Subsidy Motor containing a framework to collect the data and execute the calculations
Client:
Flemish GovernementChallenge:
- WSE department is responsible for subsidies in the work and social economy context – e.g. Subsidies that are paid to organisations aiming to help handicapped people to integrate back into the regular economy.
- WSE collects data that is needed to calculate the amount that should be paid out to the organisation, based on the current regulations.
- Strong requirement to never ask for the same data twice, so that integration with authentic data sources from regional or federal governments is key.
Solution:
- DXC Technology built a Subsidy Motor (SuMo) containing a framework to collect the data.
- HPE ProductXpress is used to design, simulate and execute the calculations.
- Added features to do the follow-up of the subsidies and related payments.
Results:
- SuMo changed their way of working and digitized the entire process. SuMo does the real calculation and follows up.
- Reduced administration, as authentic data sources are used to collect data automatically.
- Less administration for the companies and organisations that apply for subsidies.
Additional Customer challenges
Need to simplify the subsidies, but a lot of rules were not known.
Extra Solutions
• Added multiple types of subsidy regulations into the same system. • The data collection framework was split off from SuMo into SeMo (Service Motor) so that it also could be reused for other WSE applications.
Value for citizens/government
• Increased accuracy and ensured correctness. • Know when to ask for what data.
