Universal Containers (UC) has a multi-cloud implementation in place covering Service Cloud and Experience Cloud. As part of UC's support process, service agents often need to search across an external ERP that hosts the order information of its customers. They would like to see their ERP data in Salesforce but IT is weary of duplicating data across systems.
Which integration mechanism should achieve this with standard capabilities?
Answer : A
According to an online document1,Salesforce Connectis a standard integration mechanism that allows you toview, search, and modify data that's stored outside your Salesforce org. With Salesforce Connect, you can access data from external ERP systems in real time without copying or synchronizing it.
Salesforce Connect is the optimal choice for integrating Salesforce with an external ERP system without duplicating data. Salesforce Connect allows real-time access to external data sources, presenting them within Salesforce as external objects that look and behave much like standard Salesforce objects but without storing the data in Salesforce. This approach addresses IT's concern about data duplication and enables service agents to view ERP data directly in Salesforce.
Reference to Salesforce Connect's capabilities and use cases are available in the Salesforce Developer Guide and Salesforce Help documentation, which detail how Salesforce Connect can be used for real-time integration with external systems.
Different teams at Universal Containers (UC) are experiencing challenges using their existing tools. The Sales team can only access their application from the office, the Marketing team has to manually import leads coming from the website into their campaign tool, and the Support team lacks a communication history repository between email, social networks, and calls. The website was developed by the IT team, and the Legal team is responsible for the Consent Management Platform used to meet GDPR requirements.
UC wants to improve its relationship with customers, so a digital redesign program is starting with the goal of moving to Salesforce solutions.
Which three steps are necessary to set up a program roadmap?
Choose 3 answers
Answer : A, D, E
When setting up a program roadmap for a digital redesign program like the one Universal Containers (UC) is initiating, it's crucial to align the program with the overall business goals, understand the capacity of key teams, and prioritize customer-facing transformations. Therefore:
A) Identify the high-level workload capacity and planning of the IT and Legal teams. This step is essential to ensure that the IT and Legal teams can support the program, considering their current workload and the additional responsibilities that the Salesforce implementation will bring, especially in terms of integrating existing systems and ensuring GDPR compliance.
D) Prioritize the transformation of activities related to customers' interactions. Given UC's objective to improve its relationship with customers, focusing on transforming customer-facing processes first will have the most immediate and significant impact. This approach aligns with Salesforce's emphasis on customer relationship management.
E) Explain how the program contributes to the business's goals. Linking the digital redesign program to the broader business objectives of UC ensures that the initiative has clear strategic value and helps in securing buy-in from stakeholders across the organization.
Reference for these points can be found in Salesforce's own documentation on best practices for digital transformation and program management, such as the Salesforce Implementation Guide and resources available on the Salesforce Trailhead platform.
