Synchronizing GIS and CAD (DGN) with FME -- can it be done?


I am a newcomer to using FME products. I have been reading several documents relating to my question. However, I would like to have an answer directly from your staff.

We are a two shop software (Bentley Product) MS – used by our designer. GIS – used as an asset management tool.

At this time we are also maintaining our assets data in MS as well as in GIS. The purpose for this practice is that our designers are able to consume the historical data while designing a project from our MS asset registry data repository. This process is becoming a lot more Painstaking an enormous amount of work for our MS and GIS staff as well as major duplication of effort.

My goal is to be able to maintain one assets data repository (GIS) and have our designer consume this data in the MS environment thru a conversation/extract tool from GIS to DGN. At the same time, thru transformation, be able to maintain and display the feature Standard developed by our designing staff with the collaboration of Bentley.

Please advise if this is doable and what would it take to make this happen…
