FME Hub is a new product from Safe that gives the community and Safe a platform to deliver high-quality FME tools in an agile fashion to our entire user base. This presentation will show you how to leverage and integrate into your workflow the hundreds of free FME tools in the Hub. We will also show you how easy it is to contribute your own FME tools to the community. Finally, we'll talk about the product roadmap and where we are going with FME Hub over the next 12 months.
