To Coldfusion or not to Coldfusion
As I have mentioned before, I have started a new job. Our current webserver is running the classic ASP (with Access as it's database, but we do plan to switch to MySQL or MSSQL). Of course, I want to switch it to Coldfusion. I am writing out a proposal to switch to Coldfusion and I am looking for some reasons why we should switch. If anyone can give me some reasons, I will add it to my proposal and once complete, I will post the proposal here so everyone can reference it later.
** UPDATE ** Here are a few bullets on found and came up with:
• Easy and efficient creation of printable web content in the form of PDFs
• Excellent integration with RIAs
• Performance and stability
• Interoperability (we can use .NET objects previously built, Java extensibility, etc.)
• ColdFusion is in use at 75 of the Fortune 100 companies.
• ColdFusion, .Net and MS Exchange are now natively supported
• Create searchable document directories that are instantly available to your ColdFusion applications. Search Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, HTML, XML and PDF documents, and more with the built-in Verity K2 engine.
• Manage all of your ODBC and OLEDB datasources. Verify connections, update usernames and passwords, and connect string attributes.
• Easy server monitoring with MIB support and sophisticated log-file filtering. Yan create and deploy server probes to monitor the health of your server.
• Create ColdFusion Archive (CAR) files to wrap entire applications for easy backup and deployment.
• Manage server access with sandbox security, allowing for multiple developers to coexist in protected environments on the same ColdFusion server
• ColdFusion .NET Integration
Also, I would probably go with Standard as opposed to Enterpise.

I posted a blog entry about this recently. My list so far is here:

@Peter, I am Coldfusion Developer looking for as many reasons as I can get to convince them to switch to Coldfusion. Not sure I understand what you are trying to say.
