Main advantages of using TSED

 

 

  • The user defines the framework without the need for specialized technical assistance.
  • TSED allows the input of data from different sources for one single indicator. This allows the comparison between data from different sources and methodologies.
  • The statistics module allows the creation of new indicators and the calculation of indices (e.g. the Human Development Index) in just a few steps, with assistance from the system’s wizards.
  • In the presentation gallery, decision-makers can select between maps, graphs, tables and reports previously prepared by the technical teams. These can be modified or exported to Power Point, Excel or Word.
  • The ArcView technology for mapping is contained in TSED, allows for the easy creation of maps with up to 10 levels of geographic disaggregation.
  • TSED technology uses the full capacity of Excel, Word, Access and Windows Programs. It operates in Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME and XP and requires MS Office.
  • The database administer module allows users with limited training to create and edit their own databases.
  • All indicators, sources and classificatory frameworks are linked to additional information (in word sheets) within the same system (definitions, information collection methods, etc).
