To enable seamless data flow, we need solutions that already offer multiple interfaces to other providers and comply with legal requirements such as data protection - acting as bridges to accelerate the development of integrated, networked systems.

Nevertheless, creating these schedules can become a herculean task, as there are too many offers for the few rooms in the school or the strict requirements of the regulatory authorities for staffing a residential group are not fully covered by the rota programme. As a result, employees have to spend a lot of time improving the automatically generated plans.

Based on the report and personal interviews, services are adjusted accordingly. This process involves many staff members, from those providing content to social workers writing and sending reports, and secretaries managing deadlines and filing documents.
