2. Objectives To show the links the Common Statistical Production Architecture and the ESS Enterprise Architecture Reference Framework developed for ESS Vision 2020 Implementation To introduce the artefacts proposed by the ESS Enterprise Architecture Reference Framework and present their use

3. Outline PART 1 : ESS Vision 2020 and ESS EA context and link with CSPA PART 2 : ESS EA Reference Architecture artefact The ESS capability model The Statistical Production Reference Architecture

4. PART 1 ESS Vision 2020 & ESS Enterprise Architecture – What, Why and How

5. ESS Vision 2020 : The 5 priority areas

6. ESS Vision 2020 and CSPA Further intensify the collaborative partnership of the ESS Efficiency in production processes Further identify and implement standards for statistical production Adopt enterprise architecture as a common reference framework Advance in sharing IT services and infrastructure Benefit from exchange of (micro)data CSPA value proposition Enable international collaboration initiatives for building common infrastructures and services Provide the ability to supplement internal capability by drawing across the statistical community Encourage interoperability of systems and processes Foster alignment with existing industry standards Apply a consistent enterprise architecture approach within and across statistical organizations Facilitate the reuse / sharing of solutions and services and the standardization of processes

7. ESS Business Capabilities Model – use cases To ensure that their Vision gets implemented effectively and efficiently Managers To make sure that the business needs are clearly expressed and implemented by IT Business and IT leaders To develop the architecture "to be state" and roadmaps and ensure projects are aligned to it Architects To deliver results that contribute to the "to be state" and expected benefit are realized Project Manager Key EA stakeholders needs

10. PART 2 : ESS Enterprise Architecture Reference Framework

11. What is the ESS EA RF A set of tools to be used by project/programme managers and ESS architects involved in the implementation of the ESS Vision 2020 The framework provides a common set of terms, methods, models and standards which form a starter set for the points that should be addressed in ESS Vision projects These tools build on the conceptual and global frameworks for Officials Statistics (such as CSPA, GAMSO, …) and aim to fill the gap between concepts and implementation.

12. Business Capability Model They represent what the ESS should/will be able to do The realised by a combination of Processes, People & Organisation, Technology & Information, Methods, Standards and Framework Principles They provide norms (decision) and guidance (design) for project architects They enshrine the ESS Vision 2020 values Architecture building blocks They define bundle of functionalities necessary to realise the ESS Vision 2020 These are the basis for deciding what to share and what are the implementation standards ESS EA RF components

13. provides –A generic architecture linking the key ABBs –A functional view of the 3 main business functions of statistical production –A tentative list of business services and their link with GSBPM and the ABB; –A set of design principles –Scenarios for ESS deployment (opt-in / opt-out) Refers to CPSA for statistical services identification, specification and design ESS Statistical Production Reference Architecture

15. ESS Business Capability Model

16. Eurostat Business Capability “An ability that an organization, person, or system possesses. Capabilities are typically expressed in general and high-level terms and typically require a combination of organization, people, processes, and technology to achieve.” (TOGAF) The scope is to model what an organisation needs to be able to do independently of the specificities of particular processes or organisational structures.

17. Eurostat Business Capability PEOPLE Skills Roles Competence METHODS Algorithms Procedures … PROCESSES Tasks Collaboration Business rules Application/Technology Information systems Information repositories Communication networks Standards Service interface Information models

18. Eurostat ESS Business Capability Model Supports the description of what the ESS members do or intend to do by: Setting a common language for the business Supporting development and management of ESS business capabilities Supporting capability planning (selection and prioritization) Enabling top down service identification

21. ESS ARCHITECTURE BUILDING BLOCKS

22. Architecture Building Blocks (ABB) The ESS EA RF identifies ABB which 1.Are homogeneous high- level functional components supporting the statistical value chain and the related capabilities 2.provide a basis for organizing technical infrastructure and services Business capabilities Architecture building blocks Technical Architecture

23. 17 Building Blocks deemed necessary to realise the ESS Vision 2020 in NSIs The basis for analysing the project IT developments and the reuse of existing components The ESS ABBs

24. 1.Autonomous: Business processes and systems are designed and operated without coordination with processes or systems in other units. This applies to those architecture components that are distinct. 2.Interoperable: Coordination is through interoperability. NSIs/Eurostat have the autonomy to design and operate their own solutions, as long as they have the ability to exchange information and operate together effectively (of the solutions). 3.Replicated: Coordination is through duplication. NSIs/Eurostat have implemented identical business processes, solutions and information. 4.Shared: There are common business processes, a single instance of a solution and information that is shared by all the NSIs and Eurostat. ESS Consolidation (what do we share ?/ what is unique ?)

25. NAPS contribution and reuse

26. ESS STATISTICAL PRODUCTION REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE

27. Reference Architecture for statistical production Functional Abstraction Layer (exposing IT capabilities to the process orchestrator Database Abstraction (GSIM "Structures & Exchange" groups) as API

28. Functional decomposition Services

29. Scenarios show how NSIs and Eurostat can choose to connect to/benefit from common and/or shared components/services Scenario are based on different federations /consolidation approaches: interoperable, replicated, shared Different scenarios can coexist in the ESS and NSIs can move from one scenario to another at their own pace depending on their national context Scenario for deployment

30. Scenario for implementation Sc 1 : legacy + shared modules Sc 2 : replication + legacy Sc 3 : intergration and replication
