Google (open source) and basically most of the web running on Linux.<br>
<br>
There would be a more of risk to management to move to a platform that is<br>
not as "open" as MGOS. However, the key to any thing is the DATA. Data is<br>
EVERYTHING.<br>
<br>
So, if you do go with ArcGIS Server, for example, make sure your data is a<br>
format that all GISes can see. For example, most GIS systems can see SHP<br>
(not SDF).<br>
<br>
But above all, the data should be stored in a database such as Oracle, SQL<br>
Server or PostgreSQL & PostGIS.<br>
<br>
If you do store your data in a database, especially with ArcGIS Enterprise,<br>
make sure you are using the databases' native Geometry format and not ESRI<br>
Proprietary st geom.<br>
<br>
Your life will be way easier.<br>
<br>
If your data is in a neutral database, all GIS systems can view and edit the<br>
data (given permissions) and regardless of what comes down the pipe<br>
(Autodesk/ESRI/Tesla/Amazon GIS) you are in a position to take advantage.<br>
<br>
DATA is EVERYTHING.<br>
