Hi,

we have been running QGIS together with PostGIS in a municipal GIS (city, some 100000 inhabitants) since at least 7 years. We run QGIS server on the intranet and, together with QGIS WebClient, on the internet [1]. We use LTS QGIS 64bit on Win7, servers are on Ubuntu.

We started with some projects and now have about 30 of them (project = data model for a specific purpose), the number is increasing every year. We do not have commercial support but build what we need ourselves. I can highly recommend the PostGIS data source together with QGIS (versatility, speed). For ease of data input I created a plugin [2]. I do almost all spatial operations (there are not many unfortunately :) on PostGIS. We use PyJasper [3] (JasperReports for Python) for any pdf output (reports, data sheets, letters), which - admittedly - is a bit tricky.

Bottom line: The combinaton does everything we need (if it doesn't we can have it added), users are used to QGIS (did not show them any alternatives, though :) and - more important - convinced that it is the right tool for their purposes (which means the data models implemented can house their informational needs). There are not many large-scale plots currently. We lack an easy to use web client for non-GIS staff, as most people can not handle a full blown QGIS. QGIS WebClient II will hopefully close this gap.

Feel free to ask any sppecific questions.

Bernhard

Through various product demos and meetings I am coming to realize that much
of what we want to do could be done using open source products like; QGIS,
PostgreSQL, Leaflet or Map Server, and a Web API. So I am wondering if
anyone is doing something similar. I know this isn't a specific QGIS
question so I hope you will forgive me, but if anyone one has any
suggestions on products and/or open source packages that leverage open
source GIS and Databases to provide a GIS centric platform to support
municipal operations asset management and maintenance.
Thanks for the thoughts;
Tyler
