Question 4

Universal Containers uses multiple Salesforce orgs for its different lines of business (LOBs). In a recent analysis, the architect found that UC could have a more complete view of its customers by gathering customer data from different orgs.

What two options can an architect recommend to accomplish the customer 360-degree view?

Implement a Hub-and-Spoke multi-org strategy by consolidating customer data in a single org, which will be the master of customer data, and using integration strategies to let the LOBs orgs read and write from it.
Implement a Single Package multi-org strategy by developing and deploying to all orgs a managed package which reads and consolidates customer 360-degree view from the different orgs.
Implement a Complete Graph multi-org strategy by allowing each org to connect directly to every other, reading and writing customer data from the orgs where it has been originally created.
Migrate from multi-org to single-org strategy, consolidating customer data in the process.

The sales team will use a specific function of the service product, but the architect wants to ensure that this team will only use the functions exposed by the service team. No other team will use these same functions.

What should an architect recommend?

Create two second-generation managed packages with the same namespace and set the methods that should be shared with the @namespaceAccessible annotation.
Create two managed packages with Sales and Service namespaces. Set the methods to be shared with the @salesAccessible annotation.
