Figure 1 – Connection of integrated information technology systems of the
Hungarian Central Statistical Office
The integrated information technology systems, aimed to support one or

be positioned according the statistical business process model, more or less
the same way as methods. This makes the connections between the methods
and the information technology tools more self-evident as information
technology systems are expected to implement the methods described by the
methodological framework.
This is also a great opportunity for statisticians to use information
technology tools that are fully in line with the guiding methodology. From
methodological perspective, the integration of methods into the information
technology systems and their use in practice increases the practical relevance
of the methods proposed.
Plutus indirectly connects with JDemetra+ (Grudkowska, S., 2016), the
experts of the Methodology Department are needed in the management of
the process. In the Plutus application the subject-matter domains update the
key information of the specific time series. Based on these given metadata the
methodological experts make the annual revision of the models with software
JDemetra+. Furthermore during the year the data and models are refreshed
by the subject-matter domains, supported by the methodological experts.
In this process all participants are key players, the information technology
tool Plutus cannot replace the professional knowledge in itself, but it is
necessary for the effective, punctual, standardised, good quality work.
The Hungarian Central Statistical Office also considers this is a good
example that the methods and information technology solutions need to go
