Provide spatial data in a timely and usable fashion
Allows for on-the-fly data transformations
Web interface supported

FME Server provides a means by which spatial data can be accessible on an organisation level in comparison to a individual computer level. It is an efficient and effective way to share data in the format, time and place that users (both technically-minded and non-technical minded) need.

FME Server Usefulness

As data volumes increase exponentially, there is an increasing need to pull this data together in a timely and efficient manner and present it in the right format. Also, it has grown necessary to present data in a manner that is concise and shows only what is required and meaningful to the time and situation it is used.

The speed and accuracy that spatial data sharing can be performed by FME Server eradicates the need to have multiple copies or segments of a dataset replicated in different locations, formats and projections hence saving time, money and minimising misinformed decisions being made.

Key features of FME Server

FME Desktop Solution

FME Desktop has provided a solution to the problem raised of presenting data in relation to the many different data types. It also allows the transformation and manipulation of data so that the data is shown in a way most useful to its viewer. FME Desktop also allows for automation of manual tasks, accurate data merging and validation and countless ways to enhance and maintain existing spatial data.

Key features and benefits of FME

Integration with FME Desktop

FME Server utilises the FME Desktop engine and hence its transformational capabilities, yet allows spatial data to be accessible at the organisational level without users needing the technical knowledge required to use FME Desktop. It also provides users with the option of customising parameters that transform the data, so that the output data is specifically useful for the each user in the organisation.
