Question 1
Choose 2
Universal containers is a communication service provider using communication cloud. A member of UC ' s
legacy- system IT team has provided a consultant with an extract of all the existing products from the legacy
system and asked the consultant to migrate the data to communication cloud which two question should the
consultant ask in this scenario to clarify the data migration strategy?
Correct answer:
C. Can we rationalize products to a smaller number?
D. Which of the provided products are still actively sold?
Explanation:
Why Options C & D Are Correct:
C. Product Rationalization ✅
Legacy systems frequently contain hundreds of redundant, obsolete, or slightly altered product definitions created over the years. Before migrating data into Communications Cloud Enterprise Product Catalog (EPC), a critical first step in data migration and catalog design is product rationalization. This involves consolidating multiple legacy variations into flexible, attribute-driven, reusable product specifications to simplify catalog maintenance and improve CPQ performance.
D. Actively Sold Products ✅
Identifying which legacy products are actively being sold versus those that are retired or legacy-only determines how items are modeled in the commercial catalog versus asset-only records.
Active products must be fully configured with CPQ pricing rules, eligibility, and decomposition in EPC, whereas grandfathered or inactive offerings may only require asset data representation for historical tracking and MACD processing.
Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:
A. Inactive Products ❌
Asking generally about inactive products is redundant once you establish which products are actively sold versus legacy or retired. Option D addresses this distinction as part of the product classification process.
B. Customer-Specific Offerings ❌
Customer-specific negotiated rates or terms in Communications Cloud are typically handled using runtime CPQ overrides, Frame Agreements, or contract pricing rules rather than creating individual base catalog entries for each customer.
