[Qgis-user] Corporate Users

We ( as in the municipality of Frederikssund, Denmark) has a medium size 
enterprise installation of Qgis 2.8 at around 100 local installations of 
Qgis 2.8 in a Windows-7 64 bit environment. There is no significant 
problems with this installation.

The largest problem by far was to sift through a mountain sized heap of 
tab files from an older installation of MapInfo and determine which 
should be restructured, cleaned and  imported to our MS-SQLServer based 
database environment.

In the near future - probably a month - We are doing a roll out of Qgis 
2.18 to around 250 Windows workstations using this method:

"https://github.com/Frederikssund/Alternativ-QGIS-installation" (don't 
worry about the Danish readme.md - there is documentation in English too 
;-)

If you have a large amount of different layers / tables, I suggest you 
take a look at the "QLR Browser" plugin. This plugin provides an immense 
help to structure user access to a large number of layers:

And of course: Use a database to store your data. Preferably 
Postgres/PostGIS (Open source and IMHO the most powerful spatial 
database), but MS-SQL Server or Oracle will do If you don't have a 
choice regarding database systems.
