A strategic decision in 2018 to go fully open source to bring our common solutions to the world at large. A number of key influences led to this decision, including to a large degree statistical organisations share common needs and similar processes, yet, official statistics are still a niche market driven by specific requirements especially in terms of quality and compliance with standards, and a strong culture of international collaboration. This probably explains why, thus far, no sustainable offering has truly emerged on the ‘official statistics market’. We strongly believe that the open source community model can fill this gap.
