Hi,

1) Multiple geographies - Are you going to be using a single global ruleset,or are you going to have regional rulesets applied? if so, depending how many different rulesets and SAP systems connected to the single GRC instance, it may require alot of resources (DB space, threads etc) to work without issues.

2) The number of users and roles to be analysed per system attached will also impact performance and the tables may get filled up very quickly.

3) There is a limit to the number of systems and the types you can connect in 5.X.

4) Are you considering Logical systems and/or Cross system analysis?

You need to think of the different types of scenarios your GRC system will be used for, then you can build up your requirements and design accordingly.

Hope that helps you get started.
