Empowering Local Government with FME: Fremont’s Path to RIPA Compliance

Don't Panic! It's Just Data

Safe Software's Feature Manipulation Engine (FME) plays a pivotal role in the City of Fremont's operations, particularly in ensuring accurate and efficient data submissions under the Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA). By automating complex workflows and enhancing data quality, FME not only ensures seamless compliance with RIPA requirements but also optimises processes for their ITS and GIS divisions.

FME also drives innovation in projects like the DroneSense programme and their Cityworks asset management integration. With seamless data integration and powerful visualisations, FME empowers the City of Fremont to enhance operations, improve asset management, and support informed decision-making.
