Autonomous Region Association is a local financial institution managed by the government. Since its establishment in 2006, the scale of deposits and loans of regional rural credit cooperatives has entered the fast track of development. With the establishment of the science and technology center of the subordinate department, the IT system of rural credit cooperatives in the region will be upgraded completely to support the overall development of the digital transformation of local rural credit cooperatives.
Opportunities and challenges coexist, the digital transformation of small and medium-sized banks is imperative
The rapid development of cutting-edge technology has provided inexhaustible impetus for financial innovation and digital transformation. On the other hand, the black swan of the epidemic has accelerated the pace of digital transformation in the whole industry. The closeness between the financial industry and digital nature makes it a pioneer in digital transformation and upgrading. The focus of large commercial banks and new Internet banks has sunk, which has become a realistic problem that forces small and medium-sized banks to digital transformation. The survival and development space of small and medium-sized banks is facing unprecedented challenges and digital transformation is imminent.
As the main force of rural finance, the Association of Autonomous Regions, like most small and medium-sized banks, has been deeply engaged in the local market for many years, with many branches and a wide range of customers, and has excellent geographical advantages. Under the impact of digitalization tide, introducing new technology, constructing new business model and creating new financial ecological system have become the inevitable choice for autonomous region association to seize the tuyair and expand development space.
At present, the product research and development of autonomous Region association is separated from operation and maintenance, and the research and development management mode is relatively traditional, which is difficult to meet the existing demand, mainly reflected in:
1. The software delivery process is long, including requirements, development, testing, deployment, operation and maintenance, etc. There are barriers between each link, which cannot be coordinated as a whole, and the delivery quality is low;
2. Different tools and methods are used among different teams to carry out work, resulting in low integration between tools and lack of a unified collaboration platform;
3. With the continuous development of business and the increasing business demand year by year, the requirements on the development quality and efficiency of application system are also increased, and the original code management tools are difficult to support the effective development of research and development work;
4. Due to manual release, the product version update cycle is too long and cannot respond quickly to meet users’ new requirements.
5. With the increase of independent research and development and personnel investment, management needs become increasingly significant. At present, there is no unified view to view the overall chain efficiency, so it is impossible to evaluate the personnel efficiency.
The new CODING engine adds impetus to the digital transformation of autonomous Region Association
One-stop development, enhance team collaboration
The primary demand of autonomous region association is to break down the barrier of collaboration, enhance team collaboration and improve the efficiency of software development. **CODING has developed a collaborative management workflow for the software delivery process of autonomous regions associated with the actual situation of the team. ** At the same time, CODING can closely correlate product requirements to implemented codes. Functions such as product, development, testing, operation and maintenance can complete the whole process on the same platform and achieve efficient cooperation between different roles.
Code management, improve development quality and efficiency
In order to adapt to the business development of the association of Autonomous Regions and improve development efficiency, CODING has deployed a local Git repository for the association of autonomous Regions. The development process is fully optimized through branch management, merge requests, release, and more. At the same time, through the integration of code quality management tools, the team code quality can be systematically evaluated and improved, and the bad taste in the code can be converged.
Continuous integration is introduced to facilitate automated upgrades
The increasing demand of users, in reverse, stimulates the updating of products. In order to meet the needs of users, on the premise of quality assurance, shorten the update cycle of product version, speed up the progress of product development, become another demand of autonomous region association. ** This time CODING introduced the industry-leading concept of agile development and continuous delivery to autonomous regions, combining the practical characteristics of software development with the bank’s own technology infrastructure ecology in two steps. ** On the one hand, the implementation of parallel delivery of New Internet business, step by step optimization, implementation of continuous integration; On the other hand, for the traditional core business, the dual-mode research and development of integrated delivery is maintained to realize on-demand production and reduce costs while ensuring no impact on the existing business. The continuous software delivery process constructed by CODING will eventually open up the whole process of development, testing and deployment of autonomous Region joint Venture, realize project management visualization, construction integration automation, further online testing process management and continuous deployment automation, so as to quickly respond to business needs and deliver business value quickly.
Introduction of data kanban, project management at a glance
In terms of the key indicators in the development process such as project progress, personnel efficiency and key issues, the CODING management system makes a comprehensive data tracking, and creates a comprehensive project management view for the Autonomous Region Association, so that the data can be three-dimensional and visualized to the maximum extent. Managers can clearly understand the workload and work efficiency of team members, and team members can also understand each other’s work dynamics and key issues, so as to truly realize the internal sharing and communication of data, optimize the collaboration between teams, and improve the overall work efficiency of the team.
Agile and DevOps parallel, open up new ideas for the development of autonomous region association
Based on its deep understanding of the financial industry, CODING developed a privatization deployment solution for the Autonomous Region Association, comprehensively optimized the development process of the autonomous Region Association, improved the development efficiency, and accelerated the digital transformation of the autonomous region Association. The cooperation between CODING and The Association of Autonomous Regions has created a new paradigm of digital transformation for small and medium-sized banks, and also created a broad space for the development of small and medium-sized banks.
