Background
KB Kookmin Bank has experienced challenges due to the decentralized management of work changes and configuration, leading to duplications and confusion in operations. The existing configuration management system did not adequately support the efficiency of business processes, resulting in ineffective tracking, management, and version control of changes. This caused delays and errors in workflow. To respond swiftly to the changing capital markets, it became urgent to enhance the efficiency of collaboration and configuration management. Ultimately, KB Kookmin Bank aims to strengthen its competitiveness and provide better services to customers through digitalization and innovation.
