Salesforce Certified Data Architect — Question 71

Universal Containers is using Salesforce for Opportunity management and enterprise resource planning (ERP) for order management. Sales reps do not have access to the ERP and have no visibility into order status.
What solution should a data architect recommend to give the sales team visibility into order status?

Answer options

• A. Leverage Canvas to bring the order management UI in to the Salesforce tab.
• B. Build real-time integration to pull order line items into Salesforce when viewing orders.
• C. Build batch jobs to push order line items to Salesforce.
• D. Leverage Salesforce Connect to bring the order line item from the legacy system to Salesforce.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Salesforce Connect allows real-time access to external data without needing to store it in Salesforce, providing the sales team with immediate visibility into order status. Option A does not provide direct access to data, B requires constant data pulling, and C involves delays due to batch processing, which may not meet the sales team's need for real-time visibility.
