DESCRIPTION:Ramboll operates QGIS at enterprise scale\, with 500+ monthly u
 sers managed through a centralized governance model alongside a substantia
 l ArcGIS user base. This presentation shares practical lessons from buildi
 ng and running a dual-platform geospatial ecosystem in a global engineerin
 g and consultancy firm—covering technical setup\, organizational governa
 nce\, and the strategic drivers that shape adoption and funding.\nWe will 
 outline our technical approach to maintaining QGIS in a managed IT environ
 ment: standardized packaging and deployment\, controlled upgrade cadences 
 (LTS vs. latest)\, profile and plugin management\, and configuration basel
 ines that ensure consistency across project teams and regions. We will dis
 cuss data access patterns that allow QGIS and ArcGIS to interoperate\, emp
 hasizing the importance of leveraging open standards while still supportin
 g proprietary formats such as File Geodatabases.\nWe will also discuss the
  internal drivers that inform strategy and funding—total cost of ownersh
 ip\, risk management\, compliance\, and the growing importance of digital 
 sovereignty. Finally\, we will share an outlook on how AI is raising the p
 rofile of QGIS and open-source systems in the Architecture\, Engineering\,
  and Consultancy sector.
