Sir, this is a Wendys.

Permitium LLC sells their online services and software, not consulting services for the client's software. In other words, they are not your contractor fixing your homegrown solution. They offer their proprietary software for rent. It's a complete different scenario.

It's a clear design flaw, not really expensive to fix, creates much better UX and can be easily included into the next sprint. However, the companies, once secure the government contracts, forget about the competition and product improvements. That's why a good chunk of the government information systems is still based on the last century technologies.

None of the following is an endorsement of the current system.

Yeah, it's sub-optimal and it's a bit kludgy, but it works.

To fix it:
-Costs $$$$$
-Costs time
-Overrides planned program changes in the pipeline
-Creates opportunities to screw up
-Will create more issues which will make others unhappy.
-Doesn't improve the system in a substantive manner.

Best.

If the first available appointment is in April 2023, there is no need to show all unavailable Dec 2022 to Mar 2023 days. Jump straight to the first available day in April and let the user make their choice. If an earlier day becomes available, then show it on the calendar. ATM, having to scroll though several months of unavailable days till reaching the first open spot is a terrible UX concept. At the very least, make a new button, call it 'Find earliest appt'.

A third party vendor is running the administrative stuff. They don't have access to the agency's workload/staffing/planning. So the long date is input and the agency adjusts for their scale.

It's an awful software design, actually. A user should be directed straight to the first available appointment, instead of getting no avail screen and having to continuously click until finds the first spot open.

The default is standard programming procedure. What happens next is determined by management. You make a good point.
