The book gives comprehensive guidance on data modeling, database design, data management, and data governance. It also provides an in-depth understanding of analyzing large volumes of data and migration. The best part of the book is the clear explanation of Salesforce data architect design, including account, contact, data APIs, and tuning performance. The final chapters include territory management and applying what was learned using practice questions and revision aids.

I would recommend Salesforce Data Architect Certification for anyone looking to prepare for the Data Architecture exam.It is one of the trickier certifications to pass but the author breaks down the information into logical sections and makes it easy to understand. Key concepts of data architecture are explained with real world examples that help to contextualise the topic. There are practice questions throughout the book and a full length practice exam at the end.It's exactly what you need to pass this certification.

I had to develop an MDM strategy for my client and I found the information in this book to be highly beneficial. The different options were presented in a straightforward way, with the pros and cons clearly stated. I intend to employ some of the strategies mentioned in the book to fulfil the MDM needs of our project.I highly recommend this book as a resource for learning about Salesforce data architecture.

This book is a very effective guide to the Salesforce Data Architecture examination - including a thorough run-down and orientation on the exam syllabus, providing plenty of real world and consulting examples to help illustrate points. Further reading is also provided in-context with chapters to help you dive deeper into topics, as well as providing summaries for key terms, dedicated practice Q&As, cheat sheets, and an introduction to Salesforce’s examination process.This book would have been a very welcome addition to my preparation for this examination!
