As crucial bridge between business and technology, a B2B Solution Architect should have adequate knowledge and experience with Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Revenue Cloud, Field Service, B2B Commerce, and Marketing Cloud – as well as other skills such as ERP integrations. Simply put, a Salesforce B2B Solution Architect makes multi-cloud solutions on the Salesforce Platform that fuel individualized, frictionless B2B client experiences that increase commercial value.

Instead of being singularly focussed on specific products, B2B Solution Architects read up on use cases such as “Cart to Quote”, “Field Service Lifecycle”, “Asset Lifecycle Management”, which span multiple Salesforce products.
