#1 Complex automation of IT & Business processes
Since 2017 we have been developing Atlassian enviroment where we have implemented numerous custom plugins.
Grid Plugin for Jira
Encryptor for Jira
Config Files for Jira
Export Issue
Suppliers manager
Used plugins:
– a plugin that allows Jira to adapt solutions used in BPMS class systems. It enables, among other things, multi-criteria control of access rights to declarations, automatic filling of related data in several fields, advanced control of responsible persons and groups, multi-criteria control of the course of processes (many preliminary criteria)
Release Manager – custom solution providing a webwork module for adding systems to”release” type issue . Manages the history of environmental changes (transition from test to production environments with dates) and the dispatch of information about the production implementation along with the scope of implemented changes. Provides data for the map of releases (Roadmap View for Confluence), manages the implementation process
Roadmap View for Confluence – custom plugin displaying a list of implemented projects broken down by weeks and the environments on which they are located
Dynamic Forms – based on the definition and choosen options, it displays generated fields which values are then parsed to custom fields
Invoices for Jira – a plugin that supports invoices processed by OCR, creating appropriate issues and workflows based on them
Complaints for Jira – a dedicated plugin for handling complaint processes
Grid Plugin for Jira – a plugin that provides a very functional grid with options for sorting, filtering, highlighting and selecting data
Encryptor for Jira – allowing to save the password more securely in the application code (the password is not directly written – it is encrypted)
Config Files for Jira – a plugin for uploading configuration files to the application server
Export Issue – addon for sending the exported issue via email containing the XML file and attachments from a given issue (it is possible to select specific ones)
Suppliers manager – supporting the management of suppliers / cooperating companies. It contains data structures and appropriate worklows
– a plugin for managing tests (including automated tests) in Jira – Rivet Group’s original comercial product

#2 The process of circulation of invoices and OCR documents
Automation of the processes of processing and circulation of financial and accounting documents in a complex organization consisting of several related companies. A complicated, multi-stage and multi-dimensional acceptance process with full integration with the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) system processing 1500+ documents per month.
Used technologies:
Soap Web Services
- Rivet consultants have analized the vendor invoice flow process
- Based on the IT tool used by the client,
they designed and programmed an invoice handling module, that has been linked with OCR - They proposed the most optimal process of invoice circulation (workflow), during which the invoice is assigned / described, approved, booked and paid
- This process is multi-stage, at each stage there are complex authorization / responsibility mechanisms controlled by decision tables (a separate proprietary plugin „Decision Tables” also designed and implemented by Rivet Group)
- This allows for flexible indication of people / groups / teams responsible at particular stages, depending on various invoice data, e.g. type / classification of costs, supplier, invoice amount
- Appropriate coupling of these mechanisms with (security level) ensures access to a given invoice only for the right users
- The invoice accounting process is addressed to daughter companies and is adapted to its specific requirements
- The accounting process itself has been largely automated thanks to the integration with the financial and accounting system
- The configuration of decision tables is kept in Excel files that are convenient for business users

#3 Business and IT transformation
The wide and optimal use of the possibilities of Jira and Confluence in the organization, assuming the handling of the entire production process and as many business and IT processes as many business and IT processes as possible in Atlassian products, including: PM / PMO, Release, Change Requests, Requirements Management, QA Management, Marketing, SLA.
Used technologies:
- consulting and implementation in the field of processes, including PM/PMO, Release, Change Requests, Requirements Management, QA Management, Marketing, SLA
- development and full tool support for Atlassian products – Jira, Confluence
- comprehensive support for QA processes (test management, manual tests, automatic tests,
performance tests) - comprehensive application monitoring and environmental management (dev, pre-prod, prod, etc.)..
It was proposed to work in the “Jira Concierge” service model, under which:
- an audit of the current use of JIRA (processes, plugins, configuration) was carried out
- an inventory of the client’s needs was carried out
- activities were proposed and planned – consulting and expert support, backlog, mentoring
- support was provided for the successive development of Jira in the organization – upgrade, configuration, plugin evaluations, custom development, etc.
- test management in Jira was proposed and implemented
- processes were automated in the areas of: tests, PMO, monitoring, eCommerce, marketing, accounting, E-Law Office, SLA, Release Management
- Jira integration with other systems was taken care off
- as part of transferring processes to Jira and in view of the specific needs of the client, which are not covered by the Atlassian marketplace solutions, own plugins for Jira were designed and developed (custom- made solutions)

#5 Test management tool
- Optimization of testing process
- Linking QA area with Jira
- Test automation
- Implementation of strict control of test requirements coverage
- Diagnosis of the situation (opening audit) was carried out

Each component of the solution is thought out and adjusted to system, time and budget constraints. Scrupulous thinking translates into extremely accurate estimates of the time-consuming work and minimization of iteration on the IT-Business line.. The developed solutions are universal and re-usable at the next stages of software development. The designed components are not only a strong foundation of the entire system architecture, but also have an optimal level of maintenance costs.
