Universal Containers (UC) is about to embark on a digital transformation initiative to make all of its back-office systems data visible to employees, customers. And partners via front-office capabilities like Salesforce. The CIO has asked the team to identify their various systems, both back- and front-office, and correctly identify the proper use of those systems. The team plans to utilise the Systems of Engagement framework to classify their systems based on how they will be utilized within the enterprise architecture.
Salesforce is being utilued as the master for all sales data-like Opportunities, Quotes, and Cart data---and an ERP is the master for all invoice, order, and payment data.
How should the Solution Architect segment opportunities and order data in Salesforce*
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.
