14. Review: personal view: +++ (2)
Stable and clear interactive profiling tool
Preliminary stat. frame reproducible
Flexibility (derivation prescriptions)
Local unit now own unit
Data selections, pull principle
HR+UWV  BBR+HR+BVR
Macro analysis
Objectives achieved
23rd October 2007

15. Review: personal view: -
Not ready yet for NACE revision
No research on new output for customers
No history on all legal units
Too few people have good knowledge
Retroactive changes almost impossible
For one statistic no data available on time
Project split: (scoping, prioritizing)n
Poor provision of documents
EGs not always in one event
Instability #emp  Identifications lost
23rd October 2007

16. Review: Audit Complex system Investments higher
1.0 restricted functionality, 2.0 is needed
Future proof
Not cf. Application architecture SN
Introduce unit + regression tests
Can be skipped, if short of time.
23rd October 2007

17. Preview 1.75, 2.0 versions, issues NACE revision
New trade register (BBR successor)
New Eurostat legislation
