Stat2015 – Istat modernization multiannual program • Industrialization and standardization of the statistical processes in order to overcome the stovepipes statistical production model • Harmonization of statistical information • Foster the efficiency and reuse of processes, and the reuse of collected data • Raising the quality of statistics and reduce the statistical production costs
SDMX Istat Strategy as part of the Stat2015 program
Implementing the SDMX strategy 1. From a tactical to a strategic approach 2. Collaborating with other organizations 3. Design a suitable cross-cutting architecture; 4. Looking for the necessary funds to support the implementation; 5. Streamlining the internal workflow and capacity building actions;

Lesson learnt • SDMX is enough mature to be used beyond the data exchange between data producers (NSIs) and data collectors (IOs) • If SDMX becomes part of the strategy of Statistical Organization, it could contribute effectively in the standardization and rationalization of the statistical information systems • but … The top and middle management has to be involved from the very first beginning. Communication and capacity building actions are basic prerequisites for achieving concrete results Re-using software, experiences and knowledge is the only way to move forward quickly
