Ongoing integration of Two different Instances of Salesforce.com

[JSusuras]

Hi-

We have an instance of Salesforce here in the states and one in Europe.  We do not intend on combining these two instances any time soon.  We would however, like to share data between the two.  Is there a way (without creating a "real" integration outside of Salesfoce.com - i.e. via webmethods) to share the data automatically.  I know we could do data exports and imports manually, but that is not an ideal solution either.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Janelle

A way to do this as you say "without" a real integration, not to my knowledge and the developement work you would need to do all webmethods I think would be to much in my mind.  Not sure if you're aware but you can have all your data in once instance of SFDC but keep them virtually separate by using two totally different hyarchies, and sharing rules.

Jenelle,

We're developing a hosted synchronization service for salesforce.com to accomplish exactly this. It is external to Salesforce, but very lightweight--not at all like WebMethods. Please contact me directly if you're interested at charlie.wood@spanningpartners.com.

Regards,
Charlie
