4. In which ways is the initiative creative and innovative?
|
With this application, users can obtain data and necessary statistical information quickly, easily and cheap because they don’t have to download all the content of publications,only the summary data, considering to the available internet connection is poor. In addition, users only need to download the data once when they are connected to the internet and access the data wherever and whenever they need to, even in the remote area which is no internet connection available (offline). This is very helpful for many heads of regional government who visit capital of the province once a month to collect data from BPS and go back to their place of duty in remote areas.
