Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Marketing Cloud with multiple business units connected to multiple existing Salesforce orgs with Marketing Cloud Connect is the option that a Solution Architect should recommend to meet the university's needs. Marketing Cloud allows the university to create and execute personalized marketing campaigns across various channels and audiences. Multiple business units enable the university to have separate sub-accounts for each branded school or department, with different permissions, settings, and content. Multiple existing Salesforce orgs allow the university to maintain their existing finances, business processes, and strategies for each college or school. Marketing Cloud Connect enables the integration between Marketing Cloud and Salesforce orgs, allowing for data synchronization, cross-cloud reporting, and journey activation.

Hold on, did someone say 'remove duplicate contacts nightly'? That's like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. Option A is a disaster waiting to happen!

Option B gets my vote. Keeping the Service Cloud Contact ID as the unique identifier is a smart move. Plus, it ensures the customer is created if they don't already exist. Solid choice!

Wow, Option D is bold! Sending the receipt directly from the POS to Marketing Cloud without involving Service Cloud? That's a gutsy move, but I'm not sure it's the safest approach.
