FME – The Final Piece in Your Data Puzzle
Miso have been happily partnered-up with Safe Software (the creators of FME) for two decades now. During this time, we’ve worked hand-in-hand to promote and accelerate the use of FME across the UK; offering software, services such as training and technical support, and project consultancy. We love FME here at miso, and if you aren’t already familiar with it, well… we’re more than happy to set-up a blind date…
FME’s uses and benefits are huge. We’ve selected some of our top picks for why FME is such an attractive choice, but this list could’ve been a whole lot longer! Maybe we’ll return to this enduring love story again some time.
It saves you time
One of the most frequently enjoyed benefits of using FME to automate those frustrating manual processing tasks is that it takes the strain off you and allows you/ your teams to focus on other things. Whether you’re handling, uploading, querying, transforming or translating data, FME can speed-up the whole process and ensure accurate and standardised outcomes every time. With FME Server, you can even schedule your workflowsto run whilst you do other things, so everything is ready for when you need it.
It saves you money
By turning your manual tasks into automated workflows, you’re set to increase efficiency with every passing minute. With increased efficiency comes lower costs – it’s often that simple. Your organisation’s money can often be better spent elsewhere, and FME can help to free-up those funds.
It integrates with your applications seamlessly
Having problems with moving data between different file formats, web services, databases or applications? With a huge integration gallery and an ever-growing list of supported formats, FME is a proven solution for those needing to integrate as part of their data processing tasks.
It’s always improving
FME doesn’t stand still. The brilliant technical minds at Safe Software work hard on product development, listening to feedback from the community while preparing their frequent updates and incremental releases. Each new version brings a host of exciting, new capabilities, many of them originating from user community suggestions. Download the FME 2019 Beta here.
It’s adaptable
FME has broadened its horizons from its origins in spatial and GIS to now incorporate and work with a vast array of diverse data. With 10,000+ organisations worldwide using FME, its strength is in its ability to solve all manner of data problems, no matter the customer or circumstance.
It’s empowering
The tool is technically very powerful, with its limits often only being defined by users’ imaginations. It therefore empowers the user to be able to design fully-customisable workflows, using any combination of FME’s 497 available transformers to manipulate data in a range of useful ways. You’re always in control with FME.
It’s at the centre of a community
The FME community is a supportive bunch. With so many developers and experts around the world, FME users seeking handy hints or answers are spoiled for choice. The learning and support section of the Safe Software website are really valuable resources. Users can watch tutorial videos, browse Q&A message boards, or read through supporting technical documents and guides. Technical support is provided by miso, as are a range of carefully-curated training courses to give your skills a boost whenever you may need it.
