There's a great, simple example right here that should make things clear:

Are these web agencies going to do your development for you? I suppose they
would probably like to.

Your director of marketing makes technical decisions about infrastructure?
Based on what "some web agencies" tell him? It sounds like you live in a
Dilbert strip, or, alternatively, hell. As a partner at a "web agency"
myself (whatever that is exactly) I would be happy to tell your boss that he
should put down the crack pipe if he thinks it's a good idea to switch from
CF to .NET.

For what it's worth, it's almost never a good idea to switch from CF to
..NET, or vice-versa, if you have any significant investment in application
code. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just angling for your money.
