I have built MapServer applications for several counties and have them linked from my website. www.greenwoodmap.com They integrate data in legacy databases from Assessor, Treasurer, Clerk, Planning&Zoning departments and make the aggregated data available back to the departments, to the public, and to emergency responders. I use PostgreSQL for the data processing and as the backend for the websites. These are examples, not case studies.
