I have a very similar situation to the person in this posting but I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. So, I have a potential client that wants to take his current ASP website and convert most of it to a WordPress website. He spent a lot of money and time developing this back end system which is mainly to keep track of his inventory to some great detail. The purpose for having WordPress site is he wants his employees to be able to easily update blog postings, news, and some images and perhaps galleries.
So we would rebuild his current website using WordPress but the search capabilities of the site would all be pulled from his current MS SQL server (inventory information). I am assuming that there is no plug-in for this as I'm guessing most of this would have to be customized to his current back end system. I probably know just enough about this to confuse you but for those of you who understand what I'm trying to do I would appreciate any input on how to go about accomplishing this or if this is even a viable solution.
So my question here is would this project be worth the time and effort?
Many thanks, Houston
