requirement change and is capable to fit or integrate with the existing
applications and infrastructure of the regulator and statistical bodies.
The Data Submission Platform is an integral part of the end-to-end
Integrated Information Management Platform which provides the inevitable
functionalities for data collection, data processing, data sourcing, data
processing and data staging before the data is transported/transformed and
loaded into the back-end Data Lake/Data Warehouse for generation of useful
information and reports.
Being a single platform for all type of submission data, the system must
be inclusive to cater for all data submission needs of the regulators and
statistical bodies. With all its operational functions standardised, it is
independent from any specific data / content of various subject areas, so as to
enable future scaling to other data / content subject areas. The intention is to
move away from silo’ed submission systems by standardising and
consolidating generic submission functions across all subject areas.
The platform adopts a proven Submission Framework and Methodology,
and it is build based on the cutting-edge technology and carefully-engineered
algorithms which will overcome the following challenges:
1. Submission Operational Efficiency
With the Standardised and unified Submission Framework as the base
layer, the submission obligation is configurable to cater for the
diversification of all type of data submission or reporting needs. Reduced
reporting overhead for system owner and Reporting Entity (RE) via
enabling submission through a single reporting or submission platform
and via a single point of entry.
2. Submission Processing Efficiency
The platform adopts Content-free concept to support multiple data
submission or reporting channels and can easily integrate with the Master
Data Management System (Taxonomy Management, Reference Registry,
Entity Database and Metadata Repository etc) and respective content
processors. It supports two-way integration with various Content
Processors to enable end-to-end submission status tracking and facilitates
the complete loop of submission flow.
3. Streamlined Submission Process
The platform’s Functional Model is a thinking model used to manage
and coordinate the solutions around people, process and technology. It
focuses in collecting data of various formats (by subject areas) from
respective REs or filers but can integrate with various internal business
support systems to facilitate master data sourcing, security authentication,
workflow and the Content Processors for processing the submitted data.
