Which three relevant details should a Salesforce Integration Architect seek to specifically solve for integration architecture needs of the program? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Integration Style - Process-based, Data-based, and Virtual integration.

• E. Core functional and non-functional requirements for User Experience design, Encryption needs, Community, and license choices.

Correct answer: A, B, C

Explanation

Options A, B, and C focus on the technical aspects of integration that are crucial for understanding how data flows between systems, the timing of those updates, and the specifics of the systems involved. Option D pertains more to human resources and governance rather than the technical architecture, while option E discusses user experience and security, which are less critical to the integration architecture specifics.
