                           Figure 1: Main flows in the chain, central role for the SBR


               In order to satisfy the requirement as structural backbone the SBR has to
            be the central place where statistical units and their main characteristics are
            stored and maintained. The Dutch SBR contains therefore the identifying and
            structural data on businesses at the level of three types of Statistical Units; the
            Enterprise Groups (EG), Enterprises (Ent) and Local Enterprise Units (LEU). The
            mandatory utilization of these Statistical Units and the frames derived from
            the  backbone  are  in  turn  a  precondition  for  coordination  of  the  statistical
            output of the chain. And last but not least, the SBR has been expanded and
            should also facilitate the linkage of administrative units and their information
            to statistical units. The SBR thus fulfills the role of both:
                -   Population frame and;
                -   Statistical frame and as well as of;
                -   Coupling frame

            4. Business value of SBR
               The challenges require agile responses, driven by maximal increases of the
            business  value  of  SBR.  Statistics  Netherlands  uses  a  strategic  agenda.
            Improvements have to fit within this agenda. A top-down approach. Besides
            that, the business value of the business register can be determined and any
            proposal for  a  change can  be  evaluated  by  estimating  the  contributing  of
            products  and  services  from  SBR  towards  official  statistics.  A  bottom-up
            approach.
               4.1 Business strategy and SBR
               The main topics and their corresponding objectives of the strategic
               agenda, regarding SBR are:
               Innovation to create new and faster services, cost reduction and low
               administrative burden;
               Phenomenon-oriented to adopt a phenomenon and society-oriented
               approach;
               Paid services to increase usage of products and services;

                                                                 4 | I S I   W S C   2 0 1 9
