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.

After a Solution Architect presents the Salesforce User Attribute Chart, the project owner has someconcerns and questions regarding the Role Hierarchy choices for the executive assistant who reports to all of the VPs. There are also questions about the ideal license given to the CEO who provides executive oversight and reviews the Executive Dashboard atthe end of each accounting period. There are some restrictions on budget spend for overall licenses, and the user base is forecasted to continue to grow.
Which two explanations should the Solution Architect use to address the concerns and gain final acceptance?
Choose 2 answers
In addressing the concerns about role hierarchy and licensing for the executive assistant and CEO, the following explanations are provided:
B) The CEO should have a Sales Cloud license given that the role is a processor of information and should be at the top of the Role Hierarchy. A Sales Cloud license provides the CEO with full access to the necessary data and functionalities to oversee and make informed decisions. Being at the top of the Role Hierarchy ensures access to all relevant data across the organization.
C) The Role Hierarchy should mirror the organization chart. Therefore, sharing settings need to be put in place for the executive assistant given the need to have access to the data of all of the VPs being supported. This approach maintains the organizational structure within Salesforce and uses sharing settings to grant the executive assistant appropriate access levels, ensuring data visibility across the VPs without disrupting the hierarchy.
Salesforce's documentation on licensing options and role hierarchy provides guidance on configuring access and visibility in a way that aligns with organizational structures and roles, ensuring efficient and secure data management.
Universal Containers (UC) currently utilizes Sales Cloud and ExperienceCloud for its customers. For the next phase in its digital transformation, UC would like to enable its vast dealer network with the kinds of tools its direct Sales teams are currently using. UC is considering Partner Communities (PRM) on Experience Cloud.UC's concern at the moment is making sure that its dealer network only gets access to the opportunities they themselves bring to UC or that UC submits to the dealer to close. This is a concern for the VP of direct sales who has issues with bringing PRM inat all.
What is the initial suggestion a Solution Architect should provide to make Partner Communities work for UC?
For Universal Containers to ensure that its dealer network only accesses relevant opportunities, the external sharing model in Salesforce Experience Cloud offers a tailored solution. This model allows for distinct sharing settings between internal and external users, enabling granular control over data accessibility. By leveraging this model, UC can configure sharing rules and access levels specific to Partner Community users, ensuring dealers only see opportunities they are directly involved with. This approach addresses the VP of direct sales' concerns by safeguarding internal opportunity visibility while effectively enabling dealers through PRM capabilities. Salesforce's documentation on sharing models and communities best practices underscores the importance of utilizing external sharing models to maintain data security and integrity in collaborative environments like Partner Communities.
Universal Containers (UC) u selling containers globally via distributorsand is experiencing significant double-digit growth year-over-year. UC uses a centralized ERP system that holds the financial information of the distributors. The ERP system is siloed but offers connectivity via APIs. The account managers need to referencethe financial information stored in the ERP while approving an order of a distributor inside Salesforce. The financial information of a distributor may change ad-hoc during the day in the ERP system and account managers need the latest data in front of them.
What should a Solution Architect recommend while designing an integrated, scalable solution to meet UC's needs?
Salesforce integration patterns are strategies for common integration scenarios between Salesforce and other systems1.
The five most common Salesforce integration patterns are: Migration, Broadcast, Aggregation, Bi-directional synchronization, Correlation23.
The financial information of a distributor is an example of data virtualization, which is a type of correlation pattern4.
Data virtualization involvesretrieving data on-demand from a remote system via API and displaying it as read-only using a lightning component4.
