Open Source GIS: Enterprise GIS w/ Postgres/PostGIS

Build Your Own Enterprise GIS with FOSS4g: A Hands-On Course

Tired of the high cost and complexity of traditional Enterprise GIS solutions? Learn to create a powerful, multi-user Enterprise GIS from scratch using free and open-source software (FOSS4g).

This practical training course empowers you to build a robust GIS system using Postgres, PostGIS (the powerful spatial extension), and QGIS. As John from California says, "I've created a multi-user enterprise GIS on my own!"

What you'll learn:

• Enterprise GIS Fundamentals: Understand the core concepts and architecture of an Enterprise GIS.
• Database Management with PostGIS: Master Postgres and PostGIS to control database access, presentation, and editing. Learn how to manage data efficiently and securely.
• Multi-User Access & Permissions: Implement role-based access control, allowing you to add users with different permissions for data access and editing. Learn to manage a large number of users simultaneously.
• Simultaneous Editing: Perform simultaneous multi-user editing on the same GIS layers – a key feature of a true Enterprise GIS.
• Extend with Commercial GIS Software: Discover how to integrate existing commercial GIS products as clients within your FOSS4g enterprise stack.
• Custom GIS Applications with Python: Develop a table-top GIS application using Python to access GIS tools outside of the standard software interface – perfect for kiosks and specialized applications.
• Web GIS Deployment: See how to simultaneously display your enterprise GIS data on the internet using FOSS4g software, making information accessible to a wider audience.

Course Project:

You'll build an Enterprise GIS specifically designed for a mid-sized municipality, applying all the concepts learned throughout the course.

This course is ideal for anyone looking to implement a cost-effective and scalable Enterprise GIS solution. Gain the skills to manage spatial data, empower users, and unlock the full potential of your GIS information.
