What People Are Saying About FME

  • "Without this cost-effective data interoperability tool, we would have needed to double our team to accomplish what we did with a few people’s effort. In fact, we estimate the money saved in our first year alone is nearly one-million dollars."

    Cindy Tuttle, SAWS
  • "We now have a system that can quickly get the localities' data into our hands, without having to worry about whether the locality is meeting the specified data model and quality requirements."

    Clay Wise, HRSD
  • "FME is hands down the best GIS software I have worked with in my 20+ years in the profession. All the things PNM does with FME would be impossible to accomplish manually."

    Aaron Allen, PNM
  • "CCCSD has been using FME for more than 15 years to solve a variety of spatial and non-spatial data transformation and automation problems. In this case, it helped us to simplify our sanitary sewer network to align with our CMMS and CCTV systems."
