A leading U.S.-based reputable educational Establishment embarked on a large-scale modernization initiative to migrate legacy Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting (formerly BRIO) reports to Oracle BI Publisher. The institution, which manages hundreds of academic and administrative datasets, needed a robust and scalable solution to ensure long-term support, data consistency, and compliance with audit standards.
To address these needs, the Hyperion/BRIO reports to BI Publisher migration was initiated using DataTerrain's proprietary automation engine. Over a six-month timeline, a total of 325 BRIO reports were successfully converted, customized, tested, and deployed into the customer's production environment. The project then transitioned into a 12-year support and maintenance phase, establishing an enduring relationship to ensure ongoing accuracy of reports and enhancements.
The Reputed Educational Establishment selected DataTerrain for its deep expertise in legacy BI platform migrations, particularly Hyperion/BRIO reports to BI Publisher projects. With a focus on automation and customization, the migration ensured rapid delivery of high-fidelity reports with minimal manual rework.
The use of DataTerrain's automated Hyperion/BRIO to Oracle BI Publisher Converter accelerated the conversion process, preserving critical data logic and report structure.
DataTerrain established a dedicated conversion environment to begin inventorying and analyzing reports. This included capturing source report versions from Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting V9, analyzing logic complexity, and classifying reports for priority-based conversion.
The automated migration engine was configured to streamline conversion within the DataTerrain environment, ensuring controlled processing before deployment to the customer environment.
Approximately 325 Hyperion/BRIO reports were converted into BI Publisher formats, including:
This phase ensured that academic dashboards and administrative summaries retained visual and functional integrity.
Every report underwent stringent testing for:
Reports were validated against production data to ensure seamless replacement of BRIO reports without disrupting user workflows.
Once validated, reports were deployed to the customer environment using Oracle BI Publisher 11. This marked the beginning of a 12+ year-long support phase that included:
The support arrangement ensured system reliability and adherence to governance over the long term.
