The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) says the\u00a0issues to do with the $72 million software procured to automate its operations are far from over.<\/p>\n
SSNIT Director-General, Dr John Kojo Ofori Tenkorang said there are currently over 2,000 issues with the software that have been shared with the vendors.<\/p>\n
He told Evans Mensah on Joy FM\u2019s Top Story Monday, the two service providers, Perfect Business System and Silver Lake Consortium, have promised to rectify the issues.<\/p>\n

Dr Tenkorang likened the current state of the software to a vehicle that travels 30 miles an hour instead of the expected 160 miles an hour.<\/p>\n
He was reacting to findings from Joy News\u2019 investigations which revealed the SSNIT software is functioning contrary to initial claims.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The investigations revealed that out of the total 14 modules of the Operating Business System (OBS), only one was found to be challenged.<\/p>\n
The findings by Joy News\u2019 Evans Mensah, Kwetey Nartey and host of Joy FM\u2019s Super Morning Show, Kojo Yankson contradicted the claim by SSNIT boss that the software was malfunctioning.<\/p>\n
Dr Tenkorang had earlier said the entire software was problematic despite the huge money spent to purchase it.<\/p>\n
Although he believes the software has brought some relief to the Trust, he said there are some outstanding issues that need to be addressed.<\/p>\n
He cited about nine modules which he said have issues that have been shared with the vendors for them to be worked on.<\/p>\n
Dr Tenkorang singled out the Benefit module, which he said has 52 issues and the Compliance module, which has 67 outstanding issues.<\/p>\n
He also said the Contribution module has 25 issues; Membership module has 4 issues and Business Intelligence module has 58 issues.<\/p>\n
The SSNIT boss read a letter from the software vendors dated July 26 which acknowledged the challenges with the system.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs discussed we will very much like to get a document from SSNIT cataloguing the challenges with the system [for it to be resolved] at no cost to SSNIT,\u201d he quoted the document.<\/p>\n
Dr Tenkorang observed the software provided the Trust is a \u201cfar cry from what we expected.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
