- 8. Extract App With FME Problem – ESRI Clip ‘n Ship Service is too “High Strung” Difficult to maintain and apply. Solution – FME. We use FME to allow clip of datasets for downloads. The datasets are stored in an SDE. The downloads allow flexibility for file type and projections. KML’s may be immediately displayed in our Map Service. Implementation - Work with a Certified FME Professional.
- 11. What Is the Big Deal? - ETL Tool with a spatial data focus - ModelBuilder on Steroid - Versatility - Breaking the boundaries Proprietary technologies GIS / IT - Multiple solutions - Elegance - Abstraction - Coding is optional - Self documenting - Visual workflow
