Let me explain what we need:
We have a repository of 5000 products and we work together with 5 external providers, each provider provide us product prices. For each provider we need to collect all the prices we can get for all out products. When our customers then search for a specific product we need to show them all the prices we found for that product including a link to the vendor site.
The providers each provide their date in their own format. Provider A puts every night an updated 25MB XML file on a server that we can download using a HTTP GET. Provider B does basically the same but the XML structure is different. For Provider C and Provider D we need to request updated price information product by product. Provider E works with CSV files and so on... In the future there are going to more providers.
This is going to be a one-way synchronization always and we wanted to know if the Microsoft Sync Framework would be a good choice for this project? The providers are providing data in different formats, some providers are giving us full files that we need to process on our side whilst for other providers we need to get price information product per product, ...
Any comment is strongly appreciated. Many thanks!
