Asseco to take care of the Farmer system
Asseco Poland in a consortium with Asseco Group subsidiaries, namely ZETO Bydgoszcz and Unizeto Technologies, have signed an agreement with the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (KRUS) to ensure comprehensive support for the IT system that helps manage retirement and pension benefits provided to 1.3 million farmers. The project gross value exceeds PLN 92 million.
The project includes both the development and maintenance of the computer system used by the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund to manage the provision of retirement and pension benefits to farmers. This will enable KRUS to pay such benefits and process relevant applications on a timely basis, as well as to adjust their operating processes to legislative changes. The agreement shall be carried out over a period of 4 years.
“We will support the central IT system of KRUS which is used by 1.4 thousand employees in 47 locations,” said Andrzej Dopierała, Vice President of Asseco Poland. “Our task is not only to maintain the system operational, but also to ensure its development. Our specialists will be responsible for the provision, implementation and administration of two computing centers, as well as for modifying the system so that it satisfied the needs and expectations of KRUS and complied with the applicable regulatory changes,” he added.
In addition, the contractor will launch the system in the software as a service version to be integrated with the Workflow platform. The platform streamlines data processing and flow, and it also integrates individual domain management systems that are utilized by KRUS for management of social insurance contributions and benefits, as well as for document management and archiving.
The Farmer system has been created by ZETO Bydgoszcz, an Asseco Group company.
The Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (KRUS) is an institution providing social security services to Polish farmers in the scope of collection of insurance contributions, awarding and payment of cash benefits, including pensions as well as accident, sickness and maternity benefits.
