Seriously - free #strategic advice for every government: Do not build infrastructure on systems over which you have no control.
"but we have a contract"
Cool cool are you able to change business decisions within the contracted party? Probably no. You have a risk you simply cannot control or mitigate.
This is why #FOSS should be at the heart of all national digital infrastructures.
TIL... . nationalmap.gov.au is/was an open source TerriaJS instance delivering all kinds of data via open standards in a single space.
The digital atlas of Australia is based on proprietary ESRI services. Colour me disappointed, not surprised
The strategic question being: why develop a new digital atlas if the old one was not used?
Personally I would have chosen to keep developing an open platform, especially in current geopolitical light.
If I wanted to persuade someone who only knows ArcGIS/ESRI products that they should look at QGIS/open-source tools, what particular features should I point to? Aside from being free and open-source - what wow features do they have? What can you do easily that you can't in Arc?
(I don't really know what Arc/ESRI is like these days as I haven't used it for over a decade)
