FME (Feature Manipulation Engine) is the most luxurious Swiss Knife for the GIS User. Using this tool you not only can translate data from one format to the other, you can as well cut, saw, sew, enlarge; and even pull corks ... A Canadian user once said: ‘I once put in a Pizza and a Lasagne came out ...’. In GIS-Terminology this means: Transformation (Projection, Helmert, Affine, Rotation, Offset etc.), Topology Creation, Generalization, Overlays, Clipping, Table Joins ... and a lot more. The power of FME Functions and Factories is unreached. And using the new FME Workbench it's now a piece of cake to apply spatial data processing functions. In addition, if you do not know the data you want to process, just have a look and query it using the FME Viewer. Furthermore, if you'd like to distribute your data in the Intranet or Internet definitely have a look at Neapoljs Mercato using FME Server. 

In other words: FME is not just a translator. It is the most powerful spatial data processing tool that supports an extensive and ever growing list of formats.

The FME workbench offers a graphical interface for accessing FME Functionality. With it, you will easily be able to: Visualize and analyze the data structure of the source data Map or link feature types and attributes from source data sets to destination data sets. Connect feature types through FME functions to process individual feature geometries and attributes. Connect feature types through FME factories to process groups of features. Automatically translate between all the formats FME supports, including Oracle 8i Spatial and SDE. Generate lookup tables, SDE/SQL queries, and complex relational tables.

Neapoljs is the leading WebGIS System in Switzerland. FME is the leading GIS data translation software worldwide. What was more obvious for us to marry the two systems? Finally we did it and Neapoljs Mercato was born! Highlights: Based on Neapoljs, which means that ESRI ArcIMS, MapInfo Mapxtreme or UMN MapServer can be used as the Web Mapping Engine. Based on FME Server, means up to 150 formats are supported as source and as target. All translation processes can be configured using the FME Workbench. Based on Drupal, an Open Source CMS and Shop solution All functionality of Neapoljs Mercato can be configured over a Web Front End. If you use PostgreSQL/PostGIS as a database, everything can be held in-there: Neapoljs, Drupal and Geo-Data.
