UWV pulls plug on ICT project that cost 55 million euros

Benefit agency UWV stops developing and implementing a new digital system after five years. The Mediation Service (BMS) had to better connect employers and jobseekers, but according to the UWV, the system does not meet expectations. The project cost around 55 million euros, according to the UWV. The benefit agency tested BMS on a small scale and took additional measures.
