9 tian Stückl in person. Also most of the other 700 parti- cipants, who are active backstage, are from Oberam- mergau. “Just a few firefighters and some musicians forming the band needed to be recruited externally” explains Monika Stückl. The whole municipality with its 5,000 inhabitants is upside down before and during the plays. And then there is the hair and beard writ: From Ash Wednesday 2019, there has been a request for ever- yone to let their hair grow and for the men to also grow beards in order to create the most authentic portrayal. ISGUS – No solution like any other From the first workshop it became apparent that the ISGUS solution ZEUS® would not be used simply as a classical Time and Attendance solution. The main focus is on recording individual activities such as rehearsals and performances and their frequency. Based on the employment contracts and roles defined, ZEUS® knows which hourly rate needs to be calculated. For example, there are special rehearsal rates, being paid standard or double time depending on their length. Soloist per- formances are especially remunerated and therefore booked differently. Technical support from ISGUS-bavaria GmbH Another advantage of electronic time recording is the analysis, which shows “game leader” Christian Stückl, which actors have taken part in performances, when and how often. This wasn’t previously visible from the old paper documentation. The ISGUS software for the passion plays is being hosted in the ISGUS data centre, reducing IT investments to a minimum. For data collection ISGUS-bavaria made avai- lable preconfigured Terminals, communicating via web- services with the data centre at the ISGUS headquarter. On site, the terminals just need to plug into the network and will find their Host independently via DHCP. Due to the constantly changing buildings during the rehearsals, terminals became very mobile. “The installation and use of the 32 ISGUS Terminals based on proximity cards went well from the first day, plus acceptance and utilisa- tion of this new procedure by all cast and teammembers were outstanding”, describes Mrs. Stückl. Cards were in use for identification at the terminals and additionally for identification purposes, by security personnel, plus given labels with name, photo and ID code. The organisational team appreciated the seamless setup and introduction of the new system, and its ease of use well received by all parties: “It is now super easy to just hold the card on it”, says one of the actors. Due to Corona, all activities relevant to these plays are now suspended, and Oberammergau is looking forward to the Passion Plays in 2022.
