Third Party System Data

Question 1

The director of sales at Prestige Worldwide has recently become frustrated that all order data is stored in the third party system and is not accessible in Salesforce. How can an app builder make sure that data from the third party system can be viewed in Salesforce? Choose 1

A. Export the data from the third party system and imported into Salesforce
B. Create an external object in Salesforce to access the data
C. Create a custom integration for the third party system
D. Purchase an application from the appexchange to integrate both systems

Answer 1

B

An external object in Salesforce is a custom object where each field on the page layout maps to data stored outside of Salesforce and in our question we are looking to display data from a third-party system in Salesforce.

Exporting the data from a third-party system would mean the data would always be out of date in Salesforce.

C and D are not options because Salesforce already provides standard functionality for viewing data from external data sources.
