Using Outlook BCM on a server

[Yuri]

We are thinking to buy a busines databese for our financial acvisors' office.
Outlook BCM is one of them that I reserch about software for a small office.


Can I use Outlook BCM in a server (the contact database residing on server)
and access that information, add to it seamlessly, etc.
Also, can I see all notes (opportunity notes, time/date stamping) in a
single screen?

Two questions.

1. Yes, it is supported to run the database on a server. It is not
supported to run Outlook on the same server as the Exchange Server, by
the way, and that will result in breaking Exchange functionality. You
can, however, run the BCM SQL Server instance on that server without
breaking Exchange functionality.
2. I don't remember all the built-in reports, but you can use SQL
Reporting Services to generate any SQL report.
