I convinced our IT department to add QGIS in the company’s Software center. Now everyone can install it without admin rights. It’s the best way to replace expensive proprietary software with great FOSS software. QGIS is a really really good open source project. It’s the Firefox for GIS. It’s very approachable for a novice provided you can give them data sources to play with. For expert users, almost all fields can be data defined and almost everything can be scripted in Python. I gave them 20 bucks a few years ago and I’m cited in the credits. They also thanked me personally. If only I could convince my company to donate (hundreds of k€) to such projects (QGIS and PostGIS) instead of giving away money to Oracle Spatial, ArcGIS Entreprise and SAP HANA... which are not bad per se but not worth the price.
