brand and strategy. This ensures a cohesive approach and aligns with the goal of a unified partner strategy.
C) Create an adoption plan for the Direct Sales team to engage with the Indirect Sales team in a sell-with model within the new Partner Communities. This facilitates collaboration between direct and indirect sales channels, leveraging the strengths of both to drive sales in the unified environment.
Reference to these strategies can be found in Salesforce's best practices for managing partner relationships and communities, as detailed in Salesforce Partner Community documentation.
Universal Containers (UC) has a global support model and would like to open up a text message channel to support maintenance supervisors in countries around the world. UC also wants to leverage messaging to market to itsbusiness partners, and be able to track open and click-through rates just like it does with email campaigns.
What should a Solution Architect recommend to UC?
Marketing Cloud, with its MobileConnect application, is the recommended solution for sending text messages at scale, tracking open and click-through rates, and integrating with marketing campaigns. MobileConnect provides SMS capabilities that can support UC's global support model and marketing needs, offering features similar to those available for email campaigns. Salesforce Marketing Cloud documentation describes how MobileConnect can be used for such requirements.
Universal Containers (UC) is using Service Cloud and B2B Commerce to allow resellers the ability to purchase and support farming equipment UC maintains. UC has invested in smart devices which allows that equipment to inform UC when a part becomes faulty. The data from these devices goes to a public cloud solution where every row of sensor data is received every second from every device. There are 100,000 devices on various farms being actively used. The CIO would like this data to be connected to Salesforce in some manner.
What kind of integration method should a Solution Architect suggest to accommodate this need?
Platform Events are a Salesforce-nativefeature that enable apps to communicate inside and outside of Salesforce using an event-driven messaging architecture. An event producer creates an event and adds it onto the event bus, which operates as a queue with a strict chronological order. An eventconsumer subscribes to an event and gets notified when the event is put onto the event bus.
According to3, Platform Events can be used to defineand manage custom notifications within the Salesforce platform and in external apps. They can also be used to integrate Salesforce with external systems and devices in near real-time.
Therefore, a Solution Architect should suggest utilizing Platform Eventsbased on the devices' state change. This way, UC can connect the data from the smart devices to Salesforce in a scalable and reliable manner, without having to poll or query for changes constantly. UC can also use Platform Events to trigger workflows or actions based on the device status, such as creating a case, sending an email, or ordering a replacement part.

A Solution Architect is working with a complex enterprise architecture that supports multiple business processes. Many previous transformation projects have struggled because of the interdependencies between the Salesforce production environment and other systems, as well as a lack of documentation.
In which two ways can a Solution Architect gain a better understanding of the current state of the Salesforce production environment?
Choose 2 answers
Examine the details of the current configuration to see how it is set up2. This way, you can get a clear picture of what features and functionalities are being used, how they are configured, and how they support the business processes. You can also identify any technical debt, customizations,or integrations that may impact performance or scalability.
Work with the system administrator to identify who has the most knowledge of the current configuration2. This way, you can leverage their expertise and experience to understand how the system works and why it was designed that way. You can also get their feedback on any issues or challenges they face with maintaining or updating the system.

Universal Containers (UC) is undergoing a multi-year digital transformation across its Sales, Marketing, Fulfillment, and Accounting channels. Based on UC's initial success using MuleSoft's API-led approach as its integration strategy, UC chose Salesforce for its transformation. The Solution Architect assigned to the project has just begun pre-planning for the first phase with UC's Implementation team.
Which document should the Solution Architect ask for to get an overview of the customer's current infrastructure so they can begin the first phase of the digital transformation?
a reference architecture diagram is a document that shows the high-level view of the customer's current infrastructure, including the systems, applications, data sources, integrations, and security layers. A reference architecture diagram also indicates which system is the system of record for each data entity and how data flows between systems.
A reference architecture diagram is useful for a Solution Architect to get an overview of the customer's current infrastructure so they can begin the first phase of the digital transformation. A reference architecture diagram can help identify gaps, risks, dependencies, and opportunities for improvement in the existing landscape. It can also serve as a baseline for designing future state solutions that leverage Salesforce products and features.
