Every year, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) makes 21 million decisions that affect people's lives and society as a whole. We disburse approximately 260 billion kronor each year. It is the taxpayers' money that we manage, which is a significant responsibility.

Within Application Operations, we provide incident and problem management, operational planning, installations, further development of services, monitoring of daily data processing, and operational improvement measures.
