FME Desktop 2010 - removing the barriers to spatial data conversion

The FME Desktop 2010 release launches you to new heights in productivity, makes data even more accessible, and provides an expanded range of deployment options.

Propel your productivity

Dramatic usability enhancements in FME 2010 bring more productivity to existing users, speed up the learning curve for new users, and enable faster adoption of new ways to apply FME technology in your organisation.

Increase Performance

Safe is committed to ensuring that every version of FME is faster than the last. FME now eclipses the previous version by an average of 4% overall, and propels your productivity forward in specialised areas. You’ll experience performance improvements of up to 19% on multi-core Windows® machines, up to 5% on raster transformations (while using 50% less memory), up to 16% faster loading of large workspaces, and more.

Maximise flexibility

Introducing one of the biggest time savers in FME history: dynamic workflows. These use the source schema, a schema template or even a schema spreadsheet definition to determine the output schema at runtime. Now you can avoid creating multiple workspaces to perform exactly the same task on multiple datasets, or wasting time adjusting workspaces to accommodate a source dataset’s recent schema changes. Congratulations, you’ve achieved schema-independence!

Format Support

FME Desktop 2010 also broadens overall integration opportunities with support for over 250 formats so you can share even more data with a greater number of users. Some highlights include:

3D Formats: Autodesk® 3ds, Google Sketchup™, COLLADA, Presagis OpenFlight
Statistics Formats: SPSS®, R Statistical Data and SAS®
Data Sharing Formats: OpenGIS® KML, Adobe® PDF and XML (including OpenGIS GML and CityGML)
And more, including the Generic Format that means you can wait to specify the output format until runtime. A great feature when used in conjunction with FME Server.

FME Desktop 2010 is a testament to Safe Software’s ongoing dedication to advancement and innovation. Its unmatched format support, web based data access and scalable transformation capabilities make spatial data more accessible than ever before!

FME does raster - the movie!

How often has your area of interest (Building site, Site of Special Scientific Interest, Transport Interchange etc), fallen across the edge of one or more raster tiles? No doubt many times...Frustrating, isn't it? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to quickly clip out just the area you're interested in from those multiple tiles and glue them together to make one custom sized image? An image fit for purpose...

Well you can with FME! See how by viewing a simple example of how FME Desktop lends itself to raster processing.

Customer Quotations

I have been busy with FME since returning from the training. I love it!
