"FME fills a void I didn’t even know existed before. The way it makes the incompatible compatible is phenomenal. Though it’s in the background, what a difference it makes in the job that it does!"
Dennis O’Connor, KDOT AviationCustomer Stories
Iowa Department of Transportation
The Department of Transportation in the state of Iowa has been able to leverage FME Desktop and FME Server abilities to do some amazing things. For themselves, they cleaned up, validated and integrated their datasets. For the public, they built API’s that make live traffic feeds accessible to anyone. As a bonus, they created the Plowcam to report and display road conditions online in the winter.
Arkansas GIS Office
Many open data portals have migrated to cloud platforms to help with high web traffic and to save money. The state of Arkansas was able to migrate over three terabytes of data to the Amazon S3 system and over four terabytes of historical data to AWS Glacier using FME Desktop and FME Cloud. The amount of money saved by making this change saved the department over $200,000!
Natural Heritage Information Centre
Tracking animal and plant communities throughout a province is vital for understanding ecosystem dynamics and implementing conservation efforts. The Natural Heritage Information Centre (NHIC) has been collecting this information for the province of Ontario for many years and recently decided to migrate the data into a geodatabase system. With FME Desktop this task was made easy! Now the data is located in a centralized source that can be easily accessed by staff to help clients and stakeholders.
