A more important question might be why is your company outsourcing the development of their site when they have an existing development staff?
It could be that they don't respect, or trust, your team enough to allow you to do the work, or contribute to the discussion? If they're willing to outsource, then it's unlikely that they're going to listen to your arguments. I've run into this before and it's extremely frustrating. Either way, your best argument will probably come if you own your own CF servers.

The marketing folks are asking the agencies to recommend a application platform as a part of the RFP. I know most agencies use ..net or php, but that will be for their advantage and not our existing CF staff. I need some guidance from someone that's been down this road before. I don't want us to switch technologies just beacuse it's what the agencies use. Why aren't there more agencies using CF?
