Intergraph to Resell FME Products from Safe Software
Reseller agreement strengthens Intergraph's strategy to extend data access
NEW ORLEANS, May 20, 2003 - GeoSpatial World 2003 - Intergraph Mapping and
Geospatial Solutions announced today that it will immediately begin
reselling Safe Software's Feature Manipulation Engine (FME)(R) products,
including FME Desktop Suite, FME Professional Suite, FME Intergraph Suite,
FME Oracle Suite and the FME GDO for GeoMedia(R) WebMap. The FME Suite
provides Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) tools for spatial data and
supports more than 100 formats, including several Geography Markup Language
(GML) 2 dialects. The FME GDO takes advantage of Intergraph's Geographic
Data Objects (GDO) interoperability technology to extend GeoMedia WebMap
capabilities to access even more geographic data in its native format.
"Reselling Safe's FME products with our GeoMedia solutions gives customers a
convenient way to acquire all of the tools they need to extend data access
and delivery workflows," said David Holmes, director of worldwide product
strategy, Intergraph Mapping and Geospatial Solutions. "With GeoMedia's open
data access functionality and FME's powerful high-data-volume transformation
capabilities, organizations can be assured of productive workflows as they
share and integrate data from a variety of sources and formats."
FME complements GeoMedia's data access capabilities by providing users with
data transformation technologies for highly productive mass data migration.
Coupling FME and GeoMedia proves particularly beneficial to users as they
migrate to new environments or when they need an automated means to deliver
data in different formats to customers.
Safe Software is a Team GeoMedia Registered Solutions Center member and an
exhibitor (booth 202) at GeoSpatial World 2003. Dale Lutz from Safe
Software, will be speaking on "GML: User Perspectives" Wednesday, May 21, at
11:30 am. Lutz will also present "Solving Spatial Data Migration and
Distribution challenges" on Wednesday, May 21, at 10 a.m. during the demo
theatre.
