This public company (www.sardegnastatistiche.it) is a research center with many publications concerning Sardinian economy. My goal as a senior software engineer is to help developing a BI oriented data backend and a web frontend for statistical data publication. The data backend is currently under development and it is based on the PENTAHO business intelligence suite. The web platform (middle tier and XML data frontends) was developed in PHP5+frameworks (symfony) and and was designed to make extensive use of Web Services interoperability. The data frontend and publishing services completely decouple data flows (XML) from data outputs (XSLT transformations). The WEB platform also has GIS capabilities that make use of latest standards (WMS/WFS)Online version can be viewed here: http://servizi.sardegnastatistiche.it
