"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, SAWSHow FME Helps Utility Agencies
Data challenges will continue to exist for utility companies due to increasing populations and new technology. With FME you can automatically transfer collected data to assigned storage spaces to ensure that your asset data set is always up-to-date.
