Bespoke Transformation of Non-Standard Architecture
Holonic’s AI modernized a complex database system in two months, saving the client over $3.75M and years of work.

Problem

- A complex database modernization project involved a majority of business logic embedded in a relational database but, even worse, the data was not stored utilizing the relational aspect of the database. Instead, the data was serialized and stored as non relational data.

- The entire logic construction, serialization methodology, and database usage were designed as a non-standard, custom one-off by an ex-employee who was no longer available.

Process

- Business logic, process, and functionality are all considered intent to our AI-driven process.

- When these features are communicated to Holonic, either through existing code, requirements documentation, or examples, our AI-driven process converts this information into intent and is confirmed with the stakeholders.

- Holonic’s AI updated the code to take into account the proper usage of the database.

- As part of this transformation, the client also had Holonic modernize the language, stack, and UI.

- As business logic is identified, problems such as constraint violations, conflicting, duplicated, and outdated rules were cataloged and reported to the client for reconciliation.

Outcome

- Reconciled through iteration, the AI-driven process transformed and optimized ensuring a minimum-required-set of rules and constraints in place optimizing code efficiency and comprehension.

- Holonic’s solution cost <$250,000 for a project that required a complete rewrite for a minimum cost of >$4 million.

- Holonic time to completion was 2 months rather than 5 years.
