Case Study: Arkansas Geographic Information Systems Office achieves 73.4% cost savings and robust cloud migration with Safe Software's FME Cloud

Arkansas Geographic Information Systems Office - Customer Case Study

The Arkansas Geographic Information Systems Office (AGISO) manages GIS programs for the State of Arkansas and faced growing web traffic and rising infrastructure costs for its open data portal. To improve performance and reduce expenses, AGISO decided to migrate its portal and data to the cloud.

Using FME Desktop, they moved more than 7 TB of data to Amazon Web Services and now host the web front end and FME Cloud in the same region so FME Cloud workspaces can automatically handle user requests. By eliminating in‑house racks and hardware, gaining fault‑tolerant storage, monitoring, and strong security, AGISO projected a three‑year cost avoidance of $220,000—about 73.4% savings.
