This doesn't sound like corruption to me and does any government have good IT? Maybe Estonia?

Actually Swedish govt has really good IT. I use the actual app a lot with 3 kids in the school system here in Stockholm. It's not that bad, functional UI, but non-IT folks could easily have problems. Some stupid decisions - like a whole new app for reporting absences - where you get redirected there, but with SSO. I suspect the contractors here are the bad boys, but there should be somebody in Stockholmsstad who stops these ridiculous changes. Probably the project mgr in Stockholmsstad is not technically literate enough and is getting hoodwinked about this app being a security threat.

I hope this publicity changes things.

Even if some of the kinks have been worked out this still cost us a billion sek and counting.

It’s like something from the early 2000 and it’s sad to see.

You can “feel the requirements” as you try to navigate pages.

It makes my techie heart ache... :)

This definitely sounds like corruption, and every gov contract globally is handled similarly. The sooner people realize that their gov is not special, the better.
