Answers
C.
Create a customer data base and use this id in all systems.
D.
Create a custom field as external id to maintain the customer Id from the MDM solution.
Answers
D.
Create a custom field as external id to maintain the customer Id from the MDM solution.
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

To help uniquely identify customer across multiple systems, a data architect should recommend creating a custom field as external ID to maintain the customer ID from the MDM solution. An external ID is a custom field that has the ''External ID'' attribute enabled, which means that it contains unique record identifiers from a system outside of Salesforce. By using the customer ID from the MDM solution as an external ID in Salesforce CRM, Contract Management system, and Marketing solution, the data architect can ensure that each customer can be easily identified and integrated across these systems. Option A is incorrect because storing the Salesforce ID in all the solutions to identify the customer will not work if the customer records are created or updated in other systems besides Salesforce CRM. Option B is incorrect because creating a custom object that will serve as a cross reference for the customer ID will require additional configuration effort and may not be consistent with the actual customer records in each system. Option C is incorrect because creating a customer database and using this ID in all systems will require additional infrastructure cost and maintenance effort.
