<p class="MsoNormal">I’m very happy to hear that all we want to do can be done in Qgis (my boss will be happy to hear that even more). However, that said, we are a midsize engineering firm doing hydrology studies, roadway projects and site development projects.
We are not in the development arena, so we are not going to be hiring any developers anytime soon. Do you offer any training on the workflows I listed? I see that you are in Spain, but do you know of anyone in the US that I could contact?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">All you listed is possible to process in qgis via all possibilities offered by backend integrated in processing (GRASS; SAGA, native qgis algs etc etc), btw about LIDAR data in a week I'll push a new provider for qgis processing toolbox
that will allow the use of PDAL (<a href="http://www.pdal.io">http://www.pdal.io</a>) in processing. This will allow you to create automatic workflow to automatically process basin delineation from lidar data. BTW right now you can already use LASTools integrated
in processing toolbox. las2dem command can generate dem for basin delineation.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I strongly suggest to<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) avoid to spend for Arc licences and in opposite<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> A) invest in qgis upstream fixes via hiring core developers or financing directly qgis project<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> B) customize your workflows hiring a power user<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> C) pay training to do all above in-house<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) invest contributing the new PDALtools in processing<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3) invest contributing to PDAL<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">all above suggestion allow your company to have ALSO a more direct control on your product respect depending on external marketing decisions.<o:p></o:p></p>
