FME and Esri

Many Esri ArcGIS users often need to work with data that comes from non-Esri sources, and even share their data out to non-Esri users. But converting data to meet these needs is often so difficult that valuable business information is left untapped.

Fortuntately, FME makes it easy to increase data access across your organization. Tightly integrated with ArcGIS, FME enables you to quickly:

  • Bring any data into ArcGIS, accurately integrating large volumes of data from disparate sources
  • Store data however you want and efficiently share it out to anyone, regardless of their target system

Search here for information relating to licensing requirements, compatibility between various versions, common installation problems and interesting samples of using FME to load data into your Geodatabases.
