Shared Contacts Advice
Hi there,
I have a client who has around 4000 contacts they would like to share amongst their employees. they currently all use macs, and use part of google apps for their calendar?
i wanted to know if anyone had a good way of sharing these 4000 contacts between all of them.
i have tried -
Address book server (under 1 user) on mac server - Extremely slow (is this normal?)
Daylite - too expensive.
Many thanks for any help,

If you split your 4,000 item address book into 3 or 4 address books, the performance will be OK. Users will search "All Contacts" so the division will be transparent. Unless the books are split on some logical basis you want to maintain, it also would not matter which shared book new items were added to.
Not ideal, but functional.
Also, as noted above, LDAP will also work fine for a read only address book.
