Stat2015 – Istat modernization multiannual program

• Industrialization and standardization of the

statistical processes in order to overcome the stovepipes statistical production model

• Harmonization of statistical information
• Foster the efficiency and reuse of processes, and

the reuse of collected data

• Raising the quality of statistics and reduce the

statistical production costs

SDMX Istat Strategy as part of the Stat2015 program

Implementing the SDMX strategy

• 1. From a tactical to a strategic approach
• 2. Collaborating with other organizations
• 3. Design a suitable cross-cutting architecture;
• 4. Looking for the necessary funds to support

the implementation;

• 5. Streamlining the internal workflow and

capacity building actions;

Lesson learnt

• SDMX is enough mature to be used beyond the data

exchange between data producers (NSIs) and data collectors (IOs)

• If SDMX becomes part of the strategy of Statistical

Organization, it could contribute effectively in the standardization and rationalization of the statistical information systems

• but …

 The top and middle management has to be involved from the very first beginning.  Communication and capacity building actions are basic prerequisites for achieving concrete results  Re-using software, experiences and knowledge is the

• nly way to move forward quickly
