This was a policy of the Polish government for which many votes could be won, so the system had to be robust, stabilised and improved to cope with the volume of applications received.
From the launch of the 500+ programme until January 2022, around PLN 178 billion has been paid out to families and around 6.5 million children benefit from the initiative.
The system was prepared in a very intensive environment due to its importance for the Polish population. The project was associated with great responsibility, as the government wanted to show that applications could be submitted online. The government guaranteed that every decision would be made within 30 days, so everything had to be thoroughly tested.
SOFTIQ formed special task teams from various disciplines. The programmers reacted dynamically to errors and bugs. A "war room" was set up in Warsaw. The Polish government was reassured that SOFTIQ was fully focussed on the safe implementation of this project.
