Data transmission strategy 1 « CNAs Each CNA send is own data, INE is informed and copied on sending. Take in account last year reorganisations of Ministries and Services Annual meeting with agenda items for data transmission Continue Survey to register which domains/datasets are sent

Data transmission strategy 2 « INE Continue and increase the use of eDamis, eWP included Detailed Look to domains not covered by eDamis Analysis of reports with the transmission media Find solutions to the “problems” presented by the production units that are not using eDamis

Data Preparation Process « Specific outputs to Eurostat Data transformation Included in last phase of production sw applications (ex: STS, Prodcom…) Extracted from data warehouse (ex: Census 2001) “Manual” processes with excel (ex: LFS, ESA…)

Data transmission process « One installation of eWA, at INE eWP used for Agriculture data The process of transmission is distributed at each production unit Approximately 50 users using eWA

INE Local Co-ordinator Sits in IS / IT Department Plan and implement transmission related activities Report transmission activities Administration of tools Day to Day Activities Monitor Transmissions Manage user and domain permissions Support to users

INE Local Co-ordinator 2 Hours / week Distribution of time very irregular along the year. One more person ( on IT, for sw installation and communication) Starting of eWP requires more time than planned

« Next Steps / Chalenges The SPC initiatives are now bringing results, the number of domains in eDamis are increased at INE, could also increase at others CNAs? Harmonization or upgrade of technologies for the preparation of data for transmission, that have been developed in the last 15 years. Difficult to maintain IT resources to deal with all the flavours.
