61. Presentation Title 60 Spatial ETL  ETL stands for  Extract, Transform and Load.  technology that enables organizations to move data from multiple sources, reformat and/or cleanse it, and load it into other database(s), a data mart or a data warehouse for analysis, or on another operational system to support a business process.  Spatial ETL is an ETL tool with a spatial focus.

62. Spatial ETL not = changing formats Shape -> Shape AutoCAD -> AutoCAD DGN->DGN GML-GML

63. Presentation Title 62 Value of Spatial ETL  Decisions rely on users getting access to data.  Data is scattered all over the world in a myriad of formats, projections, and a variable state of health.  Historically Decision Support has not worked with Location Data.  location data was collected primarily for map production.  location data now collected for analysis and other intelligent applications.  Spatial ETL is about getting the data from where it is to where it needs to be.  It is not a data creation tool (GIS is for this)  It is not a reporting tool.

64. Presentation Title 63 Spatial ETL

65. Presentation Title 64 Spatial ETL Functional Areas Spatial ETL InspectCleanseTransformFederate

66. Presentation Title 65 Inspect Must be able to inspect data before, after, and during transformation process.

67. Presentation Title 66 Cleanse Use Spatial ETL to identify errors and to assist cleanup/fixing the errors.

68. Presentation Title 67 Transform Data restructuring both in terms of attribution and geometry is key!

69. Presentation Title 68 Federate  Must be able to access data where it is and share as federated(unified) dataview.  Can’t require data to be copied to one datastore.

70. Presentation Title 69 What is Safe’s Role Major GIS vendors currently license our Spatial ETL technology.  Autodesk, ESRI, Intergraph, MapInfo, ….  Safe is the leading vendor in the Spatial ETL market. Traditional ETL/BI vendors can also benefit Databases now support spatial natively. IBM DB2/Informix, Oracle, MySQL, PostGIS, … Spatial ETL is complimentary to ETL IBM, Informatica, Microsoft, Oracle, … are more powerful with spatial capabilities in their ETL offerings. Business/Location Intelligence  Decision-making benefits from incorporation of location information. Safe Software is the company that focuses on bringing spatial data to all applications.

71. Presentation Title 70 What does Safe Software Do? Quick Translation  Move data easily from one system to another. Data Transformation  Complete control of data restructuring.  Graphical environment for data restructuring. Data Integration/Aggregation/Mashups  Share data across boundaries. 1. Software boundaries 2. Across the MIS and GIS divide. 3. With Other Organizations Product Integration  Make our technology available to users in other environments  Access data in any tool using our technology Safe’s goal is to give users access to Spatial ETL technology within the application of their choice!
