Overview

Oracle Reports hit end-of-life. We replaced it in days, not months.

Our client is a large enterprise organization operating in the US, Southeast Asia, and India — with extensive dependencies on Oracle Reports for critical business reporting. Oracle Reports reached end-of-life, exposing the organization to growing security, compliance, and operational risk while maintenance became increasingly complicated and expensive.

The client needed a new reporting platform that could be deployed without business disruption and with demonstrably improved efficiency. 10decoders partnered with the organization to deliver a phased, automation-driven migration — converting legacy Oracle Reports into a modern, cloud-ready JasperReports platform.

The result: 90% faster migration timelines (months to days), 30–40% reduction in licensing and operational costs, and 100% data accuracy and layout fidelity — with zero data loss and zero reporting disruption throughout.

Under the Hood

The stack behind the migration

Legacy Platform

Oracle Reports (End-of-Life)

The existing reporting platform — unsupported, tightly coupled to Oracle-specific constructs, and increasingly costly to maintain. Systematically replaced during migration.

Modern Platform

JasperReports

Modern, open-source reporting platform with API-based access, reusable templates, multiple output formats, and full cloud deployment readiness.

Automation

Extraction & Conversion Pipeline

Custom-built automated pipeline to extract and convert Oracle Reports definitions into JasperReports — reducing migration from months to days.

Data Mapping

Smart Logic & Layout Mapping

Intelligent mapping of business logic, data models, and report layouts to JasperReports structures — preserving 100% accuracy and layout fidelity.

Validation

Expert Refinement Framework

Migration specialists performed targeted refinements where automation reached its limits, with a structured validation process to ensure full report correctness.

Deployment

Cloud-Ready Infrastructure

Cloud deployment readiness built in from day one — enabling flexible hosting, scalable access, and future-proof reporting operations.

Challenge & Approach

The Problem, and How We Solved It

An end-of-life platform too risky to keep, too complex to replace manually.

The Challenge

  • Oracle Reports at end-of-life — escalating security, compliance, and operational risk with no vendor support
  • Tightly coupled Oracle-specific logic made every report change time-consuming, error-prone, and expensive
  • Rising Oracle licensing and maintenance costs, limited output formats, and poor integration capabilities

Our Approach

  • Built an automated extraction and conversion pipeline — accelerating migration timelines by 90%
  • Mapped critical business logic, data models, and layouts to JasperReports — 100% accuracy, zero data loss
  • Phased, expert-validated rollout onto a cloud-ready JasperReports platform — zero reporting disruption
The Approach

The Solution

10decoders partnered with the organization to deliver a phased, automation-driven reporting modernization. A custom pipeline extracted and converted Oracle Reports definitions automatically — reducing manual effort, eliminating errors, and compressing timelines from months to days. Smart logic mapping preserved every business rule and layout, while expert specialists handled edge cases that automation couldn't cover.

The result was a validated, fully functional JasperReports platform — cloud-ready, API-accessible, and built for long-term agility and cost efficiency.
