Key Highlights

  • OptiSol partnered with a leading European multinational investment bank to support their transition from Oracle Reports to Jasper Reports by providing our proprietary iBEAM Jasper Conversion Tool (JCT) license.
  • The client had an internal report development team capable of handling manual report customization, but they lacked the capacity and automation capabilities required for large-scale report migration.
  • Using iBEAM JCT, the client was able to convert a high volume of complex Oracle Reports into Jasper-compatible formats efficiently, preserving critical business logic and report integrity.
  • The tool-based approach enabled partial automation, which significantly reduced manual efforts, minimized human error, and accelerated the overall migration timeline while ensuring accuracy and consistency across reports.

Problem Statement

01

Resource Constraints: Although the client had a dedicated technical team, they were not equipped to handle the entire end-to-end Oracle to Jasper migration process due to bandwidth limitations and lack of automation tools.

02

Complex Logic Handling: Most of their existing Oracle reports were embedded with intricate program units and business-critical logic, making manual conversion both time-consuming and prone to errors.

03

Excessive Manual Work: In the absence of an automation solution, the internal team struggled with repetitive tasks such as rebuilding layouts, re-mapping datasets, and verifying logic manually.

04

Operational Delays: Manual processing introduced delays and created bottlenecks in the reporting workflow, increasing the risk of report inconsistencies and slowing down decision-making.

Solution Overview

01

OptiSol provided a licensed version of the iBEAM Jasper Conversion Tool (JCT), enabling the client to manage and execute their Oracle to Jasper report conversion process with greater efficiency and control.

02

We started with a pre-migration assessment phase, where we analyzed the total number of reports, their classification based on complexity (simple, medium, complex), and the expected delivery timelines.

03

JCT helped the client automate 70% of the structural conversion of Oracle Reports - including layouts, data sources, and parameters - into Jasper-compatible formats, significantly reducing the workload on their report development team.

04

While JCT handled the core conversion, the client’s internal report developers were able to focus on the remaining 30% of the work which includes tailoring the output by applying final edits, validations to meet internal standards and compliance requirements.

05

The hybrid approach of automated conversion through iBEAM JCT and manual fine-tuning by the client’s team ensured faster delivery without compromising on report quality or accuracy.

Business Impact

01

Reduced Manual Efforts: By automating the foundational aspects of report conversion, iBEAM JCT enabled the client’s team to save substantial time and effort, allowing them to focus on business-critical enhancements instead of repetitive conversion tasks.

About The Project

This success story captures how OptiSol supported one of Europe’s prominent investment banks in transforming their reporting systems from legacy Oracle Reports to the modern, open-source Jasper Reports platform. The client’s reports were heavily reliant on custom program units and complex business logic, which made full manual migration an unsustainable option. With limited bandwidth and no automation capability, the client required a scalable and cost-effective solution that could handle report migration without disrupting internal operations.
By providing the iBEAM Jasper Conversion Tool (JCT), OptiSol empowered the client to semi-automate their migration while leveraging their in-house team for final refinements. This collaborative approach accelerated the project timeline, preserved data accuracy, and delivered a future-ready reporting architecture without the need for a full-service outsourcing model.

FAQs:

What is the iBEAM Jasper Conversion Tool (JCT) used for?

iBEAM JCT is a proprietary tool designed to automate the migration of Oracle Reports to Jasper Reports by converting report structures, layouts, and logic with high accuracy and minimal manual effort.

How does iBEAM JCT handle complex program logic?

iBEAM JCT intelligently mapped Oracle program units and logic structures into Jasper-compatible components, preserving the original behavior of reports and minimizing post-conversion edits.

Can iBEAM JCT handle all types of reports?

Yes, iBEAM JCT is capable of handling simple, medium, and highly complex reports by adapting to different structures and embedded logic levels.

Is the tool customizable for specific needs?

Absolutely. IBEAM JCT can be configured based on project needs, such as handling custom templates, report layouts, or industry-specific data formatting.

Can iBEAM JCT handle multiple report migration at once?

Yes, iBEAM JCT is equipped with bulk report migration capabilities to handle migration of reports in batch for the basic Jasper report conversion, which can be fine-tuned further by manual edits by report developers.
