About The Project
This Success story captures how Optisol partnered with a global provider in the election technology space to migrate their RMS (Result Management System) database from Oracle to PostgreSQL. The organization faced high licensing costs, restrictive user policies, and the need for greater flexibility
Using iBEAM O2PIM, Optisol delivered an accelerated low-risk migration by automating schema and logic conversation while enabling real-time dual-database execution. The solution ensured continuity of services, compatibility with Java-based applications and laid a solid foundation for broader modernization initiatives across platforms
FAQs:
What is iBEAM O2PIM used for?
iBEAM O2PIM is OptiSol’s AI-powered tool for automating Oracle-to-PostgreSQL database migration, including schema, logic, and package conversion.
Why was Oracle replaced?
Their clients faced increasing Oracle license costs, limited vendor login capabilities, and a need for a more flexible, open-source database environment.
Was there a risk of data loss during migration?
No. Since the migration excluded production data and only focused on schema and logic, there was no risk to live data.
How was business logic handled in the migration?
Complex Oracle packages were either converted into PostgreSQL procedures or refactored into Spring Boot microservices, preserving core functionalities.
