At first, I found a P2P CRM on http://www.ajatus.info/. But it was discontinued for years. And it is not natural to have a local web server. And the worst thing is that is hard to integrate its data with other data source for it used CouchDb.
So I draft a P2P CRM proposal and I am thinking to implement it.
Features:
Decentralization
Free( Free for software, no additional cost for related software)
Run Immediately (No installation needed, no configuration needed)
Social networking support.
Email and Contacts friendly
Basic architecture: 4 independent software.
1, Personal CRM
A Silverlight CRM application with a built- in SQL CE database. This is a completed package to run and no installation needed any more.
2, Central CRM
Central server is for performance and to simplify the support, which could be based on a typical SQL Server database of Splendid/Tiger CRM. This is a completed package also.
3, CRM Bridge
A bridge to synchronize the personal CRM and Central CRM. This will be an open source project for ANY CRM synchronize to the client. This is to be done by MS Sync Framework. ( MS Live Sync could be a better solution when it is ready and available in XP platform.)
4, Social Collector
A social data collector to collect all data from social networks and other data source. There is a good project in Codeplex.com (http://semsync.codeplex.com/) to collect and synchronize all contacts information together.
Scenario:
personal only.
Client to Central CRM directly (in DB layer).
Personal with synchronization to the central.
Any suggestions?
