- They want to have two separate website for A-series and B-series product that has a somewhat similar looks and feel but different content. The company also want to have a Mobile Briefcase Application to distribute marketing documents to all the sales person for A-series product.
- Therefore the company will create all shared data(ex. Channel Layout Templates and Marketing Documents) at the account level.
