FME from Safe Software is the only true spatial ETL (extract, transform and load) platform that enables organisations to work seamlessly between a variety of popular GIS data formats and databases. Used by most GIS, CAD, ETL, and database vendors, FME has emerged as the de facto integrated spatial ETL solution. It continues to play a key role in overcoming the barriers to integration of spatial systems, such as corporate GIS and web mapping, with mainstream enterprise IT. In addition, FME is a valuable tool for assessing and improving the quality of spatial data, essential to meeting the expectations of the broader business community. The Safe Software FME Certification Program is a technical skill credentials program that helps identify high quality, knowledgeable FME users, consultants and trainers. Participants’ FME proficiencies are assessed through an exam, workspace exercises and, for FME Certified Professionals, a web presentation. Dale Lutz, Vice President of Product Development at Safe Software, commented that “LogicaCMG has deployed FME to help solve a wide variety of business problems, from integrating field workforce solutions to maintaining national datasets, clearly demonstrating both the power of the FME suite as spatial integration ‘glue’ and LogicaCMG’s competence in applying it.” In Australia, LogicaCMG has provided spatial strategy solutions to organisations, including the Victorian Department of Education and Training, the Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment, and PSMA Australia Limited, formerly known as Public Sector Mapping Agencies. The company is also currently supporting GIS applications in the local utility and energy sector. “Businesses are increasingly conscious of the value of access to geospatial information across their entire organisations. Knowing where assets, operations and customers are, and understanding their relationship to the surrounding environment, aids understanding and effective decision making, providing a competitive advantage,” said Peter Barnes, Lead Spatial Solutions Architect at LogicaCMG. “Customers are looking to the large systems integrators with capability across a broad spectrum of market sectors and technologies to spatial enable their businesses, and achieve greater return on investment on their spatial data assets. FME is an important but often unseen component of many of these solutions, and has been a favored tool within LogicaCMG for over seven years. This certification highlights LogicaCMG’s rich heritage of implementing core GIS, LBS and spatial enablement solutions, and of spatial dataset management.” About Safe Software and FME Established in 1993, Safe Software is the maker of FME, the only true spatial ETL (extract, transform and load) platform that enables organisations to use and leverage spatial data in any format or application.
