About The Project

This success story highlights how OptiSol partnered with a mid-sized financial services firm to modernize their legacy reporting infrastructure by migrating over 500 Oracle Reports to Jasper Reports. The client faced mounting operational challenges due to performance lags, maintenance overhead, and compliance risks tied to their outdated Oracle framework. A fast-approaching regulatory deadline further amplified the urgency for a scalable and efficient migration approach. OptiSol delivered its iBEAM Jasper Conversion Tool (JCT) to automate large portions of the migration process, including layout conversion, parameter mapping, and data source integration. With 70% of reports converted through automation, the client’s internal team focused on validation and business-specific logic adjustments. This collaborative, tool-driven engagement enabled a smooth, low-risk transition, enhancing reporting agility, reducing costs, and aligning the client’s reporting stack with modern compliance requirements.

JasperReports supports modern technologies, integrates easily with various data sources, has a rich visual layout editor, and is more aligned with agile reporting and compliance needs.

How does iBEAM JCT simplify the migration process?

iBEAM Jasper Conversion Tool automates layout transformation, parameter mapping, and data source configuration, reducing manual effort and accelerating the migration timeline significantly.

What are the cost implications of migrating to JasperReports?

Migrating to Jasper can significantly reduce costs by eliminating licensing fees for Oracle Reports, lowering maintenance overhead, and avoiding expensive third-party manual conversions.
