[binarycloud-dev] Is BinaryCloud ideal for me?

[Gerry K. <ge...@mc...>]

Hi,

I'd like some help in determining if BinaryCloud is ideal for the projects 
I'll be developing. Most of the stuff I'll be doing is not large. The 
largest project will be to build a system to manage information on partners 
of our NGO. Each partner will have a profile, i.e. basic background 
information. Next, there will be information about the relationship between 
each partner and us, i.e. a project. For each project or for a group of 
projects, there will be evaluation criteria to determine how well the 
project(s) succeeded.

One example of how this system would be used is for the Agriculture 
program. They work with thousands of farmers. Each farmer will have a 
profile containing family, health, economic data. Each year, information 
will be entered on projects to improve the farmer's health and economic 
situation, e.g., growing a high-yield rice crop.

There will be a ton 'o data collected that needs to be assessed so we can 
determine what factor mix will most benefit the farmers, in terms of land, 
crop selection, investment, time to harvest, etc. Staff will be able to ask 
lots of scenario and what-if questions.

So, I'm looking for a framework that will help our small project team, 
which is just getting its feet wet in PHP web development, build such a 
system and others on a smaller scale (e.g., an inventory management system).

Is BinaryCloud overkill, or if not, what are the main benefits of going 
with bc?

TIA,
Gerry
