Case Study: a financial services company accelerates Informix 4GL to Java migration with Ispirer Toolkit

a financial services company speeds Informix 4GL migration 3x with Ispirer Systems

A financial services company operating primarily in Hungary faced the challenge of modernizing its legacy software suite, which was built on the outdated Informix 4GL language. This system was difficult to maintain, costly to support, and hard to integrate with new technologies due to a shrinking talent pool. The company engaged Ispirer Systems to automate the migration of over 2 million lines of code to Java.

Ispirer Systems provided a customized version of its Ispirer Toolkit, which was extended with specific conversion rules and a framework to handle unique source technology functionality. This solution accelerated the migration process by three times, reducing a task that would have taken 2-3 months to just one month. The results for the customer included significantly lower maintenance costs, resolved integration issues, and the mitigation of risks associated with the legacy technology.
