The application complements the mix of communication tools used by OeNB, such as its web presence, publications geared to specific target groups and several instruments aimed at enhancing financial literacy. Substantial synergies have been achieved by implementing the application in the existing information technology infrastructure. Basically, the application serves as an alternative tool for presenting data extracts from the database that feeds the statistics applications of the web portal; the application connects to that database through an interface developed in-house. The software itself was developed by an external software consultant. The whole project took about 18 months to develop and implement. The effort required to maintain the application is limited, as the application is built upon an existing and well-established infrastructure, and its administration is highly automated.
