I want to know if DotNetNuke is a good platform for my situation.

My company has a internal reporting engine in classic asp with approximately 100 web pages. Most pages are read-only and there is not much of a middle tier, no COM objects and no DLLs. Data is retrieved using SQL Server stored procedures. The only real logic in the asp pages is opening recordsets, do while not eof, if...then, movenext. The UI is very boring, basically just tables of data being displayed with some various colors. The color of each row is determined using the if...then looping structure mentioned above in the asp page.

The web server for this site does not have the .NET framework installed yet but we plan to do this within the next few weeks in order to use server side binding, caching, etc.

However, our first priority is to get the UI up to a more "flashy" and modern look and feel, such as by using DotNetNuke with some of the image sliders and skins from snowcovered.

Will I be able to hook up classic asp to the DotNetNuke framework while we work on converting our existing pages to .net?

And our site is not really CMS. It is only a reporting engine. Is it useful for that purpose? Thank you.

You could just iframe the old app into DNN. Then when you have the time it sounds like it wouldn't be too difficult to port it over to .NET, just bind the right control to your stored procedures in SQL.
