Key stakeholders from both systems should collaborate with the Architect to determine which
system is the system of record on a field level is what the Architect should do to achieve this goal of
integrating two different systems with customer records into the Salesforce Account object using
Master Data Management. The system of record is the authoritative source of truth for a given entity
or field in a given context. Different systems may have different levels of accuracy, completeness,
timeliness, or relevance for different fields. Therefore, it is important to involve key stakeholders
from both systems who have knowledge and expertise about their data quality and business needs
to decide which system should be the system of record for each field. The Architect should facilitate
this collaboration and document the decisions and rationale for each field. The other options are not
correct or feasible, as they would either delegate or abdicate the responsibility of determining the
system of record, ignore or disregard the input from key stakeholders, or assume or impose a default
system of record without considering the data quality and business needs.
