Wait, when did FME become a cloud first platform?
Scrap everything you know about FME. There’s been a fundamental shift in how the platform works, what it’s built for, and how you should be using it.
We know FME. We’ve spent 20 years pushing this platform to its absolute limits. In that time, we’ve seen plenty of updates, improvements, and new features. But this? What’s happening now is a complete reinvention.
What’s Changed?
If you’re still thinking of FME as a desktop tool, you’re missing out on its true value and capability. Now FME belongs in the cloud.
Think about how many cloud accounts you use personally and professionally. Cloud processing isn’t “the future” anymore – it’s the new normal. Safe Software has reacted to this shift and rebuilt FME to fit a cloud-first world.
Now FME has…
- Seamless Cloud Integration: FME has native support for the cloud and works seamlessly with AWS and Azure.
- Better Cloud Performance: Faster, distributed processing engines that are optimised for cloud processing.
- Cloud-Friendly Licensing: Platform pricing now encourages cloud adoption with flexible, usage-based options, as well as easy-to-flex subscriptions.
Why This Matters
If you still think of FME as a desktop tool, you’re already behind. The cloud-first features make deployment, scaling, and cost management easier, smarter, and more efficient.
What Safe Software has done isn’t just an update—it’s a fundamental shift in how FME works and how you should be using it. If you have any questions about what this means for you, let’s talk.
