Solutions for IBM Information Server DataStage Users
To make effective business decisions, location is playing an increasingly critical role. However, Business Intelligence systems haven't traditionally supported location-based or "spatial" data.
FME can help. The world's leading spatial ETL platform, FME enables organizations to add location intelligence to business intelligence systems for improved decision-making across the business. For IBM customers, FME allows you to easily add location information to existing business data assets managed by IBM WebSphere DataStage, a core component of IBM WebSphere Data Integration Suite.
FME tightly integrates with DataStage so you can:
- Read and write over 200 different spatial data formats including CAD, GIS, raster and database formats
- Transform and restructure the geometry of your spatial data into the precise data model you need, including creating spatial data from your existing non-spatial data
- Load spatial data sets into DataStage
