Summary

  Benefits of using FME:   Very easy to make adjustments to the analysis

to account for unforeseen problems or issues   Saves a significant amount of time and energy

in a complex and ever changing analytical environment

  Workspaces or parts of workspaces are easily retrofitted for use on other projects

  Workspaces can be used as templates for documenting methodologies as well as files used in a particular analysis.
