1 VIP.ESBRs interoperability pilots Item 2.5 of the agenda IT Working Group meeting 2017

2 ESBRs project overview ESS VIP.ESBRs started in 2013 as European system of interoperable Statistical Business Registers Aims at achieving progress towards answering 3 current shortcomings Inconsistencies in business statistics and different practices as concerns the business registers Lack of globalized approach to business statistics in describing cross-border phenomena Inefficiencies in data handling procedures and duplication of work due to a lack of common approaches, tools and remote access facilities IT Working Group meeting

3 ESBRs deliverables in place Methodological and IT-related EuroGroups Register (EGR) 2.0 EGR Interactive Module (EGR IM) Interactive Profiling Tool (IPT) prototype Applications hosted by Eurostat/DIGIT (SICON) IT development by Eurostat Methodological ESBRs Business Architecture ESBRs Interoperability Framework Important contribution from Enterprise Architecture Data Quality Program (DQP) for EGR and national Statistical Business Registers (nsbrs) 3

4 ESBRs deliverables in progress 1/2 Methodological with IT accent ESBRs Interoperability Pilots Reuse of VIP.ESDEN, SDMX-RI, SDMX tools, Validation ESBRs Statistical Services Involvement of VIP.SERV Methodological Stabilizing the European Profiling methodology Integration between Profiling/IPT and EGR Quality criteria for EGR with respect to FATS statistics IT Working Group meeting

5 ESBRs deliverables in progress 2/2 Operational European Profiling of 300 major multinational enterprise groups (80% achieved) coaching and training of Member States on Profiling IT Working Group meeting

6 ESBRs interoperability pilots Relevant business case success criteria Finalized tests in at least 5 NSIs on core interoperability elements BSDG commitment to an implementation plan for the following years (based also on pilots' results) Best practices Focus on creating best practices for interoperability Limited focus on technical excellence Applicable to increased number of Member States Future use in production after consultation with Business Registers Working Group IT Working Group meeting

8 IT aspects Supported ESBRs applications EGR Identification Service EGR Interactive Module EGR Foreign Affiliates interface EGR CORE only for Eurostat administrators IPT prototype Reuse of deliverables of other projects VIP.ESDEN VIP.SERV SDMX implementation, SDMX-RI, SDMX tools IT Working Group meeting

9 Other aspects Preparation and execution calendar EGR cycle for ref. year 2017, i.e. from May 2018 to Apr 2019 IPT cycle improving the data of ref. year 2017, i.e. from Mar 2018 to Dec 2018 Combined calendar: Jan 2018 until Jun 2019 Extensive methodological content ESBRs Business Architecture ESBRs Interoperability Framework European Profiling Quality aspects of EGR, IPT and nsbrs IT Working Group meeting

10 Areas of interest A: Data exchange Standardization Automation B: Collaboration and governance Collaboration using interactive tools C: Timing/calendar Adaptability to (and shortening of) yearly cycle Interaction with national processes D: Quality improvement Output data assessment and input data improvement 10

11 Areas of interest A: Data exchange strong IT accent Standardization Automation B: Collaboration and governance Collaboration using interactive tools C: Timing/calendar Adaptability to (and shortening of) yearly cycle Interaction with national processes D: Quality Output data assessment and input data improvement 11

12 A1: Data exchange on the basis of SDMX-ML data files Objectives Demonstrate exchange of SDMX-ML data files for EGR Reuse existing tools (e.g. SDMX Converter) to create SDMX-ML data files at national level IT-related tasks Retrieve SDMX implementation artefacts for EGR Install and configure SDMX Converter Prepare data file(s) for EGR in tabular form Convert to SDMX-ML data file(s) Send SDMX-ML data file(s) through EDAMIS Achieve a successful transmission IT Working Group meeting

13 A2: Automated generation of SDMX-ML data files Objectives Automatically generate SDMX-ML data files for EGR Reuse existing tools (e.g. SDMX-RI) for automated generation of SDMX-ML data files at national level IT-related tasks Retrieve SDMX implementation artefacts for EGR Install and configure SDMX-RI modules Create mapping between national dissemination DB and (given) SDMX file structure Generate and send SDMX-ML data through EDAMIS Achieve a successful transmission IT Working Group meeting

14 A3: Dynamic transfer (pulling) of data from national SBRs Objectives Establish dynamic data exchange IT-related tasks Retrieve SDMX implementation artefacts for EGR Install and configure SDMX-RI modules Create mapping between national dissemination DB and (given) SDMX file structure Connect to ESDEN (TESTA) network Expose SDMX-RI web service to Eurostat for pulling data Achieve a successful transmission IT Working Group meeting

15 A4: Automated data exchange using statistical services Objectives Demonstrate exchange of information between EGR IS and nsbr on the basis of web services Test a statistical service IT-related tasks Connect to ESDEN (TESTA) network Establish communication of nsbr with new web service (which resides at Eurostat's side) Elaborate test scenarios and prepare data requests Test and help revise the web service Achieve a successful transmission IT Working Group meeting

16 B: Collaboration and governance B1: in the EGR IM environment, NSI users of 2 or more countries work collaboratively on 2-3 complex groups and document their interaction B2: in the IPT environment, NSI profilers of 2 or more countries work collaboratively on 1-2 complex groups (profiled during and IPT cycle) and document their interaction IT Working Group meeting

17 C: Calendar/Timing C1: NSIs demonstrate their interaction with EGR during the yearly EGR cycle and propose a common calendar for EGR and nsbrs (and attempt to shorten the EGR cycle) C2: NSIs demonstrate their interaction with EGR and IPT during the yearly EGR and IPT cycles and propose a common calendar for EGR, IPT and the nsbr and national Profiling cycles IT Working Group meeting

18 D: Quality D1: NSIs describe their interaction with EGR IS and evaluate its contribution to quality improvement D2: NSIs describe their interaction with EGR IM and evaluate its contribution to quality improvement D3: NSIs describe their interaction with IPT and evaluate its contribution to quality improvement D4: NSIs describe their approach to integrate (all or part of) the Profiling outputs into the nsbr IT Working Group meeting

19 Communications on the pilots 5 webinars for explaining the pilots (May 2017) Presentations to stakeholders ESBRs Steering Group, Business Registers Working Group, Business Statistics Directors Group (BSDG) IT Advisory Committee, IT Working Group, DIME-ITDG Information ESBRs newsletter Targeted information s EGR and IPT wiki pages IT Working Group meeting

20 Coordination of the pilots 3 seminars during the execution of the grants (opening, intermediate, concluding) EGR and IPT wiki pages Central helpdesk: ESTAT-ESBRS@ec.europa.eu Thematic helpdesks: EGR, IPT/Profiling, ESDEN, SDMX 20

21 IT participation from NSIs For possible financing Business Register colleagues at the NSIs may require IT expertise to apply for IT pilots (A1-A4) The effort of NSI IT staff to be also taken into account For pilot preparation and execution SDMX Converter installation and configuration for A1 SDMX-RI installation and configuration for A2-A3 TESTA connectivity for A3-A4 Calls to EGR IS web service for A4 minor modification of the nsbr software to call EGR IS may be needed Support for connectivity tests and transmissions over EDAMIS or TESTA IT Working Group meeting

22 Discussion Have you been already contacted by your Business Registers colleagues? Have you contacted them? Are you informed about the grants co-financing the ESBRs interoperability pilots? Do you intend to participate into the IT pilots? Do you have questions? Have you identified certain risks? IT Working Group meeting
