Обсуждение: How to set up PostGIS to support ArcGIS, MapInfo and QGIS desktop users?
Hi,
I should be grateful if anyone can offer insight into how to set up PostGIS to support ArcGIS, MapInfo and QGIS desktop users.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

This is probably the wrong place to ask. Have a look at the POSTGis support options 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.
