Key Highlights
- A European multinational finance firm partnered with OptiSol to modernize its legacy reporting framework by migrating 500 Oracle Reports to Jasper Reports.
- The client’s internal development team was equipped to handle business-specific validations but lacked automation tools to execute end-to-end report conversion.
- OptiSol provided its proprietary iBEAM Jasper Conversion Tool (JCT), enabling the client to automate the bulk of the structural and logic conversion process.
- This hybrid model, where automation managed the core migration and internal teams handled customizations, ensured a smooth transformation without disrupting daily business operations.
Problem Statement
01
Automation Gap: Although technically capable, the client’s team lacked an automation mechanism to streamline large-scale report migration, relying heavily on manual processes.
02
High Complexity: Most reports contained intricate business logic, embedded procedures and customized layouts, making them difficult to convert without introducing functional issues.
03
Manual Bottlenecks: Without tooling support, their developers were spending considerable time rebuilding report structures, verifying data sources and adjusting formatting—all manually.
04
Tight Deadline: The client had only 8 weeks to complete the migration due to an internal system upgrade, which left no margin for delays or errors.
Solution Overview
01
OptiSol licensed the iBEAM Jasper Conversion Tool (JCT) to the client, offering them a scalable and semi-automated solution to convert Oracle Reports into Jasper-compatible versions.
02
An initial discovery phase was conducted, where reports were analyzed and categorized into simple, medium, and complex levels to prioritize migration efforts.
03
OptiSol’s iBEAM JCT was used to perform automated conversions of report elements such as layouts, data sources, parameters and embedded logic units, achieving up to 70% automation for most reports.
04
While the automated tool handled the core migration, the client’s internal team focused on refining the output, performing validations, compliance checks, and format tuning.
05
This joint effort allowed the client to retain ownership of the final outputs while benefiting from the speed and accuracy of automation during the initial stages.
Business Impact
About The Project
This engagement showcases how OptiSol’s iBEAM Jasper Conversion Tool (JCT) helped a leading European financial institution modernize its reporting infrastructure without straining internal resources. The client was transitioning from Oracle Reports to Jasper Reports as part of a broader digital upgrade. While they had a capable team to handle post-conversion refinement, they needed an automated solution to handle the bulk of the conversion workload. OptiSol provided the JCT license along with planning support and initial guidance to help structure the migration. The result was a high-volume, high-speed transformation executed with precision, agility and no operational compromise.
FAQs:

Absolutely. It’s ideal for finance firms needing accurate, secure and uninterrupted reporting while modernizing their tech stack with minimal operational risk.
What kind of reports can iBEAM JCT migrate?
iBEAM JCT can migrate most Oracle Reports, including complex, parameterized and multi-dataset reports, transforming them into equivalent Jasper Reports formats with high fidelity.
Can iBEAM JCT help reduce long-term maintenance costs?
Yes. Migrated reports are easier to maintain, integrate and enhance, significantly lowering support and infrastructure costs compared to legacy Oracle reporting environments.
What are the key benefits of using iBEAM JCT for migration?
Key benefits include faster turnaround, automated logic conversion, minimal manual rework, reduced risk of errors and the ability to scale migration efforts efficiently.
