On the information platform "www.sgb2.info" launched today, the Federal Ministry for Labor and Social Affairs informs the public about basic security and the work of more than 420 job centers which are responsible for basic security. The main feature of this portal, which was implemented by ]init[ Digital Communication, is the powerful statistical service "Kennzahlen" (Key Indicators).

This analytical tool provides interactive spreadsheets, diagrams and maps and enables a detailed and transparent analysis of Jobcenter related key indicators, used by the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs for measurement of related goals. Now it is possible to receive these key indicators in high granularity, accessible with a few mouse clicks and allow for comparison with other stakeholders engaged in basic security. In addition these data is available on Federal, State and regional level.

"I am excited that we had the chance to implement this platform, which is very important for the job market", says Harald Felling, Chief Sales Officer of ]init[ Digital Communication. "This project proves that Open Government is real on the Federal level: Data has to be seamlessly accessible and intuitively useable – without complex tables. Therefore we developed the 'Interactive Chart and Map Builder' which is able to create target group-oriented visualizations - both for technical audience as well as for the interested citizens.”
