Abstract: This paper describes the first experience of data integration using administrative sources to estimate Structural Business Statistics (SBS) aggregates. It briefly shows the process that led to the construction of the “Frame”, the “integrated” dataset that is the base to derive SBS estimates from the year 2012. This approach represents an innovative way to produce business statistics: the use of direct surveys is limited in favour of the use of administrative data. Moreover, this paper presents an innovative IT proposal on how to combine the integrated production model and the warehouse approach for the production of Structural Business Statistics.This consists in a metadata-driven data warehouse of integrated SBS information which is well-suited for supporting the management of modules in generic workflows. Such a modular approach can improve the efficiency of collaboration among different statistical experts on common data.
