Hi Jerôme,
Why don't you contact directly some guys that can really help you?

GeoSolutions (Europe)

Boundless Geo (USA)

You will be amazed that you are not left alone on the hands of proprietary
multinational companies! ;-)

Best of luck!

> Idem for the front end, everything is thought to use a different viewer

>> That's correct... you should watch the Arnulf (OSGeo) video @ Foss4g 2016!
>> foss4g-2016-1060-software comes and goes mind the data [Arnulf] - hd on
>> Vimeo <https://vimeo.com/187556741>And the KEEP USING OPEN FORMATS is
>> the only way to have full access and control of YOUR DATA!!!
>> Don't let them fool you, only TRUE FREE OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE can
>> guarantee interoperability!

>> There are fantastic and enterprise REAL FREE OPEN SOURCE alternatives to
