Salesforce Certified Data Architect — Question 53

Universal Containers is migrating individual customers (B2C) data from legacy systems to Salesforce. There are millions of customers stored as accounts and contacts in the legacy database.
Which object model should a data architect configure within Salesforce?

Answer options

• A. Leverage a custom person account object in Salesforce.
• B. Leverage a custom account and contact object in Salesforce.
• C. Leverage the standard account and contact object in Salesforce.
• D. Leverage the person account object in Salesforce.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the person account object in Salesforce is specifically designed for individual customers, combining account and contact functionalities. Options A and B are incorrect as creating custom objects would complicate the integration process, and option C does not cater to the specific needs of individual customers that person accounts fulfill.
