Hello and welcome to the first What’s Up Wednesday of Fall. 

New Trial Process

New FME users can download FME and start up a free 7-day trial without having to wait for an emailed activation code, which means they can get up and running in a matter of minutes. After the 7 days are up, they can activate another 30 days by just simply clicking a link in their email. We’ve also updated our trial page on our website, so check it out!

FME AR Blog

The world of augmented reality (AR) is rapidly expanding. We just posted a new blog post highlighting 5 ways to view data in AR, including AR x-rays!

FME Hackathon

The voting for the FME Hackathon is now closed. Thank you to all who submitted projects and voted. The results will be out shortly! If you want to see the awesome projects, check out a recording of the presentation webinar. 

Industry Spotlight: Utilities

Utilities require vast networks across multiple systems to work together. FME can help bridge these networks. See our Data Integration Solutions for Utilities page on our website for more details. Or you could attend our course on Migrating to the Esri Utility Network, or read a blog post about utility workflows. Or if you are interested in learning how other companies are implementing solutions, read one of our many customer stories: FortisBC, Louisville Gas & Electric, and Enstar Natural Gas Company & Alaska Map Science.
