We are looking to create a robust accounting software for the barter  
industry. The software would need to track balances and have a phone  
and online authorization system to check against current balances and  
approve or decline the transaction. The platform would also need to  
separate regional offices and sales commission splits. We would need a  
shopping mall for member listings of goods and services as well as CRM  
integration. Is this the type of project that can be completed on  
Ruby on Rails?

Yes, it is. I was a bit skeptic two years ago when I first bumped into  
rails, but now that I started to explore it deeply, I actually think  
that is pretty good for any project. We have started migrating our ERP  
from J2EE to Rails. I do miss a few apis that exist in java, but there  
is always some workaround.

All the best,

Fidel.
