[OSGeo-Discuss] Case study 'Using Open GIS'

[Simon Cropper]

Ravi,

"we are poked with nagging questions about real success stories and 
implementation for Urban administration Urban planning etc"

In Australia, I keep finding resistance to implementation of fosGIS 
solutions. The problems is not that the foss solutions are not able to 
do the same thing as (if not better) the commercial alternatives, its 
just that the clients perceive that there is less support and/or 
documentation available.

This is of course rubbish but it is still, I believe, the main reason 
why fosGIS is not utilized in Australia and in many other parts of the 
world.
