Organizations that use GIS often get to the point where a file-based system becomes unmanageable — the file system gets cluttered with garbage data, multiple versions of critical data circulate, and any semblance of a GIS strategy slowly goes out the window. The solution usually lies in creating a central GIS server. Although many turn to proprietary server solutions, there are also many feature-rich open source GIS solutions. With QGIS, PostGIS, and Geoserver, organizations are able to enforce a series of rules for how data are managed within and outside the enterprise environment. During this one-hour webinar, we will introduce participants to some of the key enterprise features of an open source GIS server, namely:

• User management, permissions, and security;
• Concurrent editing;
• Centralized data;
• Centralized symbology;
• Custom forms using value relations; 
• Data auditing;
• Automation through trigger functions and other stored procedures;
• Integration with other enterprise systems through foreign data wrappers;
• Sharing data web services;
• And more!

The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session.
