One CRM system for Two SAP ECC Instances

[srini_m]

Hello Experts,

We have ECC6.0 connected to our CRM4.0 system and need to upgrade to CRM2007. The situation is one of our group companies has already upgraded to CRM2007 and are connected to their own instance of ECC6.0.

The head honchos are recommending that we merge our CRM environment into the other upgraded CRM2007 system instead of having two CRM systems.

Essentially, they are talking of a landscape of One CRM2007 connected to two ECC6.0 instances. We are not sure of the implications of this - implementation challenges, ongoing maintenace, future projects, any other issues etc.

If anyone can throw some light on this I would really appreciate.

Thanks in advance,
