Case Study

Budapest Municipal Court – Access control and central recording system of working hours

Client: Budapest Municipal Court

This extremely complex system, which was based on homogeneous IT solutions, is able to manage and track the access of the thousands of employees of the Court working in 11 business centers, and their guests.
Besides its primary tasks it supports the work of the head of the organization with advanced functions of recording working hours and authorization.

Tasks:

The Court is working in several buildings of the capital, and the classic access system with analog cards did not prove to be up-to-date and secure enough. Besides, the colleagues of the organization left the office on a regular basis for work related reasons, but these trips and their work related nature were difficult to track.

Implementation:

Our team fulfilled the order in close cooperation with Sárkány Zrt.; they provided the hardware elements, and our colleagues implemented the complete design and configuration of the project. Our first task was to assess the exact requirements of our client, which was done by the experts of the two supplier companies together with the IT management of our client. In the first round the result of the process was a requirements specification, followed by a detailed system design. Development started based on the latter one. The project was supported by multiple database technology for the request of our client, so a MySQL and a PostgreSQL based system is also available accordingly.


The most important functions of the final system:

  • System functions
  • building registry,
  • management of institutions and sub-institutions,
  • management of affairs and divisions,
  • terminal registry,
  • management of access cards,
  • complex human resources module
  • Functions for employees
  • calendar of events,
  • current affairs and divisions
  • Management module
  • management summary,
  • absence authorization,
  • all-day absence authorization,
  • registry of motions,
  • periodic summary,
  • attendance sheet,
  • Main features of the system:
  • Linux server environment,
  • Viola™ technology,
  • PHP and MySQL/PostgreSQL based server-side program ,
  • adjustability,
  • homogeneous system

The installation of the system in cooperation with our client’s team of experts was smooth, and the employees of the Budapest Municipal Court use the final system with satisfaction until this very day.
