Using Kentico as framework for bespoke workflow-type system
Hi all, My apologies if this is not the right area to post this - please let me know where I should post if this is the case.
I've got a requirement from a customer who needs a CMS solution - so that they can keep their website up to date themselves. So far so good - Kentico looks ideal.
However, they also need a quite bespoke web application - liinked to the main website - which allows their business to operate a workflow-type application. No need to go into the details here - I've developed similar systems before, and have a good handle on it.
Normally I'd design this using ASP.NET and ORM (usually NHibernate), with its own custom database at the back end, naturally. Is there a way to have such a custom system make use of the power of Kentico? Ideally, I'd like to use Kentico for the front end, but access the workflow database rather than custom tables in the Kentico database.
Is this possible, or can configure Kentico to allow me to create custom tables with foreign keys etc. between them?
Sorry if this sounds vague!
