Salesforce Integration Architect Syllabus:
| Section | Objectives | Weights |
| Evaluate the Current System Landscape | - Given a set of business requirements, identify the current system landscape and determine what standards, limitations, boundaries and protocols exist. - Given an existing system landscape, analyze for constraints and/or pain-points to satisfy a business requirement(s). - Given a set of requirements, evaluate the authentication and authorization needs based on the system landscape. |
8% |
| Evaluate Business Needs | - Given a use case, identify functional and non-functional requirements needed for integration. - Based on a given integration requirement, identify and classify data into Confidential/Secure/Public. - Given a use case, identify key factors for CRM success that should be included as integration requirements. - Given a use case, identify the business growth and regulatory factors that can impact choice of integration solutions. |
11% |
| Translate Needs to Integration Requirements | - Given an existing system landscape diagram, create an inventory of the systems and integration patterns. - Given a use case and business process, evaluate system and process constraints. - Given a use case, identify integration security / authentication / authorization requirements. - Given a use case, identify performance needs (volumes, response times, latency) and propose appropriate integration solutions that will meet business requirements. |
22% |
| Design Integration Solutions | - Given a use case, identify the integration pattern that meets business requirements. - Given a use case, define the components which create a solution that meets business requirements. - Given a use case, identify the trade-offs, limitations, and constraints that meet the proposed solution. - Given a use case that includes technical requirements, constraints or drivers, specify the appropriate Salesforce API(s) for the proposed solution. - Given a use case that includes technical requirements, constraints or drivers determine the standards, components, techniques, and security mechanism that should be used. |
28% |
| Build Solution | - Given a use case that includes technical requirements, constraints or drivers, identify the considerations when designing and implementing API(s), both Salesforce as an API provider and Salesforce as an API consumer. - Given a use case, identify the considerations when choosing the right option in making an outbound call to an external system. - Given a use case, describe what should be considered when building a scalable solution. - Given a use case, determine error handling for different integration options. - Given a use case, create a security solution for inbound or outbound integrations. - Given a use case, identify the factors needed to build resilience in an integration solution for system updates. |
23% |
| Maintain Integration | - Given an integration maintenance use case, identify performance monitoring needs for integration requirements. - Given a use case, identify the appropriate error handling, escalation and recovery procedures for a failed integration. - Given a use case, identify reporting needs for integration monitoring. |
