Our journey adopting QGIS in a corporate environment
summary
Company adopts QGIS for an engineering consultancy starting in 2011, shrinks from five to one GIS role in 2012, and formalizes a strategy in 2016 hiring a part‑time QGIS core developer. Builds an SMEC plugin to enforce data access and symbology, runs automated installs and updates via an internal Software Center, and publishes a GeoNetwork metadata catalog with XYZ tiles, templates and brand palettes. Result: faster, stable mapping, centralized data currency, and upstream contributions to QGIS.
