Hello people!

A little question about architeture.

We have today a large Visual FoxPro application like ERP that is used for a
much large client base.

However now we would to rewrite this system into .NET (C#) and we would like
to design a very integrated application with benefits as web mobility and so
on.

A consultant enterprise has sugest to us dev. using a webservice
infrasctructure for all of the application, making in the server the data
layer and the bussiness layer (below a IIS) and working in the clients only
a winform interface (smart client) to access the system - the webform is
much poor for some task in our kind of system. With that, the web mobility
is ok, and the deploy of the system is short simple.

I would like some advices about this kind of architecture, specialy
potential problems like acquital.

Thanks,

Max
