Case Study: Blue Pearl achieves faster Java modernization and stronger performance with IBM Bob

Blue Pearl completes Java uplift in 3 days with IBM Consulting, preserving 160+ engineering hours

Blue Pearl, a leading cloud solutions developer and consulting partner, faced challenges modernizing its high-volume consultant-matching platform, BlueApp. Remaining on an outdated Java version was causing security, compliance, and developer friction issues. The company partnered with IBM Consulting and used IBM Bob to accelerate its modernization strategy and overcome these technical hurdles.

IBM Consulting implemented IBM Bob to automate the analysis, refactoring, and verification required for the platform's upgrade. This solution completed a full Java uplift in approximately three days, which was about 90% faster than previous efforts. The results included zero post-deployment defects, the preservation of over 160 engineering hours, and a 15% improvement in response times, providing Blue Pearl with a scalable and repeatable modernization approach.
