Software tools and learning resources to assist statisticians design, optimise and maintain statistical data collection processes.

An organisation may have the best data dissemination and data production processes amongst its peers but without high quality input data, achieving data quality and relevance of data products will be unattainable.

Data collection is supported by:

  • Flexible tools and integrations for data validation, data transformation (mapping) and converting data between transmission formats.
  • Data collection templates using common spreadsheets apps (Excel, Google Sheets)
  • Mapping, recoding, and data transformation processes.
