Benefits/deliverables from Project
9
An Enterprise Architecture (EA) is build in 2010• Business architecture (BA)• Information architecture (IA)• Application architecture (AA)• Technology architecture (TA)• Governance system
GSO is considered as the first government agency in Vietnam to create EA
Benefits/deliverables from Project…
10
An ICT – Assisted business process is introduced A seven stage – business process model (Stat requirement
identification, preparation (design and build), collection, processing, analysis, dissemination, archiving) is setup
An application named SSIC (System for Statistical Information Collection) covers the first 3 stages of business process model
An application name SH (Statistical Hub) covers the 4 last stages of business process model
SSIC and SH integrated into one unified system to give highly ICT - supported vehicle for production business, at first at 2 pilot domains: ICP survey and Enterprise survey.
Data Mining and Business Intelligence Tools is provided
Benefits/deliverables from Project…
11
An ICT network infrastructure is installed within GSO An Wide Area Network network (VPN) for the whole system
connects HQ, 3 ICTs and 63 PSOs together as one intranet system A dissemination portal
Data collection and processing solution are supported Scanning technique applied to reduce overall period of data
processing for Censuses: 2009 Population Census : 8 months reduced (with support from
outsource) 2011 Rural and Agriculture Census: 10 months reduced (without
support from outsource) E-form and Web-form piloted at some subject matter departments
Benefits/deliverables from Project…
12
Equipment and software are upgraded• Acquisition of windows-based 1806 PCs, 100 notebooks and 79
printers for 3 local ITCs and 63 PSOs • Installation of up-to-date Office softwares (MS Exchange 2012,…)
GIS Application Support Mapping Administration Field Database in Vietnam is developed
Challenges/further activities
13
Implementation and updating of GSO’s EA New concepts and methods -> changing of perception of GSO staff Only GSO as a governmental agency has established EA: Experiences
Human capacity building to adapt to the new system Staff technical transfer and training in order to manage/control and run
the system (ICT/Network infrastructure). Staff training to have good knowledge and practices to follow the SSIC
and SH systems, namely to work in a new environment (high ICT-supported process)
Further development for the major domains to follows soon SSIC and SH systems
The Project have pilots on 3 domains: ICP survey, Enterprise survey and Population survey
There are about 35 surveys left need to be continuously developed in 2014 – 2015 -> Require time, money and staff for doing this task
Challenges/further activities…
14
Modernization of data collection to maximize the efficiency of the new systemThe GSO Modernization Project not focus so much on modernizing data collectionICT – Assisted methods for data collection should be applied, such as PDA, tablet for ICP, labor force surveys… and census
Making use of administrative data for statistical purpose to reduce the burden for data provider and data producer Difficult to access administrative data sources from line-ministriesAgreement with high-level persons at line-ministries for cooperation: sharing data for both organizations
