INTRODUCTION
Vertical structure: consistent statistical
management from central to local levels: 63
PSOs, 708 District statistics offices
 Statistical data source: reporting regimes, sample
surveys/Census, administrative records.
 GSO conducts around 40 surveys every year
 Methodology and standard are concerned in all
surveys. International standards were applied:
ISIC(VSIC), HS…
 Metadata was built but separated in each domain

LIMITATIONS
Each department has its own collection methods
and no standardized data between survey forms
 The system of classifications is the weakest
element among statistical tools for the
development of data production, dissemination
and analysis
 Lack of systematic process to integrate data
across GSO departments

BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE
DEVELOPMENT - BA(APPLIED GSBPM
FOR GSO)

General statistic office Vietnam
Following “Vietnam Statistical Development Strategy
2011-2020 and Vision to 2030”. In 2011, GSO had a
bidding package to build Enterprise Architecture (EA)
under support of WB; EA was applied basing on OIO
framework to built
BA – business architecture,
 IA – information architecture,
 TA – technical architecture and
 AA - application architecture


Follow four strategies:
(i) Metadata-Driven Statistical Production;
 (ii) One Centralized Virtual Database;
 (iii) Synchronized Data Collection;
 (iv) Intelligent Statistical Analysis and Modeling

BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE

GSO) CONT.
Current statistical processes are quite similar
across all departments and consists 5 steps: (1)
Survey Preparation / Formulation; (2) Data
Collection; (3) Data Processing; (4) Data
Analysis; (5) Information Dissemination.
 Reference: Eurostat SBPM version
 Designed for all surveys in National survey
program
 Next phase, the model is reviewing for all other
resources

Step 7.1 Restore survey data: except restore
survey data after data entry, process and
analysis step; purpose to categorize data and
build data warehouse to support to search
statistical information, this step also digitalizes
statistical information in document format by
using Data Document Initiative - DDI protocol.
The questionnaires of several surveys were
digitalize when the data entry is used scanning
technology.

INFORMATION AND IT ARCHITECTURE
DEVELOPMENT - IA:

Situation
Statistic information is owner in different
department
 Statistic information was supported by more than 35
silo applications and many of them execute similar
sets of business processes
 No integration between applications

Solution
Needs to be standardized, centralized and follows
unique information flow under GSBPM
 Metadata-driven
 A configurable workspace application: interface to
just ONE GSO IT system
 Reference methodology: GSIM

APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE
DEVELOPMENT - AA

Three most significant important principles are:
(1) Open, service-oriented Application Architecture;
 (2) Meta-data driven;
 (3) One Centralized Virtual Database

GSO built the System of statistic information
collection (SSIC) and Statistical Hub (SH)
application to support all steps in the GSBPM.

General statistic office Vietnam

Establish the Core team include key persons from all
different statistical departments who understand
current business process to give situation and
problem need to be improved.
Choose the Model as reference and customize: 2010,
we chose Eurostat GSBMP. International Version 5.0
was released in 2013
Request to have an application support all main steps
of GSBPM to keep unique business process between
different domains and different departments.
Standardize the statistical data is the focus of work
and takes time.
Metadata-driven is the key to connect all components
and statistical indicators that allows to share data
and communicate more easily.
