ESSNet SCFE
Project Goal: "to set up conditions for sharing statistical services and supporting their integration in statistical production processes at national, ESS and Commission level."
SOA infrastructure ready
4 services delivered by Eurostat, 3 by the ESSnet
Service Catalogue implementation undergoing
Based on the results from the 1st ESSnet (list of selected services, available services) a 2nd ESSnet will implement and resuse services
Towards the end of the project a CoE wil bet set up for ESS-wide service governance and service assessement for the catalogue
ESSNet "implementing"
Mono grants “use in PROD”
CoE on Sharing Services

9. Next steps
In the context of ESS.VIP.SERV, 3 instruments are used or planned:
Procurement
Service Catalogue implementation*
Assistance on development and deployment of shared services*
ESSnet
Develop selected services and align architecture
Single grants
Implementation of available services in production (2019)
* Funded by ISA²

10. ESSnet for deployment
Reuse deliverables from the project execution phase (list of ESS priority services, guidelines on services and OSS, lessons learnt from example service)
Title* : ESSNET ON “IMPLEMENTING SHARED SERVICES”
Budget* : EUR for 5 work packages
Planning* : July 2018 to July 2020
* information pending publication

11. ESSnet Work packages*
WP1: Develop and reuse 5 to 7 new services from the priority list
WP2: Build technical guidelines for architecting and integrating services
WP3: Build a sandbox based on WP1 and 2 (and explore containers)
WP4: build a PoC production chain based on shared services. Provide collaborative best practices to use.
WP5: Create and communicate success stories
* information pending publication

12. Mono grants for deployment
Main goal: induce reuse in real life statistical processes of available services
Inputs: based on services in the catalogue (or from the deployment ESSnet)
Planned at the end of the deployment phase.

13. Beyond the project Centre of Excellence
Sustain all aspects the Sharing Services initiative beyond the project phase (documents, catalogue, assist in services selection and implementation)
Expert Group on shared tools
Merging work on SDMX tools and Shared Services
Giving input and help monitoring the CoE

14. Summary
Create infrastructure: Service catalogue, standard way of defining services DONE
Create governance: Different models for sharing the service DONE
Select priorities: Define priority areas or services of interest to be built for re-use DONE
Test the model: Ask countries to create services based on priorities, using the governance and putting them in the catalogue ON-GOING
Prepare it for production: Define the post-project governance and process TO BE DONE
