<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>I strongly suggest to</div><div>1) avoid to spend for Arc licences and in opposite</div><div> A) invest in qgis upstream fixes via hiring core developers or financing directly qgis project</div><div> B) customize your workflows hiring a power user</div><div> C) pay training to do all above in-house</div><div>2) invest contributing the new PDALtools in processing</div><div>3) invest contributing to PDAL</div><div><br></div><div>all above suggestion allow your company to have ALSO a more direct control on your product respect depending on external marketing decisions.</div><div><br></div><div>regards</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature">Luigi Pirelli</div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><br>**************************************************************************************************<br>* LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigipirelli" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigipirelli</a><br>* Stackexchange: <a href="http://gis.stackexchange.com/users/19667/luigi-pirelli" target="_blank">http://gis.stackexchange.com/users/19667/luigi-pirelli</a><br>* GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/luipir" target="_blank">https://github.com/luipir</a><br>* Mastering QGIS 2nd Edition:<br>* <a href="https://www.packtpub.com/big-data-and-business-intelligence/mastering-qgis-second-edition" target="_blank">https://www.packtpub.com/big-data-and-business-intelligence/mastering-qgis-second-edition</a><br>* Hire me: <a href="http://goo.gl/BYRQKg" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/BYRQKg</a><br>**************************************************************************************************</div></div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, 3 Oct 2018 at 13:36, Seth Cohen <<a href="mailto:scohen@nfps.net">scohen@nfps.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
