Safe Software, the leaders in spatial ETL announced today that FME Server is being implemented by organizations around the world to solve common data access challenges. In particular, FME Server’s on-the-fly transformation capabilities have proven invaluable in removing format and data model barriers. This has enabled organizations to more easily centralize data, share up-to-date data and participate in SDI initiatives.
Validating and Loading Data into a Centralized Database
Organizations today are often looking to centralize their data into a single database to gain a unified view of their spatial information. This provides a single access point to all of their spatial data assets for use in analyses, visualizations, and decision making.
FME Server’s data validation and high volume data loading capabilities have proven to be an effective solution for centralizing spatial data. Organizations such as the Hampton Roads Sanitation District in Virginia, USA have created FME Server-based services which upload data from various data sources, validate it to meet their precise requirements, and load data that passes validation into a centralized database. These services can also report information related to data validation failures so that datasets can be efficiently altered to comply.
Sharing Data On-the-Fly with User Communities
Organizations are also being pressured to share data with various user communities who need access to their spatial information. This often requires transforming data to meet the end user’s precise data model and format requirements so the data can be used in the applications and systems they want to work with.
Many organizations have discovered FME Server to be an efficient way to share their up-to-date data. FME Server’s on-the-fly transformation services enable end users to request a subset of data in the output format and model they require.
