Therequirements that the integration architect should evaluate while designing the integration needs of this project are:

Assess security requirements for internal systems and decide Integration methods that support the requirements.

Evaluate the build of acustom authentication mechanism for users in each country and support for customers and partners.

Evaluate Salesforce native authentication mechanism for all users including customers and partners.

The integration architect should assess the security requirements for internal systems, such as the ERP system and other systems that will be integrated with Salesforce for Sales and Support business processes. The security requirements may include authentication protocols, encryption standards, data access policies, and compliance regulations. The integration architect should then decide on the integration methods that support these requirements, such as SOAP or REST APIs, middleware solutions, or connectors. The integration architect should also evaluate the build of a custom authentication mechanism for users in each country and support for customers and partners. A custom authentication mechanism may be necessary to integrate with the local active directory of each country and provide a seamless user experience. The integration architect should also consider how to support customers and partners who have different authentication options, such as self-registration or Google login. The integration architect should also evaluate Salesforce native authentication mechanism for all users including customers and partners. Salesforce native authentication mechanism is a built-in feature that allows users to log in to Salesforce with their username and password. Salesforce native authentication mechanism may be simpler and easier to implement than a custom or third-party solution, but it may not meet all the security requirements or user preferences. The integration architect should compare the pros and cons of each option and choose the best one for the project. Evaluating Salesforce solution for customers and for partners, using third party solution for internal users is not a valid requirement because it does not address the need to authenticate internal users with their local active directory. Considering third party Single Sign On solution supporting all user authentication including customer and partner is not a valid requirement because it does not address the need to integrate with internal systems and their security requirements.
