Review Data Model and Management

Learning Objectives

After completing this unit, you’ll be able to:

  • Given the Salesforce supported standard object definitions for commerce objects (profile, orders, products), articulate how key business entities relate between systems of record and systems of engagement.
  • Given a set of business objectives and priorities, recommend an appropriate sequence for system integration, data exchanges, and process updates to satisfy known requirements, with recommendations and potential impact to overall program delivery.
  • Given a set of customer requirements, articulate the privacy management features across multiple clouds, when to consider a custom solution vs using OOTB features.
  • Given a scenario, identify appropriate systems of record and describe how you would extend the standard data model for high volume processing, articulate system limitations, and recommend preferred methods for integration between various data formats.
  • Given a scenario that requires knowledge of common data migration strategies and standard Salesforce data migration tools, demonstrate best practices on how to transfer data between products and development environments.

Key Topics

This unit prepares you for the Data Models and Management section of the Salesforce B2C Solution Architect exam, which makes up 25% of the overall exam. This section of the exam tests these topics.

  • Unified Individual ID across systems
  • Identity constraints implementing multi-cloud solutions
  • Data architecture and segregation across systems
  • Data modeling, limits, and data storage based on systems
  • Data quality and migration strategy
  • Recommendations on data loading based on volume and type
  • Understanding deployments and integration with legacy systems

This unit provides a number of interactive, real-world, scenario-based questions that are a lot like the ones you'll encounter as a Salesforce B2C solution architect. Looking at these scenarios helps prepare you to take the Data Models and Management section of the Salesforce B2C Solution Architect exam. As you tackle the practice questions, you get immediate feedback on your answers, along with detailed information on why your answers are correct (or incorrect).
