Business Case National Accounts Production System – Services (NAPS-S) CSPA Workshop, Geneva 22-24 June 2016, Day 2 Daniel Suranyi, business architect Eurostat, Directorate C, National Accounts, prices and key indicators,

Objective of the project Re-design of the National Accounts statistical Production System using Eurostat corporate (CSPA compliant) services for managing and validating incoming data files.

Official statistics: the challenge… Official reference Cross-domain usage More timely policies Commercial providers GDP T+30 Shrinking resources € 🙎

Stovepipe production: the reality… Collect Process Analyse Disseminate Survey A Survey B Survey B

Stovepipe production: the reality… Customised for a specific domain Conventions used within domains / surveys Hampering cross-domain usage Leading to low level of transparency Not possible to share IT tools efficiently Difficult to share data across domains / organisations Difficult to measure quality

Example: National Accounts production in Eurostat Business process

Target: flexible use of statistical services Architecture for cross-domain usage Standards used across domains / surveys Enabling cross-domain usage Leading to transparency Encouraged to share IT tools efficiently Facilitates sharing data across domains / organisations Possible to measure quality (process, data)

The big picture: using standards GSBPM Process step categories GSIM Reference information model ☑ Statistical Production CSPA Service specification SDMX Data Modelling VTL Validation expressions

SOA & standardisation deliver… Shorter throughput from producer to user Transparent production process data quality (validation rules) Economy of scale & scope € 🙌
