Universal Containers (UC) has gone through the design phase of its large initiative involving multiple Salesforce clouds and is about to go into the build phase. The CIO would prefer to create an internal Center of Excellence (CoE) to implement the solution versus make a third-party organisation responsible for the entire build given that they have the talent internally to support the initiative.
Which two recommendations should a Solution Architect make toward creating a CoC?
Choose 2 answers
A Salesforce Center of Excellence (COE) is a centralized division within your company that oversees and manages all aspects of the Salesforce instance, including projects, maintenance, and support12.A COE acts as a central governing body for the entire organization and funnels all decision making and product ownership through a single group2.By creating a COE, you can ensure that all development decisions will be made by internal resourceswho have direct relationships with stakeholders throughout the company12.
Another benefit of creating a COE is that knowledge of the solution will stay within the organization3.A COE provides leadership, best practices, research, support and training for Salesforce3.By having an internal team that is responsible for implementing and maintaining the solution, you can avoid relying on external vendors or consultants who may not have your best interests at heart or who may leave after the project is done4.
UniversalContainers (UC) needs to support its customers via email, phone, and chat. Service agents are only scheduled to support one communication channel for each shift. UC has implemented a service-focused community but only wants customers to inquire about service in the community through chat.
Which three options should a Solution Architect recommend to meet the requirements defined above?
Choose 3 answers
Experience Cloud2. This way, you can create a service-focused community for your customers using Experience Cloud Sites. You can also customize the look and feel of your community and integrate it with other Salesforce products and features.
Omni-Channel with defined presence, routing configurations, and Service Channels3. This way, you can manage your service agents' availability and workload across different communication channels such as email, phone, and chat. You can also use service channels to define which objects and records are routed to your agents using Omni-Channel.
Customer Community with Live Agent23. This way, you can enable chat support for your customers in the community using Live Agent. You can also configure chat buttons, invitations, pre-chat forms, and other settings for Live Agent.

As part of its solution to accelerate overall sales. Universal Containers (UC) has chosen to implement a CPQ solution using Salesforce CPQ. As part of the CPQ solution, there is a requirement to retain UC's ERP as the Pricing and Product master.
UC's business process results in Products and Pricing being updated sporadically once a week, and then on a much larger scale on a monthly basis, which could result in a large amount of records that need to be updated in Salesforce.
Whichstrategy should the Solution Architect choose to handle this scenario?
Salesforce CPQ is an extension of the Salesforce CRM that automates the generation and processing of quotes, orders, and contracts. It enables your sales team to create quotes quickly and with minimal errors and efforts.
Salesforce CPQ can be integrated with ERP systems by converting Salesforce CPQ lead-to-order data into transactional data. This allows ERP systems to take over matching data and use it for accounting functions.
an external ETL tool can be used to batch load the records into Salesforce from the ERP system. This can handle large amounts of records that need to be updated sporadically or on a monthly basis.

Given the sporadic nature of updates and potentially large volumes of records that need to be updated in Salesforce, using an external ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tool to batch load records is the most efficient strategy. ETL tools are designed to handle large data volumes and can schedule batch loads during off-peak hours to minimize the impact on system performance. This strategy aligns with Salesforce's own recommendations for handling bulk data operations, as documented in Salesforce's Bulk API Developer Guide.
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.

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.222.0.object_reference.meta/api/big_object.htm
Big objects are a way to store and manage massive amounts of data on the Salesforce platform12.
Big objects support custom Salesforce Lightning and Visualforce components rather than standard UI elements3.
Big objects do not support picklist fields, so they need to be loaded as text fields into the big object2.
Big objects do not support standard SOQL queries, so they need to use Async SOQL to query data from them2.
