1. 1 IT project for the 2011 population census IT Project for 2011 Census Instituto Nacional de Estadística. Spain. ITDG October 2008

2. 2 Main points 1.IT Goals. 2.Basic IT architecture. 3.Software. 4.Portable computers. 5.Technical challenges. 6.Conclusions. 7.Future steps IT Project for 2011 Census

3. 3 Some of the main goals of the 2011 Census are: –Reduce the number of interviewers that are needed –Give the opportunity to the citizens to provide information through multi-channels –To improve the use of cartography in the field work process –Georeferentiation of buildings –Improve quality of field work data. –Reduce time for disemination IT Project for 2011 Census IT Goals

4. 4 1.Collect data with portable computers: a)Integrate usable cartography. Coordinates of territorial units (electoral sections, under municipaliies divisions and buildings) b)Improve quality of field work c)Reduce time for disemination. 2.Put in production various channels at the same time: 1.Web questionnaire 2.Mail? 3.Personal interviews 4.Non active CATI? 5.Reduce the number of interviewers Proyecto Informático Censos 2011 IT Goals

5. 5 Syncronization of data in real time in the different levels of the geographical organization of census –Interviewer computer –Census offices: around 250 –NSI regional offices: 52 –Central office IT Project for 2011 Census IT Goals

6. 6 Planification. Three steps: Definition and general design of the IT project. Research about the integrated technical solutions: communications, hardware, software, security, etc. Selection of the technical solution

11. 11 Proyecto Informático Censos 2011 Software Data Syncronization –Management in a sure and non assisted way for all information between the different organization levels. Cartography –Support and coverage help for data collection, edition of territory data Managing the process –Massive data loading/downloading. Control of the data collection process. Interviewers’ control. On line elaboration of interviewers roadmap. Electronic questionnaire. Recording of questionnaires. Human resources management (contracts, salaries)

12. 12 UMPC Main functionality Software for managing field work, cartography help and editing. PDA Limited functionality Software for managing field work. Specific security systems related to syncronization and connection process Proyecto Informático Censos 2011 Portable computers

13. 13 Proyecto Informático Censos 2011 Portable computers-Security Remote access to the administration of the laptops Logic security of data Firewall for non authorized use. Tools to locate portable computers. Client certificate X509 V3 in external card Software to check the certificate, and deny access if: Card doesn´t exist Cetificate is not valid Software for encryption/decryption of data. Only authorized software will be allowed to run on portable computers System to block portable computers

14. 14 Proyecto Informático Censos 2011 Technical challenges Previous census: The experience can be used only partially Possibilities taken into account: –1.- Integrate components Java Web Start, OpenJNP, despliegue of software (Kaseya, FlashUpdate) + Tailored software + buy administration tools. Work on components integration very high without any guarantees of assurance the total integration. –2.- Technical global solutions already ready in the market.

16. 16 Proyecto Informático Censos 2011 Conclusions No projects directly usable No technical solution fully met our needs. Big technological dispread in the partial solutions researched. No guarantees of integration of partial solutions TECHNICAL INTEGRATED SOLUTION (pull of enterprises) PILOT IN JANUARY OF THREE TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS.

17. 17 Proyecto Informático Censos 2011 Future steps Second pilot in 2010 Selection of the integrated solution One aditional problem: the budget …Or may be the solution???
