What people are saying about Locus

Darren was a really engaging instructor and the class TA’s (Training Assistants) were very helpful with any issues. It was a fun and interactive way to refresh on the FME basics and get insight into FME Flow which I’d love to learn more about going forward. I really enjoy working with FME because it’s incredibly satisfying creating a new workspace, watching it all come together and then having ‘successful’ pop up at the end!

FME never ceases to amaze with how it can simplify and create order out of extremely complicated data processing operations. It’s simple enough to dive into for anyone to have a go and we’ve certainly appreciated having Locus engaged on our projects and make full use of its capabilities.

What people are saying about Locus

With FME training, the instructions were easy to follow and the layout was easy to read and use on one screen. The presenter was very good in explaining each stage and any additional information.

Our Story

Locus was founded by John Arnerich in 2004. A Chartered Accountant by trade, John recognized an opportunity to help New Zealand businesses better manage their data with the help of FME. As Locus grew, including expansion into Australia so did the need for more experienced data and GIS professionals. Today, the Locus team is a diverse mix delivering the perfect intersection between business acumen, technical expertise and a dedicated client services approach(with a good dose of fun on the side!)
