Hi, Thank you for all your comment.
I'm part of a big company with a lot of money and an old mentality :( thinking that if you pay, you've the best service. But now, we are facing the wall, and we need to take decisions. More, since 1 year, we are facing a big migration of our applications to SAP. And for now only Esri is positioning itself as a leader in SAP :( So, we bought some licenses to provide some map/feature services. Unfortunately, we already see the limitations of the products. In terms of infrastructure, we are using Oracle Database with SDO_GEOMETRY. We refused to work with ST_GEOMETRY, we want to be as generic as possible. Idem for the front end, everything is thought to use a different viewer (Autodesk, esri, Google, ....). So if i understand correctly, no one has been confronted with this forced migration ?
