The FME Platform
The FME Platform is the only all-data, any-AI platform and comprises three major products.
FME Workbench, an application of FME Form, is the no-code authoring environment for creating workspaces that read, write, and transform your data however you need. The key components of FME workspaces are:
- Readers: Components that pull data from sources, including databases, files, and web services.
- Transformers: Tools that modify, analyze, or restructure data to meet workflow needs.
- Writers: Components that output the processed data to a specific format or destination.
After you author workspaces in FME Workbench, you transfer them to FME Flow. Once on FME Flow, you can deploy your data integration workflows in event-driven or scheduled Automations, real-time data Streams, no-code web apps, and more. FME Form and FME Flow are essential for elevating your workflows to their full potential in the FME platform. FME Realize is an iOS app that extends the power of the FME platform, enabling you to build Augmented Reality (AR) workflows to visualize and interact with data.
What is FME Flow? 
FME Flow is a server-based application for handling large volumes of data at the enterprise level. FME Flow brings your data workflows to life with powerful solutions that let you upload and deliver data in a self-serve manner, respond to data and events in real time, and automate your workflows to reduce manual effort.

Self-Serve
Self-serve eliminates the need for a data manager or analyst to manually distribute data by allowing end-users to select and download the required data in the required format and structure, or to upload data for processing. FME web apps are designed for ease of use and increased data accessibility, delivering these benefits through a no-code web interface.
Automation
Automation allows you to process data on a specific schedule and to move data spontaneously across different systems and web services, even to mobile platforms and devices. It allows data to move from anywhere to anywhere without manual intervention. FME Flow Automations are very versatile and respond to a variety of events, both internal and external to FME Flow, allowing you to implement custom data processing with ease.
Real-Time
Real-time is the ability to react to and respond to events and sensor data in real time, perform immediate updates, and deliver instant notifications. FME Flow monitors and acts on events in real-time, giving you the most up-to-date data insights and information. FME Flow is flexible and versatile, so you can kick off workflows immediately in response to events or continuously process unbounded data streams.
