A retail company wants to integrate Salesforce with a third-party inventory system. The integration requires complex data transformations, orchestration across multiple APIs, and the ability to handle different message formats. The company has a small IT team with limited Apex development skills. Which approach should the architect recommend?

Use External Services to invoke the inventory system's APIs from Flow.

Use Salesforce Connect to access the inventory system in real-time.

Build custom Apex REST endpoints and callouts for each API.

Use MuleSoft Anypoint Platform as middleware to orchestrate the integration.

A healthcare provider needs to update Salesforce records in real-time when patient information changes in an external EHR system. The EHR system exposes a REST API that supports webhooks. The integration must be low-latency and the provider wants to avoid building custom middleware. Which Salesforce technology should the architect recommend?

Use Connect REST API to create a custom object that mirrors the EHR data.

Use Bulk API to periodically pull patient data from the EHR system.

Use External Services to invoke the EHR REST API from a Flow triggered by a custom webhook receiver.

Use Change Data Capture to capture EHR changes and stream them to Salesforce.

A global company needs to integrate Salesforce with multiple regional ERP systems. Each ERP system has different data formats and APIs. The company wants to centralize the integration logic and ensure consistent error handling and monitoring. The company has a central IT team but limited budget for new tools. Which approach should the architect recommend?

Use custom Apex integrations for each ERP system.

Use Salesforce Connect to access all ERP systems via OData.

Use Platform Events to standardize data from all ERP systems.

Use MuleSoft as a central integration platform to connect to all ERP systems.

An architect is evaluating integration technologies for a project where the external system must receive near-real-time updates whenever a Salesforce record changes. Which requirement is most critical to identify during scenario analysis?

The total data volume to be transferred

The acceptable latency for data delivery

The authentication method used by the external system

The maximum number of API calls allowed per day
