Empowering Digital Transformation at COA: Technical Leadership by HULQ

Scope & Objective

The Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (COA) in the Netherlands faced the challenge of digitizing and streamlining their employee workflows while ensuring stringent GDPR compliance and robust information security measures. With a growing need for efficient and secure processes, COA embarked on a project to develop a native mobile application that would revolutionize the way their employees managed day-to-day tasks. The primary objective was to create a secure, user-friendly application that met the high standards required for handling sensitive information.

Our Role & Solutions

HULQ was engaged to provide Technical Leadership throughout the project, ensuring the successful implementation of the mobile application. While COA had its development team in place, they required expert guidance to navigate the complexities of the project.

We provided the following key contributions:

  • Technical Leadership: HULQ took on the role of technical leadership, guiding the project through critical stages, including architecture design, security implementation, and integration strategies.
  • On-Prem Architecture: We guided the integration of the mobile application with COA’s on-premise architecture, ensuring seamless connectivity with existing systems.
