i'm an ERP developer very new to web developing and am trying to find the right enviroment.

Overall picture:
I will need to allow multiple companies to log in and upload a flat file (comma delimited probably) to our web server.

Then, I would need to run each file through some complicated logic to determine risk factors. Currently, I have this logic in macros in Excel.

Then, I would fill in a template (.pdf or .doc) and email it back to the originating company within a few days(reason stated below).


Other Requirements
1) it will be a secure site - login necessary
2) track how many times a company uploads the file for billing purposes
3) I would like to offer 2 different options to subscribers - an On Demand (lite version of report) and full version in .pdf/.doc. Perhaps have a page where the company could upload their file and receive a condensed(lite) version immediately on screen and get their full version a few days later via email and/or snail mail.
4) perform some minor error checking/validation of the flat file to make sure it's in the correct format.

I think those are the major points.

 thanks alot.

rp,

All of this is possible using the .net framework. DNN would just make it convenient if you wanted to integrate it into a content management system. Honestly - based onyour requirements -- the DNN features that you would benefit from would be scheduled tasks...(set up a process to monitor a directory where the new files are uploaded and perform all the logic on them), and security (get this for free).

The most compelling reason to use DNN though would be if you wanted to reuse this functionality in various business contexts....

 

hope that helps,

Ian
