Since Statbus is the backbone for National Accounts and economic statistics, it is vital for monitoring and managing national economies. Contributing to the following SDG targets: Target 8.1 (Sustain Per Capita Economic Growth): National Accounts (and thus GDP) cannot be calculated accurately without a comprehensive register of businesses. Target 8.3 (Promote Development-Oriented Policies): One of the main functions of an SBR is to track the "formalization" of businesses as they move from the informal sector into administrative registers. Target 9.b (Domestic Technology Development): Statbus provides a resilient digital foundation upon which countries can build their own custom statistical modules, fostering local innovation in data science. And also indirectly contributing to other SDGs: By measuring employment for women and men, this helps Gender Equity Statistics By measuring employment over time, this measures economic growth By monitoring activity categories of businesses according to NACE or ISIC standards, this indicates innovation and trends in the industry. By establishing a statistical business register, we build official statistics and democracy.
Highcharts - The application uses Highcharts for data visualization and graphing functionality in two main areas: Enterprise History Charts and Reports Dashboard. The solution handles Highcharts unavailability by showing skeleton placeholders, but they are not required for data processing, authentication, and core business registry functionality. Could be replaced with open source libraries such as Chart.js, D3.js, Recharts, or similar. Seq Logging Service - The application is configured to use this service as an external dependency, but it is not essential. They serve enhancement purposes rather than core functionality. Could be replaced with open source libraries such as ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), Grafana Loki, or similar.

The Statbus system only stores information about the number of employees and the turnover in the company. However, there is no personal information stored on the employees, like names and phone numbers, just the number of employees. The statbus system is set up with end-user roles that have either admin-rights (can install, delete, and customise), update rights users that can read and update information, and read-only users. Changes are logged, and the user who performs the update is also logged. Each user has one user ID, and uses the same username and password when logging onto the application and when logging directly onto the database. (same rights - no shortcut into the database is allowed).
