HiQ has developed a new web platform for the Swedish Inheritance Fund. Its focus is on accessibility and an improved customer experience. “This opportunity to contribute our expertise in web development for the public sector is both a great honour and enjoyable”, says Anders Nilsson, Managing Director of HiQ Mälardalen.

HiQ has completely overhauled arvsfonden.se together with the Swedish Inheritance Fund. The purpose is to improve accessibility and give better support for visitors to the website.

“Our aim with the new arvsfonden.se is to make it simpler to apply for grants from the Swedish Inheritance Fund, and give better support to project managers working on Fund projects. We also want to give clear information for anyone interested in how the Swedish Inheritance Fund works and its beneficial role in society,” says Pontus Ekstedt, department head at the Inheritance Fund department.

The work has included a new grant application page with more clear information on how to place an application and what is required to receive a grant, and a page with collected information for project managers of fund projects. The navigation and content has also been reworked to be more clear and helpful.

The aim was also for the new web to be highly accessible, to simply access for website visitors who use ease of access helps such as reading tools. In addition to meeting the accessibility requirements of the WCAG standard, the Fund project “DigiKog – Cognitively accessible digital products and services” has assisted in making the web more easily accessible for users with various cognitive disabilities.

“We have a lot of experience in web development for the public sector as well as specific expertise in accessibility. Making information available is a great challenge for many of Sweden’s public operations, and many are approaching us with these assignments right now. There is a lot more to do in this very important area,” says Anders Nilsson, Managing Director of HiQ Mälardalen.

HiQ wins assignment to develop and administrate the new website for the Swedish Data Protection Authority. “We are so glad to get this assignment that will contribute to a higher service level for the Data Protection Authority’s target groups. It is fully in line with our ongoing work to make people’s lives easier through digital solutions,” says Lars Stugemo, President and CEO of HiQ.

After a call-off order of Kammarkollegiet’s framework agreement for the provision of information, the Swedish Data Protection Authority has granted HiQ the assignment for maintenance and development of its website. HiQ’s experienced consultants and wide expertise from similar assignments were mentioned when the assignment was awarded, together with reference assignments that reflect good availability and an appealing structure and design.

The Swedish Data Protection Authority is one of many authorities who have turned to HiQ for help with development of their websites. HiQ has worked with several authorities, municipalities and public administrations, and has significant experience in building accessible, easily navigable websites for the public sector.

“We have worked with several public websites, so we have become experts more or less on websites for the public sector. And our experience in information-dense websites with high requirements on accessibility is an important asset in this assignment,” says Anders Nilsson, Managing Director of HiQ Mälardalen.

The Swedish Data Protection Authority is changing its name to the Swedish Authority for Integrity Protection on 1 January 2021.

HiQ has been chosen to partner with a world-leading industry group for maintenance and continued development the company’s global intranet. The intranet is used by more than 10,000 employees in multiple languages, and is one of the company’s primary communication channels. “It is an honour and a lot of fun to be chosen as a partner to a global player to develop their intranet. Our efficient, scalable model using local teams and efficient development in our nearshore offices in Russia and Poland make us an attractive partner,” says Lars Stugemo, President and CEO of HiQ.

The intranet solution is built in Azure as a single-page-react.js-application. HiQ will deliver a DevOps team that harnesses the design, architecture and leadership from HiQ’s offices in Skåne, and provides most of the development from HiQ’s nearshore office in Moscow.

HiQ and the Swedish Public Employment Service has signed a framework agreement for IT services in the area of customer experience in digital channels. “I’m so glad that we won this deal. And it’s extra special that our expertise in digitalization will help the important public role of the Swedish Public Employment Service,” says Lars Stugemo, President and CEO of HiQ.

The Swedish Public Employment Service is making improvements to its services, including a significant extension of its digital service offerings for clients. The goal of digitalisation is to simplify the client experience, improve operational efficiency and make it easier for external participants to stimulate the labor market.

The new framework agreement covers services and consulting support within web analysis in order to investigate client behaviour with the aim of improving the customer experience over digital channels. The agreement is valid for two years with the possibility of a two-year extension.
