Re: How to set up PostGIS to support ArcGIS, MapInfo and QGIS desktop users?

This is probably the wrong place to ask. Have a look at the POSTGis
support options <https://postgis.net/support/> page. Stack Exchange has a
lot of info.
Also go to the particular products that you are interested in, they should
have their requirements listed.

You will likely also want to set up the maps: the most commonly used
dataset is derived from (or based on) openstreetmap.org. You will soon be
indicted to the joys of tools like osm2pgsql :)

However, you users should define the mapping data source and boundaries for
you.
Make sure to get a really good user spec / system boundary. Trying to
download and set up a full world map dataset can take days or weeks
depending on your hardware.

Take the recommended hardware requirement and system setup / tuning
recommendations seriously. I was bitten by this one in the past.

Also think about a bit of future proofing. In the years I have been
contributing to / sourcing from OSM, the amount of data has grown
exponentially.
