Which deployment mode should the IT team choose for each department to optimize performance and enhance the user experience?
-
A
Persistent mode for both marketing and sales teams to retain customized settings for all users
-
B
Non-persistent mode for both marketing and sales teams, as shared environments benefit from regular resets

C
Persistent mode for the marketing team and non-persistent mode for the sales team to balance the need for customization and shared access

D
Non-persistent mode for the marketing team and persistent mode for the sales team to reduce resource consumption
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
A. Choosing persistent mode for both the marketing and sales teams may not be the most optimal solution. While persistent mode retains customized settings for all users, it may lead to increased resource consumption and management overhead, especially for the sales team that does not require long-term customization.
B. Opting for non-persistent mode for both the marketing and sales teams may not align with the user requirements outlined in the case study. The marketing team requires a personalized experience with customized settings, which may not be feasible in a shared environment that undergoes regular resets.
C. Selecting persistent mode for the marketing team and non-persistent mode for the sales team strikes a balance between the need for customization and shared access. This approach ensures that the marketing team can retain their personalized settings across sessions, while the sales team benefits from a shared environment that is regularly reset for optimal performance.
D. Implementing non-persistent mode for the marketing team and persistent mode for the sales team may not align with the user requirements and technical considerations mentioned in the case study. The marketing team's need for a personalized experience with customized settings may not be met in a shared environment that undergoes regular resets.
