  | The next version of our core software will be web based.

 I hope it will be better debugged then yer website
 (www.phorest.com), where, to take just one example
 of several, the “Terms + Conditions” (at the bottom)
 hyperlink results in a 404 error.


  |[ ... ]  The team has good experience in Java, Delphi
  | and Ruby. So what language and database should we use?

 Ones that are “fit for purpose”.  They may not be any
 of those you have experience with, albeit a bias to
 those you do have experience with is understandable.

 You should be able to determine the fitness metrics
 from yer model, as verified by yer prototypes, so I
 fail see the point of this follow-the-trailing-edge
 exercise.  The sort of thing you are doing might be
 helpful in _finding_ candidates which are (possibly)
 “fit for purpose”?

cheers!
