How does one even begin Designing a software system for such a complex process! The impact of a bug in such system would be huge!!

- jeffrallen 3y agoI once spent an hour removing a few cents' error in a salary-computation and then 2 weeks implementing the correct one-time payment to 200 staff in order to make them whole from a couple years of incorrect salaries. The whole thing cost about $2000, so each individual adjustment was small, but we had to do it with transparency and humility to maintain worker happiness.
- j45 3y agoIt would need to be flexible, auditable, historical (each year ran it's version). So, basically, no software devs really at the business analysis layer. The process mapping has to be the code. Decision making in the process mapping has to be editable. It's quite doable and present with some of the current software packages that operate in the finance / insurance / banking / government / enterprise space. Imho, how software has historically been created for business is now broken. Software used to aim for a fixed, or slowly changing operating model, and the pandemic kind of introduced a bunch of ongoing change. Software will become more malleable as a result.
