CYSTAT: The road to modernisation

Statistical Service of Cyprus, NICOSIA
The overall organization of statistical activities in the Statistical Service of Cyprus (CYSTAT) is based on the traditional stove pipe model in which all the production processes are decentralized and carried out by the subject-matter Divisions/Sections. However, nowadays, there is an increasing number of National Statistical Institutes in which, the production processes are carried out in standardised procedures regardless of the content of the production output. As a result, there is increased efficiency and improved output quality. A valuable tool in the specification of the standard production steps is the Generic Statistics Business Process Model (GSBPM) which CYSTAT started to implement in 2018 aiming to standardise the processes of the statistical production and abandoning the stove pipe model. At the same time, the current technical infrastructure of CYSTAT faces several challenges. Thus, there is a need for the development of a statistical data warehouse to ensure the central storage and easy access to the statistical data and metadata. CYSTAT is a small office with limited human and financial resources. Any reorganisation requires a significant amount of time to be invested in setting up the new structures and processes while at the same time the business continuity should not hampered. The development of a statistical data warehouse requires expertise which is not available inhouse. Thus, an opportunity for CYSTAT to modernise was brought up within the framework of the expansion of the Government Data Warehouse (GDW).
