FME 2006 GB Unmasked: 

FME 2006 GB Unmasked 'In the current release of FME we are compiling with the 3 gigabyte (GB) address space switch which gives FME an extra 1 GB of address space. This will be a boon for many of our larger users who are likely to go bananas with this extra memory at their disposal.'

Who uses our technology?: 

Who uses our technology? Autodesk Licenses technology for their Mapping products ESRI Data Interoperability Extension is our technology rebranded. Licenses our GML SF technology and WFS client technology. General Electric Smallworld Resells our technology as gateway to their GIS IBM FME supports IBM DB2 Spatial Integration with IBM/Ascential technology in development.

Who uses our technology? Informatica We have developed extension to their ETL solution Intergraph Licenses FME technology for its GTechnology product MapInfo Licenses technology for MapInfo professional Microsoft Licenses technology for MapPoint Services Integration with SQLServer Integration Services (SSIS). Oracle Used by consultants and users.

What is Interoperability?: 

What is Interoperability? It isn’t just about format!

What is Interoperability?: 

What is Interoperability? 220 V AC 220 V ~ 110 V CONVERTER

Spatial ETL: 

Spatial ETL ETL stands for Extract, Transform and Load. technology that enables organizations to move data from multiple sources, reformat and/or cleanse it, and load it into other database(s), a data mart or a data warehouse for analysis, or on another operational system to support a business process. Spatial ETL is an ETL tool with a spatial focus.

Spatial ETL not = changing formats: 

Spatial ETL not = changing formats Shape -andgt; Shape AutoCAD -andgt; AutoCAD DGN-andgt;DGN GML-GML

Value of Spatial ETL: 

Value of Spatial ETL Decisions rely on users getting access to data. Data is scattered all over the world in a myriad of formats, projections, and a variable state of health. Historically Decision Support has not worked with Location Data. location data was collected primarily for map production. location data now collected for analysis and other intelligent applications. Spatial ETL is about getting the data from where it is to where it needs to be. It is not a data creation tool (GIS is for this) It is not a reporting tool.

Spatial ETL: 

Spatial ETL

Spatial ETL Functional Areas: 

Spatial ETL Functional Areas Spatial ETL

Inspect: 

Inspect Must be able to inspect data before, after, and during transformation process.

Cleanse: 

Cleanse Use Spatial ETL to identify errors and to assist cleanup/fixing the errors.

Transform: 

Transform Data restructuring both in terms of attribution and geometry is key!

Federate: 

Federate Must be able to access data where it is and share as federated(unified) dataview. Can’t require data to be copied to one datastore.

What is Safe’s Role: 

What is Safe’s Role Major GIS vendors currently license our Spatial ETL technology. Autodesk, ESRI, Intergraph, MapInfo, …. Safe is the leading vendor in the Spatial ETL market. Traditional ETL/BI vendors can also benefit Databases now support spatial natively. IBM DB2/Informix, Oracle, MySQL, PostGIS, … Spatial ETL is complimentary to ETL IBM, Informatica, Microsoft, Oracle, … are more powerful with spatial capabilities in their ETL offerings. Business/Location Intelligence Decision-making benefits from incorporation of location information. Safe Software is the company that focuses on bringing spatial data to all applications.

What does Safe Software Do?: 

What does Safe Software Do? Quick Translation Move data easily from one system to another. Data Transformation Complete control of data restructuring. Graphical environment for data restructuring. Data Integration/Aggregation/Mashups Share data across boundaries. Software boundaries Across the MIS and GIS divide. With Other Organizations Product Integration Make our technology available to users in other environments Access data in any tool using our technology Safe’s goal is to give users access to Spatial ETL technology within the application of their choice!
