Sharing knowledge and experience in order to do an even better job, and discovering new ideas: this is what the internal PostFinance DevDays are about, but that’s not all. “With the DevDays, we also want to get people talking, not just the different developer teams, and to give the teams a face” says Luana Cusseddu, PaaS System Engineer, who co-organizes the event. Additionally, the DevDays could in future also be used as a training platform for sharing the expertise Postfinance has accumulated in areas such as software development, system engineering and operations with the outside world. “But it’s such a shame that our industry colleagues outside of PostFinance have no idea about the exciting projects we’re working on in our IT department, the new technologies we’re using or how we work together,” she explains. By making appearances at tech conferences and meet-ups, we hope to change this, and in doing so seize the opportunity to try and persuade new IT specialists to join us.
