1. ESTP Training Course “Enterprise Architecture and the different EA layers, application to the ESS context ”
Rome, 16 – 19 October 2017

2. Towards modernisation…
The official statistics community is since 2009 committed to a general programme of modernisation based on the industrialisation of production processes.
Many international actors:
UNECE and UNSD
EUROSTAT
Statistical Network (ABS, Statistics New Zealand, Istat, ONS, Statistics Canada)
OECD, World Bank, ECB, IMF, …

3. ... and standardisation
A number of initiatives towards standardisation:
SDMX for the exchange of statistical data and metadata among international organisations and their member countries (ISO standard in 2013)
A reference model for representing the production process in an official statistical organisation (GSBPM, 2009)
A reference model to describe information flows in an official statistical organisation (GSIM, 2010)

4. Modernisation drivers
More initiatives:
Eurostat: Essnets on standardisation and on a common reference architecture (CORA-CORE, SPRA)
UNECE HLG for modernisation: Common Statistical Production Architecture (CSPA)
UNECE HLG for modernisation: Generic Activity Model for Statistical Organisation (GAMSO)
Eurostat: ESS Enterprise Architecture Reference Framework (EARF)
Single national Institutes: Business Architecture models
