Does anybody know what the "theoretical" limits of headquarters are? A retail chain has aksed us if they can run 150+ locations.
I don't see any limits if we wanted to run that many store operations, but the problem we see is when we have this many stores and how do we centralize with Headquarters.
If Headquarters IS limited, what are some possible solutions and workarounds?
Tony,
Theorectically there are no limits with HeadQuarters, but with 150+ locations you may want to rethink having one central HQ. Having Regional HQ Locations may be a better bet, easier to manage and setup.
We have not setup a chain that large, but if you are a certified partner, try posting on the partner news group to get a response from ones that have.

Tony There are no theoretical limits. We have a customer with 300 sites and had another retailer that had 250 sites before closing there operation. The critical issue for us has been bandwidth to sales transactions. Plus hardware. The amount of data you are moving is critical to success in HQ. Drop me a note if you have other questions snipped-for-privacy@serviccommunications.com
