Chapter 15 - Information Technology Management

   

 

National statistical offices (NSOs) and other producers of official statistics can expect a continued and accelerating rate of change in the years to come with further advances in Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, smart data and the "Internet of Things". These developments, combined with changing work practices, increased user expectations, competition from other data providers and a constant drive for modernisation and increased efficiency, provide an ongoing challenge for national statistical systems. This Chapter reflects current IT trends that modern NSOs and other producers of official statistics require, including cloud technology, big data, data visualization techniques, new methods of data collection and dissemination, and data integration.
