I am not technical but looking to implement SharePoint 2013 in my company. We are looking to store all our sales invoices and purchase orders as well as other documents (as pdf). It is proposed that the documents will be first stored by customer/supplier name and then by document type.

It is important that we have a good search capability – to be able to find documents by their serial number but perhaps also to be able to find information in (say) invoice lines within sales invoice documents.

From a practical perspective is SharePoint 2013 Foundation likely going to work for me (attractive because it is free) or am I really going to have to consider Standard or Enterprise?

I’m sorry this is not a technical question and this is a technical forum, but I am genuinely trying to understand some of the practical implications of all the technical information supplied in your comparisons of search functionality in foundation, standard and enterprise.

Please can you help?

Many thanks in advance
