place in the real world.
Below surface: Models below the surface are
displayed correctly.

19. TransformTransform
FME 2020.0 transforms data faster and in
more ways than ever before.
These improved capabilities give you and your
organization the power to make even more
transformative decisions.

25. What are Automations?
Event-Driven workflows consisting of Triggers and Actions

26. In FME 2019 Automations
delivered Orchestration
“Orchestrate complex
workflows consisting of
many FME workspaces.”

27. 2019 Automations:
Workflow Orchestration

28. In FME 2020 Automations delivers
Enterprise Integration
“Integrate and connect
applications across the
enterprise.”

29. 2020 Automations:
Enterprise Integration

30. Building Data Driven Automations is Simple!
Step 1:
Add FME Server Automations
Writer(s) to a workspace in
FME Desktop
Step 2:
Upload the workspace to FME Server and
feature types will appear as ports in
Automations
Now workspaces control the actions of
Automations!

31. What are Automations in FME 2020?
● Automations connect to data through the FME Engine using the
FME Server Automations Writer
● This changes how FME solutions are built
○ Users can build small focused workspaces to run in series or
in parallel
● Automations automatically maximize parallelism based on number of
engines
Automations deliver event-driven
integration capabilities to the FME Platform.

32. What can you do with
Automations?

33. Enterprise Integration Patterns are solutions for common challenges encountered by IT
architects when integrating applications. They provide a common language to use
when architecting solutions. EI Patterns are very popular amongst IT architects and
application integration specialists.
Enterprise Integration Patterns
FME 2020.0 can build 35+ EI Patterns:
● Content-Based Routing
● Dynamic Routing
● Scatter Gather
● Content Enricher
● Message Filter
● Splitter
● Process Manager
and many, many more!

34. What is possible with Automations?
Dynamic workflows
● Data controlled workflows
● Branch forward or backward to create
loops
Improved Project Support
● Automations and all components easily
added to projects

35. FME Server Apps
Taking data democratization
to the next level!

36. FME Server Apps
New Options
● Authenticated Apps

46. Pay As You Go
(PAYG)
FME Time
vs.
FME Engines

47. PAYG for FME Server
Changes the way you can think about
FME Server
● No longer only buy capacity
(“number of engines”)
● Users can buy work
(“cpu engine time” aka PAYG credits)
Increases server deployment flexibility
● Change number of engines anytime.
Available on all platforms
● On Premises
● In any cloud
Lays groundwork for “serverless”
offerings.
Note: This is a new option.
No plans to remove
FME Server Engine Licensing.

48. PAYG Use Cases
● One time, infrequent or big data lifts
● FME Server Apps
● Automations
● IoT & data streaming workflows
● Other “bursty” workflows!

49. PAYG for FME Server
PAYG for FME Server is currently a pilot program.
Safe Software is looking for customers who are interested in
using the new technology!
If you are interested in
trying out PAYG, contact
