the future of Statistical Production CSPA

We need to modernise We have a burning platform with: rigid processes and methods; inflexible ageing technology; increasing cost of traditional data collection methods; inability to quickly respond to emerging information needs; slow to harness new and alternative sources of data (such as sensor, satellite); difficulty in attracting and retaining skilled staff in the competitive labour market. In an increasingly digital and data rich environment statistical organizations are struggling to remain relevant.

How does Architecture help? Many statistical organisations are modernising and transforming using Enterprise Architecture Enterprise Architecture shows what the business needs are and where the organisation wants to be, then aligns efforts accordingly It can help to remove silos and improve collaboration across an organisation

What is CSPA? CSPA provides a template architecture for official statistics, describing: − What the official statistical industry wants to achieve − How the industry can achieve this, i.e. principles that guide how statistics are produced − What the industry will have to do, compliance with the CSPA

Modernisation blueprint exists CSPA provides a reference architecture to help each agency modernisation, based on common standards: GSBPM GSIM DDI / SDMX CSPA allows us to modernise our environment and use existing international solutions.

What is the impact from a technical focus? CSPA is based around Service Oriented Architecture Standardised input and output Meet generic nonfunctional requirements Can be easily used and reused in a number of different processes

GSIM object GSBPM - process What is the impact from a technical focus? The standard inputs and outputs are described using GSIM. The function of the service is described using GSBPM. Organisations will need to adopt these standards.

What is the impact from a technical focus? Technology Architecture CSPA does not prescribe technology environments of statistical organizations.

Quick Facts 1)CSPA will provide services built by the statistical industry using architectural standards. 2)A full set of tools, templates and guidelines are available to help your organization implement CSPA 3)CSPA provides support for the whole span of the statistical production process. 4)CSPA has a vibrant international community actively supporting and implementing the framework.
