Case Study: San Jose Water Company achieves low-cost, integrated GIS replication and unified data access with Safe Software (FME)

San Jose Water Company - Customer Case Study

San Jose Water Company needed a low-cost way to replicate its in-house enterprise GIS for sister company Canyon Lake Water Service while being constrained to open-source tools, underpowered machines, and slow internet connectivity.

Using FME Desktop and FME Server, they built automated nightly workflows to replicate Oracle Spatial into a locally hosted PostGIS at the sister site, transform data for clean display in QGIS, and integrate engineering as‑builts, tax assessor records, and customer information. The solution delivered substantial cost savings, created a single spatial reference point for customer service and accounting, and gave the team confidence that the platform can adapt to future formats and needs.
