The Ministry of Finance is the key government institution responsible for managing Poland’s financial policy and supporting economic development. As manager of the National e-Invoicing System (KSeF), it is responsible for implementing an infrastructure that will revolutionise the country’s invoicing system.
What was the client’s business need?
The Ministry of Finance needed an independent assessment of the readiness of the National e-Invoicing System, a key infrastructure for modernising the Polish economy. With the implementation deadline looming, the audit aimed to:
- Examine the current state of the system’s architecture and infrastructure.
- Identify gaps that could affect performance, scalability and security.
- Develop specific remedial recommendations.
What was the challenge?
- Short deadlines: The audit had to be completed within 45 working days and the documentation covered several years of work on the system.
- Complexity of documentation: Analysis of the extensive project documentation and source code was only possible on site at the Ministry of Finance.
- High rates: The ability to achieve the strategic goal of introducing KSeF within the planned timeframe depended on the results of the audit.
What was the solution?
1. Documentation audit: Verification of compliance of project documentation with best practice.
2. Code and performance analysis: Assessment of source code quality, scalability and system architecture.
3. Performance testing: Simulation of peak loads to test the system’s ability to perform under production conditions.
4. Data analysis: Verification of Oracle databases for security and data integrity.
Our project process and workflow:
- A team of experts: 19 specialists from SOFTIQ and 6 consultants from SoftTutor worked intensively for 6 weeks.
- Hybrid work: part of the team worked remotely and part was stationed in Warsaw to have access to documentation and code only available at the Ministry’s headquarters.
- Final report: We prepared a detailed report that included a full diagnosis of the system and remediation recommendations.
