Statistics Lithuania activity  Statistics Lithuania provides high quality statistical information to population, business, academic institutions, public and municipal institutions.  Statistical information is published in the publications and on-line.  In 2012, 100 per cent of statistical information is planned to be provided on the Internet according to the Official Statistics Work Programme.  The website of Statistics Lithuania provides the Database of Indicators which has been created with the help of the PC-Axis family.

Use of PC-Axis in Statistics Lithuania  The PC-Axis family has been a basic part of Statistics Lithuania dissemination strategy from 2004 and onwards.  In August 2007, Statistics Lithuania launched a new web page of the Database of Indicators.

They allowed us using their system and did the basic work on adjustment to our needs.  Currently we use the following components:  PC-Axis SQL Macro  PC-Web components, PX-iMap, PX-iGraph as a parts of Database of Indicators
