Frequently Asked Questions

QGIS is a widely adopted GIS solution used by governments and companies worldwide, including infrastructure operators, forestry/environmental organizations etc. It follows open standards and is continuously improved by a large international developer community. In practice, this means you receive a stable, feature-rich platform for your geospatial needs.
While the core software is free, the value comes from tailoring it to your business operations. This way the system becomes easy to use specifically in your business processes. Our agile development team does customization, system integration, configuration and deployment, training and onboarding, as well as long-term maintenance.
We deliver a fully configured QGIS environment tailored to your needs and processes. Deployment can be done either on-premises or in cloud environment.
Very easy after customization and our user training. We can simplify the interface, limit tools, build guided workflows—the possibilities are endless.
Absolutely. We offer capacity building workshops for beginners and more advanced users to make the transition to QGIS easy.
Yes, QGIS is designed to work with a wide variety of industry-standard spatial data formats. It supports vector data (Shapefile, GeoPackage, GML, KML, CAD formats), raster/imagery (GeoTIFF, ECW, and others), spatial databases (PostGIS, SQL Server Spatial, Oracle Spatial), and OGC services for reading data directly from servers (WMS, WMTS, WFS, WCS). Arbonaut also integrates your data into the system for you.
As with any software, security depends on the infrastructure and system maintenance. We ensure your new system will meet your organization’s security requirements, and we provide long-term maintenance to avoid any future vulnerabilities. Sensitive parts of the solution are shielded through a mix of Python and our own compiled code.
