Hi Evert, Thank you for your long detailed response that's really helpful.
Right now I'm just looking at just contacts but in the future will also be the calendar implementation. I agree with everything you've said and I think that I'll go along the second option route whereby keeping both databases in sync and keeping an external reference/id in the sabredav database for each contact/vcard. I very much doubt contacts in my system will barely ever be updated so it's really just the initial add to get them into the address book or into the CRM. Thanks again for your help, it's very much appreciated.
