Q: 18
[Service Cloud Solution Design]
Cloud Kicks plans to deploy Service Cloud to customers who will have different levels of support. The
consultant is unsure whether Entitlements
only or Entitlements plus Service Contracts is the correct solution.
Which question should the consultant ask to determine the preferred solution?

Guessing B. Feels like asking about periodic/annual support gets at whether Service Contracts are needed for renewals. Not totally sure though.
B tbh, because periodic support and annual renewals are classic use cases for Service Contracts. Entitlements alone don't handle renewals well, so if that's mentioned in the customer's requirements, contracts are almost always needed. If anyone's seen a different design succeed, let me know.
C
I actually thought C was the right one. If you need to manage several entitlement versions for each customer or product, I figured you'd want Service Contracts involved too. Not totally convinced, but managing versions sounds like a contracts thing to me.
I get where C could make sense, but B is the key here. If the support model is based on periods with annual renewals, that's when Service Contracts come in. Entitlements alone are more for straightforward usage without renewal cycles. Pretty sure that's the Salesforce-recommended approach for this scenario, but open to other thoughts if someone has a real-world example where that's not true.
Option C, Multiple entitlement versions sounds like contracts, so I’d ask about that. Not 100% sure, but that’s what I’d check first.
Be respectful. No spam.
