with OpenSource Mapping Software?

We changed (or are changing) because found arcserver slow,had minimal 
support for WMS/WFS (eg no DWITHIN) and because OL + Geoserver delivered 
far more power.

Now we cant dump SDE - with arcMap in heavy use, I dont see an open GIS 
product able to replace it. SDE is needed to provide corporate data 
store. For webmapping though, postGIS works better so replicate with 
OGR2OGR scripts.

For authoring - well argisserver is as easy as publish a mxd but real 
pain if you want to go a step further. Wepurchased Bridge Geocat which 
significantly speeds up the process ofpublishing from mxd to geoserver.
