If SharePoint is good tool for a "customer portal" (general advice needed)?

Hello, I'm looking for the best solution for my needs and consider SharePont. Please have a look.
I'm in B2B business and results of my work are files (presentation, pdf, video etc). All files are grouped by "projects". Every project has at least name, number and date. I have not so much customers, let say, 50 and one hundred projects a month
total.
What I need is that my customers could log into some web-site with nice interface, find project by name, date or number and download files from the project. 
Additionally, we use in-house .Net/SQL developed software for operations. I also need to incorporate some data from SQL (like project progress in %%) to the project page.
Could you point me out if SharePoint is a good solution for this task and how to get started?

Nikriaz,
As I understand that you want your client to download files and you want to update project status from sql data.
If so, then SharePoint foundation will work for you. It has user login, Document management, search, default workflow and web part functionality inbuilt.
You may need to provision authentication to your client, for their login using passport/live/Hotmail account or so.
On the other side, if you move to office 365(E1/E2) then passport authentication already taken care of and all functionality will be there except project status data sync with sql unless use enterprise licence
with BCS.
Hope these information will help you.
Please 'propose as answer' if it helped you, also 'vote helpful' if you like this reply.

    I'm not sure that there is one more tool that combines all these features. But you may take a look at these solutions:

  • What is the best sharepoint 2010 synchronisation tool for macbook air

    what is the best sharepoint 2010 synchronisation tool for macbook.
    Access sharepoint from a mapped drive is really slow, so I want to save my files locally and synchronise with Sharepoint 2010.
    Is there an application or client for this.

    Ok, so do you have a recommend brand and space capacity?
    You mentioned that one of your primary needs is to store video, which demands large capacity. As a consequence I'd suggest a drive with at least 1Tb, perhaps greater, capacity. I don't have a preferred brand or manufacturer - it's a bit like recommending which is better between Ford and Chevy - but I have a couple of Western Digital external USB drives which have proven very reliable, and a Seagate which is used as a daily backup and has worked flawlessly.
    DWB's point about backups is important too, because when you store files on any drive there is a risk of that drive failing - and indeed, all drives will fail at some point. The question is, can you live with the total loss of those files if the drive does fail? If you are storing files that you value, then a backup is needed to help protect those files. Ideally that would mean two drives, not one. One to use for the storing the files, and the second to use to back those files up.

  • Doing a goods receipt for a customer material that is ASEQ status

    We are needing to find a way to be able to do a goods receipt for a child part in ASEQ status.  Most of our customers will send in their part after disassembling it themselves.  Since we can not receive the part our present process is to dismantle so the system status changes to ESTO and we can receive.  The problem with this is that the end user forgets to assemble the part back and we end up breaking the linkage.
    We have looked into using User Status in the equipment master and have configured that.  However the user status button, nor name shows up in the equipment master.  I have looked at the field selection in IMG and it is not hidden.  I am assuming it is being supressed by a user exit we have.
    Can anyone give me any suggestions on how we can improve the process using SAP for material that is ASEQ status and being able to create an inbound delivery so we can receive in our warehouse for this status without dismatling the unit? 
    We are on ECC

    Hello Kimberly
    You lost me while describing your current process, so  please provide more details as to how you dismantle and reinstall etc.  Also how the part goes back to the customer.
    However I can provide you  clarifications to some questions you raised..
    You see both system and user statuses in the field 'Status' itself. This is the 3rd row in the Equipment display screen under Equipment number and Description. If you see carefully you will see 2 sections, the one on left is system status and the one on right is User status. If you click on the i (info) icon, you will be taken to a screen where you see more info like status and business processes etc.
    ASEQ is a system status and it is determined by what you did ( example dismantling) and can't be changed by you (user). If you see the 'Business Processes' tab, you will also see the this won't allow assignment to a Delivery and so on. So my point is having a user status will not help you. Based on the combination of system and user statuses, some processes are permitted, some not. For example if Goods Receipts are allowed, may be you can receive without an Inbound delivery.  I am mentioning this as a thought initiator, I know you will have a Return/Repair order process including a return delivery.
    I guess you have to systematically prevent the user from  doing whatever they are doing out of turn, e.g., forgetting to reassemble (install?) and for this User statuses can help.
    Let us know your process more in detail and I am sure SAP will have a standard way to receive a child part of a big assembly. Other members will share their practices also.
    Take care.

