19. The benefits of having a CSDA are:

  • Independence from technology: By using a technology-agnostic reference architecture, statistical organisation processes and systems will, eventually, become more robust to technological evolution
  • Sustainability: A reference architecture that is shared by the worldwide statistical community is necessary as a common vocabulary for exchanging ideas and collaboration on development and maintenance of new solutions, processes and systems.
  • Maintainability: Maintenance of statistical organisation architectures and solutions is facilitated by the availability of a reference architecture that is shared by a larger community.
  • Cost saving to global optimisation strategies/solutions: By referencing a shared framework, statistical organisations can better collaborate in the development, maintenance and use of common solutions.
