The Ministry of Digital Transformation (Ministry of Digital Transformation) will launch an updated statistics portal created as part of the global digital transformation of the State Statistics Service (Gosstat) by mid-year instead of the current website, Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Education, Science and Technology Development – Digital Transformation Minister Mikhail Fedorov said in Telegram on Wednesday.
“At the heart of the transformation is an IT platform. It collects and processes data in real time, presenting it in the form of interactive dashboards so that scientists, journalists and businessmen can quickly find the necessary information,” Fedorov wrote.
According to the head of the Ministry of Digital, now all data are collected manually from different sources and in different formats. They are long processed in outdated systems and then distributed in the form of statistical files through Gosstat.
“Therefore, we need to fundamentally change this approach,” Fedorov stressed.
He specified that the Ministry plans to present an updated statistics portal in the summer.
The Ministry of Digital Transformation has been conducting transformations in the Gosstat since 2021 as part of the Swiss-Ukrainian program EGAP, implemented by the Eastern Europe Foundation.
The audit of business processes and IT infrastructure of Gosstat was carried out in cooperation with EPAM IT company. It also participated in developing a strategy of digital transformation, it said.
According to Forbres.UA, the total cost of the project is about 55 million UAH, which were allocated within the program EGAP. The publication also reported that after the implementation of changes, the staff of the State Statistics Service will be reduced by about 30%. In 2022, the staff of the state agency was reduced from 6,000 to 4,600 employees, including by eliminating duplicate functions in the regional offices.
EPAM Systems Inc. was founded in 1993 and develops custom software for various sectors of the economy. The company has offices in 25 countries and provides services to customers in more than 40 countries.
