Board Insights & Common Pitfalls
Generalized Judge Questions
- Global Expansion: “You chose a Single Org strategy. How will you handle data residency laws for the expansion into Canada and the USA?”
- Active User Enforcement: “The external ‘Speciality Plan’ app only allows active users to log in. How does your SAML flow enforce the Salesforce ‘Active’ flag?”
- Installer Managers: “Why give external Installer Managers a Partner Community license instead of Customer Community Plus? Is the access to Leads/Opps justified?”
- Person Account Trade-offs: “Why choose Person Accounts for individual customers? How does this impact your integration with the legacy billing system?”
- Payment Consolidation: “How will you handle the ‘Chargent’ payment integration? Is it real-time or asynchronous, and how do you handle partial failures?”
Common Mistakes
- Ignoring Data Residency: Not mentioning Hyperforce or Shield Encryption when discussing the expansion into regulated North American regions.
- Role Hierarchy for Externals: External community users do not sit in the standard internal Role Hierarchy and require Sharing Sets/Groups. Forgetting this is a common miss.
- Point-to-Point Overload: Proposing direct integrations for the government website, billing, and Chargent instead of using an ESB for orchestration.
- License Under-provisioning: Giving standard CC licenses to users who need to manage Quotes or Service Work Orders (CCP or Partner licenses are required).
Strong Patterns
- SAML JIT Handler: Using a Just-in-Time handler to validate the user’s status and region before allowing the SSO assertion to pass to the external SP app.
- Phased System Consolidation: Proposing a regional rollout (Europe first, then US) to migrate from legacy systems into the global Salesforce template.
- Field Service for Installers: Using FSL for the complex installer scheduling and offline mobile requirements mentioned in the expansion goals.
Strategic Insights
- The “Multi-Region Consolidation” Test: Green Roof Systems probes the ability to balance a global process with local regional variations (multi-currency, local tax).
- Identity as a Gatekeeper: Success depends on proving you can control access to 3rd-party apps (the SP app) using Salesforce as the Identity Provider.
Additional Notes
- Global expansion scenario focusing on field service, multi-system consolidation, and identity management.
