A Collaborative Approach to Agile statistical Processing Architecture ABS Experience and Aspirations Meeting on the Management of Statistical Information Systems (MSIS 2010) 26-29 April 2010 Daejeon, Republic of Korea Brian Studman IT Director, information Management Transformation Program
Topics • Learning from Experience - the threads of process, metadata, architecture and collaboration • ABS revised Architecture and Collaboration • Aspiration - The Information Management Transformation Program
< 1980s – mainframe, subset of metadata used consistently, 'generalised' software lessons • 1980-89 – PCs & client-server innovation chaos • 1990-99 - standard process & process control, output warehouse (specialising output & dissemination processing), Web site constant innovation, KM environment • 2000-2009 – data capture specialisation (BSIP), ISHS2, external view through NSS & collaboration
Lack of low-level content 'Posters' become dated too easily Business ownership of architecture flagged Architecture governance did not influence early enough in project Translation from architecture into high-level design didn't consistently occur Architecture Lessons
Multi-language issue – plan/design Senior executive 'champions' Incremental delivery – agile process 'Lead' organisation for projects Mutual respect & attention to detail Out-posting staff Collaboration Lessons • Mutual value proposition • 1+ solution is fine • Common standards and architecture • Genuine commitment • IP, licencing, on-going support, technology & project issues – plan to manage and manage
Heavy emphasis on metadata standards, 'active' metadata Paradata separated as a business value element Aligning with other international work e.g. SAB & CORA Focussing on NSI operations Merging: Process, metadata, architecture & collaboration IMTP • About business agility for complex information solutions • Usual business drivers: efficiency • Enabled by whole-of-GSBPM metadata management (DDI+SDMX) • Plus BPMS+SOA+... • Practically further international collaboration
