Installation--->

  The identification mission

Background

A country wishes to adopt a software solution for compiling its national accounts. It has looked at the possibilities offered by ERETES. It believes that this software meets its requirements and can fit into the environment of its team of national accountants. It has obtained the agreement in principle of one of the owners (Eurostat or the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs). There is no doubt about the feasibility of this installation project.

Objectives

The identification mission must analyse the local equipment, IT and statistical environment in the light of ERETES' requirements and propose the necessary update. An in-depth presentation of the software will help the users to participate in this analysis.

Where appropriate, the base year will be chosen and a timetable drawn up for the first accounting year.

Activities

Analysis of the IT and statistical situation :

The analysis of the IT situation will list any requirements in terms of equipment, software and basic computer training.

The analysis of the statistical situation will involve a first census of the available data and will identify any measures that may be necessary to supplement the incoming data.

Detailed presentation of the module :

The in-depth presentation will focus mainly on the handling of the tool by future users. It will provide a complete view of all the work to be done, so that the full scope of this work can be appreciated and an informed decision taken to install ERETES (or not).


Fixing the installation timetable :

If the decision to install ERETES is confirmed, the installation timetable will be fixed. On average, two years are needed to compile a base year plus a current year. At the end of these two years, the team will have fully mastered working with ERETES.

Profile of the expert

The person in charge of this mission will be a national accountant with specialist knowledge of ERETES software.

Duration of the mission

Ten days in the country concerned.
