FME Platform Overview

Safe Software's FME® is the only true spatial ETL (extract, transform and load) platform that helps you easily solve the complete spectrum of data interoperability challenges, including managing proprietary and evolving data formats, adapting to new schemas and lack of standards and difficulties accessing, restructuring, integrating and distributing data.

FME provides support for over 250 GIS, CAD, raster and database formats to let you seamlessly translate, transform, integrate and distribute your spatial data in hundreds of formats - while improving efficiency, reducing costs and lowering risks.

With the flexibility and power of the FME platform, you can quickly and easily:

  • Enable spatial data migration / translation projects
  • Exchange spatial data between CAD and GIS systems
  • Distribute spatial data to multiple user communities
  • Extend the lifetime of legacy systems through data interoperability
  • Supply spatial data to web applications
  • Federate data from disparate database systems
  • Transform data from one data model to another

Address the Complete Spectrum of Spatial ETL Tasks

FME is the only solution available that can truly address the complete range of spatial ETL tasks you may need to perform when solving your data interoperability challenges:

Data Translation

Use FME to quickly translate data to/from over 250 GIS, CAD, raster and database formats, while viewing and inspecting these translations at any step in the process.

Data Transformation
