Hello,

I'm investrigating CRM packages and the environment I'm looking at is
having two or three instllations (one in US, one in Canada and
possibly one in France). The data needs to be shared to a degree (if
possible) and one option I want to consider is MS SQL server
replication. Ideally, so the two/three international installations can
work with the same data, showing local regional settings (US$ Can$ and
euro).

Network infrastructure means having an installation in one central
location with the other two accessing the central, shared database
over the Internet would not be the most appropriate. (Though using the
Internet for data replication would be OK).

I understand that CRM uses replication to handle synchronization
between the central db and MDSE based outlook clients for offline
access. But does this hinder server replication for seperate CRM
servers?

Any thoughts and ideas welcome?

the current releases of CRM ie 1.0 and 1.2 do not allow the replication of
multiple databases. Right now I manage a global install of Microsoft CRM
with it deployed between two countries but only one database. However we
have the network connectivity to support this. As Microsoft are pushing to
deploy Microsoft CRM across the world it would be a logical move to have the
ability to have multiple CRM databases with the ability to report or
replicate to a master database.
