Digitala hjälpmedel för aktivitetsbaserat arbetssätt

Sammanfattning: The activity based workplace model is becoming more and more com- mon and the Swedish Insurance Agency is an authority that has em- braced this model. The new way of working means that more employ- ees work from home or another place than the office. The new working model needs IT solutions that can handle communication and secure document management. This has caused two problems at the Swedish Insurance Agency. The first problem is concerning confusion about how employees should connect correctly to the authority’s conference room equipment. The solution proposal should be able to evaluate if the correct equipment has been connected and present connection status information. The second is for connection to the authority’s Private Network (VPN). The problem is that users often lose or not get proper connection to the network devices when they connect through VPN. A technical solution for each problem were developed. The application for connection against conference room equipment evaluates that the user has a USB dock (with more components connected to it) connected, that the user has network connection and that the USB dock driver has installed correctly. Usability test showed that the application works as intended, except some confusion about the navigation, which was corrected. The application for VPN connection visually shows the user through an icon in the taskbar if the user is properly connected to VPN or not. The application also got the option of calling a connection script if the user loses connection. Evaluation based on Requirements Specifi- cation showed that both applications could meet their requirements and the applications were packaged and distributed to employees at the Swedish Insurance Agency.
