Modernized an intractable Ruby on Rails system to Java Spring Boot in three months, exceeding expectations and saving the client $1M and 15 months.

Problem

- Ruby on Rails with heavy use of complex Drools engine

- Code intractable due to developer using one-off techniques for solving problems, developer retired and unreachable

- Client unable to use manual techniques to extract the business logic from the code

- Non-standard, denormalized implementation of a relational database where much of the semantic information was stored

- Callouts to poorly documented third-party libraries

- Manual conversion was not possible due to code intractability and budgetary and time constraints

Requirement

- Convert code to Java Spring Boot with Angular front end

Process

- Leveraging our AI, we took two months to generate Java code

Outcome

- Holonic successfully modernized code from Ruby on Rails to Java, including full technical documentation, exceeding client expectations

- Holonic completed 18 month project in three months

- Holonic’s solution cost <$500,000 for a project estimated at $1.5mn

- Created eight additional modernization opportunities within this organization
