ESTP Training Course “Enterprise Architecture and the different EA layers, application to the ESS context ” Rome, 16 – 19 October 2017

Towards modernisation… The official statistics community is since 2009 committed to a general programme of modernisation based on the industrialisation of production processes. Many international actors: UNECE and UNSD EUROSTAT Statistical Network (ABS, Statistics New Zealand, Istat, ONS, Statistics Canada) OECD, World Bank, ECB, IMF, …

... and standardisation A number of initiatives towards standardisation: SDMX for the exchange of statistical data and metadata among international organisations and their member countries (ISO standard in 2013) A reference model for representing the production process in an official statistical organisation (GSBPM, 2009) A reference model to describe information flows in an official statistical organisation (GSIM, 2010)

Modernisation drivers More initiatives: Eurostat: Essnets on standardisation and on a common reference architecture (CORA-CORE, SPRA) UNECE HLG for modernisation: Common Statistical Production Architecture (CSPA) UNECE HLG for modernisation: Generic Activity Model for Statistical Organisation (GAMSO) Eurostat: ESS Enterprise Architecture Reference Framework (EARF) Single national Institutes: Business Architecture models

This course aims to… Illustrate the overall concepts of the Enterprise Architecture and models for the EA based on the “ESS EA Reference Framework” and the “ESS Statistical Production Reference Architecture” Focus on the Business Architecture within an NSI Explain how to map GSBPM to the statistical processes and the related quality management Provide an overview of the main statistical and technical standards as pre-requisites for the implementation of the EA

This course focuses on … Business-outcome driven Enterprise Architecture: why and how Enterprise Architecture layers: Business Architecture Information Architecture Application Architecture Technology Architecture The Archimate modelling structures and their practical usage

This course focuses on … Business Architecture concepts and components: BA Business Lines BA Activity Model BA Process Flow (using Archimate modelling structures) Shared Infrastructures Guiding Principles

This course focuses on … Reference standards supporting Enterprise Architecture for Official Statistics: Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM): standard model to map statistical processes, generic quality indicators for phases and sub-processes Generic Statistical Information Model (GSIM): introduction and case study Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Common Statistical Production Architecture (CSPA)

This course focuses on … Enterprise Architecture for the ESS Vision 2020, the ESS EA Reference Framework (EARF): Objectives of the ESS EARF Review of the ESS EARF artefacts Statistical Production Reference Architecture (SPRA) Examples of the use of the ESS EARF in ESS.VIP projects ESS EA principles

Expected outputs Propose and encourage the adoption of an EA within their respective organisations Design a suitable Business Architecture based on the GSBPM Facilitate the development of an EA compliant with the “ESS EA Reference Framework” and the “ESS Statistical Production Reference Architecture” Understand when and how to apply standards in order to facilitate industrialisation processes
