Imagine the good old days, at any event!
And today...

• In the networked world
today of Clicks and Likes, do
we realise the vast amount
of data generated in a
minute or 60 seconds?

Are you a GIS User or Organization
generating and or consuming geospatial
data; suddenly finding yourself with so much
of data !

Wow ! nice car
What’s the use if
there is no fuel to
drive the car?

However big your GIS may be, but without
Right data, at the Right time, in the Right
Form your GIS cannot take off, it will be
grounded!

To fully realize the capability and benefits of
geographic information and GIS, spatial data
needs to be shared & systems need to be
interoperable
GIS data interoperability is the key!

One size does not fit
all!

It isn’t just
about format!

GIS interoperability:Traditional approach
THIS IS DEFINITELY
NOT THE WAY TO
NOT THE WAY TO
SHARE SPATIAL
DATA!

Unlock your GIS data from GIS formats!

With so many GIS formats achieving GIS
interoperability is no doubt a herculean task!

a spatial ETL (Extract,Transform & Load) tool
from
Safe Software, Inc., Canada

You name the format Support for over 345+ CAD/
GIS/Database/Web formats (including several OGC formats)

Convert spatial data between
hundreds of formats
Transform spatial data into the
precise data model you need
Integrate multiple different data
types into a single data model
Share spatial data with people
where, when and how they need it
