FME + Data Virtualization Skill Booster

This 60-minute FME Skill Booster workshop is designed to provide hands-on instruction on the FME Platform's Data Virtualization functionality available through FME Flow. Join us to discover how to create a workspace, publish it as a REST endpoint, and provide live, secure access to your data without copying or moving it. You'll learn to leverage FME Form for authoring and FME Flow for hosting, creating no-code, high-performance data access solutions.

No previous experience of FME and Data Virtualization necessary. In this workshop you will:

• Get introduced to the concept of Data Virtualization and its key benefits to your data publication reequirements.
• Understand the roles of FME Form and FME Flow in a data virtualization workflow and ecosystem.
• Learn to automate data preparation processes to ensure your 'virtualized' data is always up to date.
• Master how to create and configure a new REST API endpoint from your FME environment.
• Discover how to consume and test your newly created endpoints using FME built-in tools and third-party tools like Postman.
• See how a preconfigured FME Flow app can use your virtualised data, demonstrating the power of live data access.

This interactive workshop will equip you with the practical skills to leverage Data Virtualization in FME. You'll learn to create live, on-demand access to your data, transforming how you deliver information. Perfect for anyone looking to streamline existing workflows or discover new ways to securely and efficiently share data, this session offers immediately applicable techniques and insights.
