A global open‑source community supporting the modernisation of official statistics bringing together organisations committed to interoperability, co‑investment, and delivering practical, standards‑based solutions.
A message from Eric Anvar
Chair of the SIS-CC Management Level Group (MLG) and, Head of Smart Data at the Statistics and Data Directorate, OECD
Welcome,
As the landscape of data and official statistics becomes more complex, the SIS‑CC remains a cornerstone of innovation and collaboration. Since our inception, we have brought members and partners together to confront common challenges, turning them into opportunities through shared expertise and co‑innovation.
Our 2020–2025 strategy laid the foundation for product excellence and community-driven development—most notably through the continued growth of the .Stat Suite, our SDMX‑native open‑source platform that embodies modern, modular, and interoperable design.
With the launch of the SIS-CC 2026–2030 Strategy, we take an important step forward setting the direction for our community over the next five years. It focuses on expanding the reach and sustainability of our product ecosystem, with the .Stat Suite continuing to evolve as a modular, scalable, SDMX‑native platform that supports the needs of statistical organisations globally. Our strategy emphasises building solutions that not only meet today’s requirements but are adaptable enough to support the transformations of tomorrow.
A second pillar of the strategy focuses on strengthening our community—growing participation, reinforcing collaboration mechanisms, and enabling more members to co‑invest and contribute directly to shared development, continuing to create an environment where members can engage at different levels—technical, operational, managerial—and where knowledge exchange and joint problem‑solving become everyday practices.
Finally, the strategy highlights the importance of shaping global impact through partnerships and standards. We continue to position SDMX as a cornerstone of interoperability, AI-readiness, and efficiency, advocating for a standards‑first approach across statistical ecosystems. Through close collaboration with strategic partners, we will amplify adoption, expand capacity‑building opportunities, and ensure that our collective work contributes directly to stronger, more sustainable statistical infrastructures worldwide.
“Collaboration and partnership are at the heart of our mission, covering a diverse range of areas, working alongside a network of international partners to champion a “standards-first” methodology.”
The SIS‑CC has never been just about software—it is about people, knowledge, and shared commitment. Our members, partners, and contributors around the world continue to demonstrate the power of open collaboration.
As we look towards the future, we remain steadfast in our mission to innovate, share, and grow together. I invite you to explore our renewed mission, governance, and strategic direction for 2026–2030, and to join us as we continue this endeavor, to bring your ideas, your challenges, and your aspirations to a community where collaboration drives innovation, and innovation shapes the future of statistical information systems.
