I work for a Provincial Government in Canada. The Safety Codes Council has built a sharepoint 2007 based system that is meant to be a province wide permit issuing and tracking system. So far we have about 40 organizations and 400,000 files in the system, it is not performing well. My question - is sharepoint an appropriate platform to build a system like this?
 
You've posted to a newsgroup that supports Microsoft Access.

You'll probably get more assistance if you post to a Sharepoint group...

That depends greatly on the design of the system, the hardware upon which it
is implemented, and the "rubber ruler" of performance measure. Is ten-second
response time cause for delight? or is 0.5 seconds intolerably slow? (I've
seen both responses, and they're both REASONABLE responses in the right
context).

This is an ms-access group, but I will say one big thing:

The next version of SharePoint has FANTASTIC increase in scalability. They
are talking about systems with 100 million documents in them spread over
systems...

Check out the following video...it quite amazing what is in store (pun
intended) for the next version of SharePoint.

The above is certainly a sales pitch, however the scalability they are
talking about bodes very well for SharePoint...
