The target was simple, but the tasks were huge. A newly made bureau with mostly new processes wants to go online. After the legal advices and the checking of their needs and processes we started the system and database planning. The core needed to be the Government window’s job handler, and the front to be the citizen’s appointment scheduler. The future operator has some restrictions for this application, so we had to plan with those also.

After the planning and consulting with the customer, we started the work. The product was a success, everyone loved it. The testing revealed some questions which we had to deal with, but the overall experience was very good. The next step was to make an API for the physical totem provider, so the citizens can get their queue number at the Government window. The largest task was to implement the core authenticator, we had to contact a lot with the provider until it worked properly.

After the first year the application needed some extra functions, which have also been added to it, and it works like a charm since the first go live. We learned a lot about government projects and their providers within this project, and since this we worked in many more in the past few years.
