Key Highlights
- OptiSol migrated the client’s reporting platform from Oracle Reports 12c to Jasper Reports using its Jasper Conversion Tool, automating conversions while preserving business logic and layouts.
- The migration cut operational costs by 45 percent, improved report generation speed, and optimized the environment for cloud scalability and future integrations.
- Automated conversions accelerated report delivery, reduced manual errors, and allowed internal teams to focus on validation and analytics.
- Multi-language and special character support were implemented with custom encoding, ensuring accurate reporting across diverse datasets and regional formats standards.
Problem Statement
01
Support End – Oracle Reports 12c reached end of support, exposing the client to security risks, missing updates, and increasing operational uncertainty for critical reporting workflows.
02
High Costs – Licensing and maintenance costs from the Oracle stack strained budgets and reduced funds available for innovation and data initiatives.
03
Legacy Complexity – The legacy Oracle report system had redundant dependencies and fragile code, making maintenance slow, error prone, and costly to adapt to new requirements.
04
Limited Flexibility – Oracle's ecosystem restricted customization and multi-language support; reports failed to handle special characters, requiring extra encoding and manual fixes during migration.
Solution Overview
01
OptiSol deployed iBEAM JCT to analyze .rdf files and automate conversion of layouts, data sources, and queries into Jasper-compatible reports, streamlining bulk migrations.
02
Custom encoding modules were added to handle special characters and multi-language text, ensuring accurate rendering and preventing data corruption after migration.
03
JCT mapped Oracle program units to Java equivalents, cleaned redundant code, and preserved business logic to ensure functional parity with minimal manual rework.
04
Jasper templates were tailored to client branding and complex data models, enabling dynamic charts, parameterized reports, and user friendly report rendering.
05
Reports were integrated with ERP and cloud databases, followed by performance tuning to improve query processing and ensure scalable, reliable report delivery.
Business Impact
About The Project
This success story showcases how OptiSol supported a leading municipal services technology provider in modernizing its reporting system. The client had been relying on Oracle Reports 12c, which was nearing end-of-support in October 2023. Continuing with the legacy platform posed significant risks, including high licensing costs, maintenance challenges, and limited scalability.
OptiSol implemented its Jasper Conversion Tool (JCT) to automate large portions of the migration, ensure accurate multi-language reporting, and deliver a cost-effective solution. The transformation not only reduced reporting expenses but also improved performance and prepared the platform for future growth.
