MID GmbH: The Federal Employment Office (Bundesagentur für Arbeit) have selected MID and Innovator for the further development of one of the most extensive data warehouses in Germany. MID's many years of experience working in the public sector and their core expertise in model-based development of business concepts and integrated IT systems analysis make them the perfect candidate for the range of services stipulated by the Bundesagentur für Arbeit.

All business processes used in the BA, applications such as those for calculating unemployment benefits, user guidance for granting family allowance, general calendar management and central records for personal and working data have all been modeled using the modeling tool, Innovator.
