(Yahooooo!!!) They had already ran into many of the limitations we spoke about (database limitations and missing relationships), and pretty much came into the meeting with the idea of a re-write. I mainly spoke of the time we are spending and money its costing them simply to maintain their current code, and compared that to their future goals. We also spoke of many of the idea's they had in the past that were never done due to lack of flexibility in their current configuration. I am firmly convinced that a re-write is the right thing to do for them, and to fit their future business goals, and I cannot wait to get started =) I have done many internal applications with a simple cfc based approach, with atomic functions abstracted into methods and grouped into cfc's by type of function. Does anyone want to take a stab at convincing me to use some framework out there? I have downloaded and setup a test app in Fusebox, but for some reason having to setup logic in .xml files makes me not want to use it. We are pretty solid in using MS SQL, but do you think I should use something like Coldspring? Thanks to everyone who chimed in!
