Governments and their statistical offices face global challenges. A good example of a challenge at this scale is the development of indicators to support the Sustainable Development Goals in an age in which data is fast, big and heterogeneous. Similarly, most official statistics are published to agreed international standards. This situation has led to statistical offices making overlapping and, at a global scale, redundant investments, while not leveraging their combined resource pool of knowledge, infrastructure and capital. We present two services of the United Nations Global Platform: the developer service, and the methods service. Both are live, accessible services, that make use of modern architectural patterns and technologies in order to facilitate the work of the global statistical community. The developer service allows data collaboratives to explore data and developed code and algorithms; while the method service allows users to easily publish and consume statistical methods and algorithms using a microservice pattern. In this session we discuss: a) how these services meet needs of the global statistical community and make initiatives such as CSPA easier, b) what the services have achieved and demonstrated this far, and c) what have we learned by deploying, managing and using the services.
