The following considerations should be considered regarding the data model for the broker web portal:

The Broker Assistant should bemodeled as a Contact. Then, leverage Contact to Multiple Account features if this assistant needs to work for multiple brokers. This is because Contacts are records that represent individuals who are associated with an account. By using Contacts, the consultant can capture the personal information of the broker assistants and relate them to their employers. By using Contact to Multiple Accounts features, the consultant can enable a contact to have relationships with multiple accounts and specify different roles and start and end dates for each relationship.

Brokers need to be modeled as Account and Contact individually, as each broker is a legal entity in Salesforce. Then, use a Group to model their company. This is because Accounts are records that represent business entities or organizations that are involved in business transactions with your company. By using Accounts, the consultant can capture the business information of each broker and treat them as legal entities in Salesforce. By using Contacts, theconsultant can capture the personal information of each broker and relate them to their accounts. By using Groups, which are records that represent collections of accounts or contacts that share financial goals or characteristics, the consultant can modelthe broker company and associate multiple brokers with it

 In an existing Financial Services Cloud org using the individual account model, custom objects are used to represent other assets, liabilities, and goals. These objects are related to the Account object via lookuprelationships. For example:

The Other Asset object is used to represent non-financial assets owned by an account holder, such as real estate properties, vehicles, or jewelry.

The Other Liability object is used to represent non-financial liabilities owed byan account holder, such as mortgages, loans, or taxes.

The Financial Goal object is used to represent financial objectives pursued by an account holder, such as retirement planning, education funding, or debt reduction. Verified References: : Salesforce Help Article [10] : Salesforce Help Article [11] : Salesforce Help Article [12]

The following considerations indicate that a new Salesforce org is the better choice for implementing Financial Services Cloud:

The bank wants to use this project as an opportunity to retire customization. A new org will allow the bank to start fresh and avoid carrying over unnecessary or outdated customization that may conflict with Financial Services Cloud features or best practices.

The current implementation is using a product-centric view and the bank wants to move to a customer-centric view. A new org will allow the bank to adopt the Financial ServicesCloud data model, which is designed to provide a holistic view of the customer and their relationships, goals, financial accounts, activities, and interactions.

Existing business capabilities and processes can be redesigned to deliver a higher business impact. A new org will allow the bank to leverage the Financial Services Cloud capabilities, such as Action Plans, Relationship Groups, Rollup By Lookup, Service Processes, etc., to optimize their business processes and enhance their customer experience.

The order of uploading Salesforce objects during an FSC data migration is important to ensure data integrity and avoid errors. The recommended order is:

Accounts and contacts: These are the coreobjects that store the basic information about the customers and their relationships. They should be uploaded first to establish the foundationfor the FSC data model4.

Financial accounts: These are the custom objects that store the financial information about the customers, such as balances, interest rates, fees, and transactions. They should be uploaded after the accounts and contacts, and linked to them using lookupfields5.

Account groups and households: These are the custom objects that group the accountsand contacts based on common attributes or relationships, such as family members or business partners. They should be uploaded after the financial accounts, and linked to them using junction objects6.

Compliant Data Sharing (CDS)is a feature of Financial Services Cloud that lets administrators and compliance managers configure advanced data-sharing rules so that they can improve compliance with regulations and company policies. Some of the things to consider when implementing CDSin Financial Services Cloud (FSC) are:
