BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Nearshore contract manager and Section Leader of the Platforms Product in the Business Computing Group.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What business challenge were you trying to address with Dreamix? 

The modernization of “Roles,” a role-based access control application used for the roles and access rights of CERN’s administration and all kinds of business-supporting IT applications.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?
Our project involves a comprehensive upgrade of our existing role-based access control system, currently built using Oracle APEX and PL/SQL. The objective is to transition to a more modern system with revamped architecture based on React and Java technologies. In the initial phase, we replaced the APEX user interface with a simple Spring + REST backend. It was a strategic decision to address the user interface component first, ensuring a smoother transition.

While doing this, we retained a substantial portion of the core logic in PL/SQL, allowing us to prioritize UI enhancements and maintain the system's functionality. In the second phase, we are focusing on the migration of the remaining logic from PL/SQL to Java.

This stage includes the transfer of critical business logic and the introduction of new features to enhance the system's capabilities. This approach allows us to have a seamless transition for users while improving and modernizing our system.
What is the team composition?
1 UX designer and a 3-person development team.
How did you come to work with Dreamix?
Our decision was primarily influenced by the vendor's alignment with our values as an organization, their agile mindset, and their competitive pricing.
What is the status of this engagement?
The collaboration between our teams has been highly effective. Their flexibility and alignment with our agile values make it really easy to coordinate and work together. This smooth coordination extended to both administrative aspects and the integration of their team of developers into our group.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We have achieved significant milestones in our project that showcase substantial progress and success. Notably, we've successfully implemented the new system alongside the legacy one, ensuring a smooth transition. Additionally, we've started the backend migration to Spring, a pivotal step in improving the system's architecture for enhanced performance and scalability.

Moreover, we've incorporated some of the most requested user features, reflecting our responsiveness to user demands. Overall, the project is proceeding according to our planned timeline, which is a strong indicator of success.
What did you find most impressive about Dreamix?
Firstly, the impressive 95% retention rate among their employees is a clear testament to their ability to create a positive and engaging work environment. Additionally, their strong sense of social responsibility, since they donate a portion of their revenue to charitable causes.
Are there any areas they could improve?
