We would like to share how KCB, a leading credit rating agency in Korea, improved development quality and work efficiency using Atlassian solutions.
Challenge
KCB had difficulties with their previous ALM system, as it didn’t leave audit logs and required a significant amount of resources for user history and permission management.
KCB is a company that aims to strengthen the financial industry in Korea by gathering consent to share usage information and improve the vulnerability and solutions of personal credit risk management and credit information infrastructure.
Since KCB is a financial agengy that assesses personal credit ratings, KCB needs to respond to external certification and audits. However, previously built ALM system didn’t leave audit logs and required a significant amount of resources for user history and permission management. Additionally, one person centrally managed user and permission management. To address these issues, KCB automated their work using APIs provided by Atlassian.
Solution
