5. Not so positive developments 2012
Problems with the old CMS system (project)
A few cases when publishing was delayed
One case when publications went out too early
Old system is complicated and poorly documented
Even some weird things happen sometimes
Problems with in house deadlines for statistical releases
In house deadline of statistical releases (publications and database tables) is still on the day before publishing
The deadline is not always met
The follow-up process of corrections is integrated with ERP system
The time between in house deadline and release time is not sufficient
