Objectives of the project

Cross cutting project of the ESS.VIP programme to:• Provide value added services for exchange of

confidential and non-confidential statistical data among ESS partners

• Define the communication backbone for the future ESS common infrastructure

• Support business needs expressed in the ESS.VIP projects

ESDEN – Benefits of the project • secure exchange of data and metadata with high

agility, high security and high reliability• easier usage of new data sources in the production of

statistics• high volume of data (big data or micro-data exchange)• creation of efficient and robust statistical processes

ESDEN – Costs / Deployment actions for MS

• Provision of Hardware infrastructure to host the communication platform

• Creation of communication link between NSIs and the National authorities

• Deployment of communication component• Usage of standard protocols for Data Exchange• IT support for issues on the local infrastructure

Status of the project

• SIMSTAT network infrastructure delivered on time for the pilot exchange

• Ongoing support to the countries for the data exchange

SIMSTAT data exchange in numbers

8

From 3,500 to 14,000 messages per NSI exchanged with ESTAT so far

Total is over 200,000!

Variations among NSIs are due to local systems being off-line
