Safe Software and WeoGeo Partnership

July 18, 2008
by Paul Bissett

The facts of this partnership are well covered by the press release and Directions Magazine’s coverage (see Adena Schutzberg’s article and podcast). I thought I would give a bit more of the why.

1) ETL is fundamental to the needs of our customer base.
2) Safe is the best at spatial ETL.
3) People trust Safe for ETL.
4) If you use CAD or GIS software, there is a good chance you use Safe Software.

For a marketplace to be successful, its players have to trust their interactions and delivery mechanisms. Safe operates on over 200 different file formats across multiple platforms. Bringing this type of technology to our users is critical to our success; bringing Safe to our customers is just good sense.

What does Safe get out of this? We give them the cloud for FME Server and provide their users with the path to the future of web infrastructure.

Together, we get to focus on our strengths and bring new tools to bear on our respective businesses.

I am excited about our opportunities and the impacts I believe we will have on the spatial industry.

    Any way Emerging Technology, a spin off of a NASA lab (Stennis Space Center), and provider of hyperspectral imaging solutions (hardware and software) could develop a partnership with WebGeo?
    Looking forward to hearing from you.
    Kindest regards,