  • Any Good Tools for Charting in J2EE compliant Applications

    Hi,
    I am looking for Good Tools to draw Chart in Weblogic 6.0 Application.
    I know
    Sitraka www.sitraka.com
    Visual Mining www.visiualmining.com
    Visual Engineering www.ve.com
    But I am looking something good and cheap.
    Any suggestions.
    Thanks
    Jeyakumar Raman.

    It is a web-base application and basically this would be an evolving suite of test cases. For example, if this was a purchasing system. A few test cases that we would like to run would be as such.
    1. Enter in a valid Purchase Order verify expected results
    2. Enter in an invalid Purchase Order verify expected results
    3. Enter a purchase order with one line item
    4. Enter a purchase order with multiple line items
    5. Query existing purchase orders
    6. Edit existing purchase orders
    7. Delete a purchase order
    ETC.
    Would WinRunner provide this functionality? Are there any OpenSource solutions as well.

  • IS designer a good tool for development applications

    Rightnow we are on oracle 7.2 so i wanted to know whether i can use this case tool for all my application development in the future.
    waiting for your valuable suggestions

    No. In my testing of it I found that it failed to do most of what it claimed it would do. I say avoid it.
    It is only good for paving the vendors pocket's with gold.

  • Not good tool for handwritting comments in Adobe Acrobat X pro

    Hi,
    I have evaluated Adobe Acrobat X pro for adding handwritting comments on my university pdf documents.
    I normally use Office One Note 2010 to take quite good notes but the official college documents are .pdf format., so
    it is very useful to be able to take notes over those .pdf.
    The main problem is that the Adobe handwritting tool doesn´t work very well: it is a bit slow from moving your tablet-pen to
    the line on the document; if you try to write to different lines together, Adobe understands that you want to select the first one (try to
    write 90º line with to lines).
    It would be great if Adobe gives Acrobat possibilities similar to Office One Note, even to develop a new solution to take notes .pdf format.
    Thanks

  • SWF File creation tool for Unifier Custom Dashboards

    Hello Everyone,
    I am looking for a tool that can allow me to create SWF files to be used for Custom Dashboard. I know that using third-party SWF file creation tools, swf template files can be created and we can build custom dashboards in Unifier.
    Can anyone provide me with list of SWF file creation tools that you have used for Unifier dashboards.
    Thanks

    The only tool that the SWF Dashboards were designed to work with is Xcelcius. Please bear in mind that only legacy Skire customers that had created SFW dashboards have the ability to use SWF dashboards.

  • Tools for Developing/Customizing Forms for Oracle Apps R12.1

    Hi All,
    Could you please help me identify the tools and correct version for developing and customizing Forms for Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1?
    Regards,
    KK

    Also, could you please elaborate your 2nd point regarding template.fmb The Oracle EBS uses a framework. Starting any new (custom) form for the EBS should ALWAYS begin with the template.fmb to ensure your new form has all of the required objects to comply with EBS Forms development standards. You might want to take a look at the Oracle Applications Documentation library. Select your EBS version and then scroll to the Standards section and review the following documents:
    <ul>
    <li>Oracle Applications Developer's Guide
    <li>Oracle Applications User Interface Standards for Forms-Based Products
    <li>Oracle Application Framework Personalization Guide

  • Is Bridge a good tool for keeping files in multiple environments?

    Is Bridge capable of being a good digital assets manager?  For example, we have a "public to the company internally", "public externally" and "private to marketing" main categories we work with in regards to our images.  I have a pretty good idea of using Bridge for meta data (category, keyword, etc), but what's the best way to use it for master image management and web sharing hi-res images?
    Thanks
    Jason

    Bridge is not really designed for being a digital assest manager for multiple users.  In addition use of Bridge on a network can be problematic.  So it will work, but may not be best fit.
    Since time is money you might look into a DAM product and see if it might work better.
