For almost 10 years, JIRA has been our development issue tracker for the core components of Camunda Platform 7.

Automation in banking: 6 considerations for digital transformation
Automation and banking have been two peas in a technological pod since the 1934 introduction of the IBM ® 801 Bank Proof machine, a check sorting machine.
