I fully agree with you Szemir, but the systems we have in place are Windows IIS and Cold Fusion servers. I might be able to convince the powers that be to go with a PHP solution, but that won't happen unless we find a product that meets our specific needs. Otherwise, we will leverage the existing system to build a custom application. I'm hoping I can save us the development time though...
