On the surface this project seems to scream " WOFileUpload", and lots of
coding (enjoyable if paid for). But in good conscience I need to research
off-the-shelf products before recreating the wheel.
In a nutshell, the application needs to allow the office (a bunch of PC
users and a Windows 2003 server) to use server residing Excel documents like
any normal networking environment. However, outside clients need to have
access to check-in/check-out their spreadsheets. Revisioning, who has
possession of the document, deprecation, access, etc etc are the issues. A
collaborative portal is the best description of the service needing to be
created.
Microsoft has a product called Sharepoint that seems to handle this type of
service, although I'm not familiar with it, and I can't begin to understand
how hard it will be to allow simple entries in our CRM (customer base) to
dynamically create portal accounts etc.
Has anyone crossed this bridge in the past? Many thanks for feedback,
-Bill Reynolds
