Network data is everywhere. People share information and create additional records, datasets, and files all the time. But do you know how to capture and use this data in your business efficiently? Are you sure which tools and technologies you should use for these processes?
The FME Platform is a great solution to collect and transform the network data you have. In a no-code, high-speed way, FME obtains data and information from local files, databases, data warehouses, cloud or web services, and IoT (but not only!).
During the presentation, we will share our experiences with collecting and transferring network data from different sources by using FME and also how we use AI/ML tools to extract information from images, scanned paper documents, or voice commands during field surveys.

That’s why
Large amounts of data, its complexity and
dispersion
High costs of documentation digitalization, data
migration and field data capture
Complexity of reporting changes to the network
Business processes based on incomplete
network data and employees’ knowledge are
less effective
