Actionable Relationship Center (ARC) is a tool that aSalesforce FSC consultant can recommend to a wealth manager who needs to make sense of complex client relationships and discover new business opportunities. ARC is an advanced visualization engine that provides a holistic view of customers and their relationships with actionable insights, all in one place5. ARC helps users understand relationships among people and businesses by presenting them in interactive components, such as graphs, cards, lists, and filters6. ARC also allows users to perform actions on the customer data, such as creating tasks, sending emails, or updating records7.

The following considerations should be considered regarding the data model for the broker web portal:

The Broker Assistant should bemodeled as a Contact. Then, leverage Contact to Multiple Account features if this assistant needs to work for multiple brokers. This is because Contacts are records that represent individuals who are associated with an account. By using Contacts, the consultant can capture the personal information of the broker assistants and relate them to their employers. By using Contact to Multiple Accounts features, the consultant can enable a contact to have relationships with multiple accounts and specify different roles and start and end dates for each relationship.

Brokers need to be modeled as Account and Contact individually, as each broker is a legal entity in Salesforce. Then, use a Group to model their company. This is because Accounts are records that represent business entities or organizations that are involved in business transactions with your company. By using Accounts, the consultant can capture the business information of each broker and treat them as legal entities in Salesforce. By using Contacts, theconsultant can capture the personal information of each broker and relate them to their accounts. By using Groups, which are records that represent collections of accounts or contacts that share financial goals or characteristics, the consultant can modelthe broker company and associate multiple brokers with it

A suitable use case for Flow Builder is to collect input from internal users with a form placed on a Lightning page or launched by a button.

To ensure the correct profiles and permissions for an API integration between Salesforce and a risk control system, the consultant should do the following steps:

Create a dedicatedIntegration User that will be used to authenticate and authorize the API calls between Salesforce and the risk control system. The Integration User should have a unique username, password, and security token that are not shared with other users or systems.The Integration User should also have the minimum permissions and access settings required to perform the integration tasks.

Create a new custom profile and ensure API Only is selected. The API Only option restricts the user from logging in to the Salesforce user interface, but allows the user to access the Salesforce API. The custom profile should also have the appropriate object permissions, field-level security, record types, page layouts, and other settings that are relevant for the integration. The custom profile should be assigned to the Integration User.

To document the current state business process for implementing Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, the consultant should create an end-to-end visual map of the process using personas, systems, inputs, and outcomes. A visual map is a tool that can help illustrate the flow of a business process from start to finish, showing the steps, decisions, and dependencies involved in each stage. A visual map can also include personas, systems, inputs, and outcomes to providemore context and detail for each step of the process.

You can then use this field to create reports and dashboards that show aggregated data for each group.

A gap analysis is a key step in identifying different business processes and outlining encompassing system flows based on the existing environment when setting up Salesforce Financial Services Cloud (FSC). A gap analysis is a method of comparing the current state of a system or process with the desired future state and identifying the gaps or differences between them. By conducting a gap analysis, a consultant can understand the customer’s painpoints, requirements,and expectations and design a solution that leverages the best practices and features of Salesforce FSC.

To prevent the data import from creating duplicates when importing records from a system outside of Salesforce, you should use External ID. External ID is a custom field type that can be used to store unique identifiers from other systems. You can use External ID to match records during data import and avoid creating duplicate records in Salesforce. You can also use External ID to enable upsert operations, which can insertnew records or update existing records based on the External ID value.
