The challenge

What the client was dealing with

The program handled applications, approvals and support services for beneficiaries through paper forms, spreadsheets and disconnected tools. Staff in different departments could not see the same case information, applicants had no online channel, and reporting to leadership took days of manual work. The platform also had to serve Arabic-speaking and English-speaking users equally well, which meant full right-to-left and left-to-right interface support rather than a translated afterthought.

Architecture

How the system is built

The platform is a web application built on a modern application framework with a relational database, structured around separate modules for registration, case handling, services and administration. Hosting was selected to meet the program’s data-residency requirements, with environments separated for testing and production and with scheduled backups and monitoring in place.

Delivery methodology

Delivery ran in stages: discovery and written scope first, then builds with review checkpoints, user acceptance testing with program staff, and a controlled go-live with hypercare support in the first weeks of operation.

Quality assurance

Functional and regression testing covered both language directions, workflow permissions by role, and end-to-end case journeys from application to decision. User acceptance testing was run with program staff before launch.

Security

Security controls in this project

  • Role-based access control with least-privilege permissions per department
  • Audit logging of case actions and administrative changes
  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest
  • Environment separation between testing and production
  • Backup and recovery procedures agreed with the program
