Universal Containers (UC) has a multi-cloud implementation in place covering Service Cloud and Experience Cloud. As part of UC's support process, service agents often need to search across an external ERP that hosts the order information of its customers. They would like to see their ERP data in Salesforce but IT is weary of duplicating data across systems.
Which integration mechanism should achieve this with standard capabilities?
In Universal Containers' architecture, Salesforce serves as the System of Record (SOR) for sales data such as Opportunities and Quotes, centralizing sales activities and data management. Orders, once confirmed, transition to the ERP system, where they are processed and fulfilled, making the ERP the SOR for order, invoice, and payment data. This delineation ensures clear data ownership and process efficiency, with Salesforce facilitating customer engagement and sales processes, and the ERP managing financial transactions and fulfillment, in line with best practices for leveraging Salesforce in a multi-system environment.
