At the recent Big Data London event, the buzz was profound. Amidst the excitement, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Don Murray, CEO of Safe Software, a company that has carved a unique niche in the data integration space. Safe Software’s mission? To connect all types of data — structured, unstructured, real-time, and even spatial — and make it usable for AI-driven insights.

A New Frontier in Data Integration

When it comes to data integration, many platforms boast the ability to manage structured and unstructured data. However, Safe Software takes it a step further by incorporating spatial data into the mix. As Don explained, their platform, FME, empowers organizations to connect not just to typical data formats but also to CAD documents, PDFs, 3D buildings, and more. This capability opens the door to a range of innovative use cases, from managing office space with AI to building digital twins.

A Unique Use Case: Spatial Data Meets AI

During the event, Don shared a fascinating use case where Safe Software’s FME platform helped a company in London optimize its office space management. By combining spatial data with AI capabilities, they were able to extract complex information from CAD documents and use AI to generate detailed descriptions. The ability to seamlessly integrate spatial data with AI allowed this company to automate processes that would have been labor-intensive otherwise.

This use case highlights the versatility of Safe Software in handling all data types and velocities, a key differentiator that sets them apart from other integration platforms. Whether it’s structured, unstructured, or spatial data, FME can handle it with ease.

Unmatched Connectivity

What truly stands out about Safe Software is its extensive range of pre-built connectors. With over 500 connectors available out of the box and the ability to connect to thousands of APIs, Safe Software provides unparalleled connectivity. According to Don, FME can connect to 20,000 services via open APIs, making it adaptable to the ever-growing ecosystem of data sources.

As new APIs and data services emerge, FME stays ahead of the curve, ensuring users can integrate their evolving data needs effortlessly. Whether you’re dealing with real-time data streams, spatial data, or complex unstructured formats, FME has the flexibility to manage it all.

Why Safe Software?

If you’re in the market for a data integration platform that does more than just connect the dots, Safe Software should be at the top of your list. By supporting not just structured and unstructured data but also spatial data, Safe Software goes beyond traditional integration solutions. With thousands of connectors and the ability to integrate new APIs as they become available, Safe Software offers a future-proof solution for organizations seeking to harness the full potential of their data.

For organizations dealing with complex, multi-faceted data environments — whether it’s for AI, digital twins, or office management — Safe Software offers a compelling solution.
