- 4. What are BI Tools? What is Business Intelligence (BI)? BI analyzes data generated by a business and presents easy-to-digest reports, performance measures, and trends that inform management decisions. Business Intelligence Tools are types of application software that collect and process large amounts of unstructured data from internal and external systems, and visualize the data in a manner that allows for effective decision-making.
- 5. Location Intelligence and BI Combining your business data with geospatial information provides important context to your data and helps unlock new insights
- 6. But dealing with disparate geospatial data sources can make it difficult to bring your data together into one central BI space.
- 7. Obstacles So a lot people just donʼt use their geospatial data. What happens to many businesses, is they let their valuable data go wasted because itʼs too frustrating or confusing to work with. If youʼve ever felt this way about your data, youʼre in the right place.
- 8. Geospatial data is not always easy to use The most common frustrations people have with their geospatial data are: ● It is spread across various sources ● It is in unusable formats ● Processes for analyzing across programs are complex ● Dealing with different coordinate systems

- 21. Using webhooks to provide real-time updates to data in BI tools
- 22. API - Webhook - Power BI The Goal Visualize Google API data in Power BI Report The Obstacles Obtain up to date data to visualize in a BI Tool The Solution Create Webhook in FME Server to deliver data to BI Tool The Result Visualization of current data in Power BI through FME Server Webhook
- 23. Demo
- 24. Try It Out Data ● API ● Database Applications ● FME Desktop ● FME Server ● Your favourite BI tool Resource: FME Server Data Streaming service + webhook + Power BI
- 25. Data Streams
- 26. IoT Data Sensors are everywhere these days sending out large volumes of messages measuring everything from temperature to GPS location The data is valuable, but how do you manage its sheer volume?
- 27. Location Data Streaming The Goal Collect and analyze data from GPS sensors on a vehicle fleet The Obstacles Thereʼs too much data! GPS locations arenʼt always accurate The Solution Use FME to filter the data into 30 second periods Move the points to overlap with the nearest road The Result Data is filtered, cleaned, and enhanced in real time as the information is sent
- 28. Demo
- 29. Working with Streams of Data Use a Connector transformer to pull in data from many streaming sources Use filtering transformers to reduce data volume Store cleaned data in a database
- 30. Summary FME can help you get your geospatial data under control FME Serverʼs webhooks let you run data processing workflows on demand Use Stream Connector transformers to connect to and process high volume data streams
