Ação Sistemas migrated their system developed with Oracle Designer to GeneXus
In addition to completing the migration in three months, the adoption of GeneXus will allow the company specialized in Human Resources Management systems to evolve its application with new functionalities.
Ação Sistemas, a Brazilian company operating in Human Resources Management solutions since 1989, has initiated the migration of its main application to the cloud with the assistance of GeneXus.
Previously, Ação Sistemas operated its flagship solution, UniversalRH, in an on-premises model, built on the development infrastructure with Oracle Designer, resulting in the product being in Oracle Developer. However, challenges related to high licensing and maintenance costs, as well as limitations in tool development, led Action Sistemas to discontinue the use of Oracle development, transitioning its application to the cloud with the support of GeneXus.
The migration, completed in a record time of just three months, provided the company with a new architecture based on Java, offering a more accessible, flexible, and integrated experience to UniversalRH system users.
The transition was supported by BXT, the official distributor of GeneXus in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
Among the most utilized modules of the system are payroll, allowing for the automated processing of employee routines, as well as personnel administration, enabling the registration of employees and third parties, along with all related monthly controls.
Ação Sistemas' technology serves both private and public entities, including municipal, state, or federal levels. Among its key clients are logistics company Marcopolo and the government of Mato Grosso do Sul, which has been using the platform for over five years to manage more than 95,000 employees.
According to Luiz Leite, founder of Ação Sistemas, the choice of GeneXus was due to the time and resource savings for the migration process. "GeneXus provides Dbret, a reverse engineering tool that allowed us to maintain our entire original database, saving a lot of effort from our team, which was extremely satisfied with the final result," explains Leite, who also highlighted the dedication of GeneXus support team to facilitate the transition.
During the process, GeneXus automatically generated about 1,300 transactions based on the database design, easing the transition to the new platform.
With assistance from WorkWithPlus, the team successfully completed the first part of the migration, launching a beta version in Java at the end of November 2023.
Once the initial stage was completed, clients, already able to use the new system, had time to adapt to the platform, continuing to use the on-premises model while training for the transition. This approach allowed users to experience the new system and provide feedback for future improvements.
With the new platform, users could navigate through different modules without the need to switch between systems, providing a more integrated and efficient experience.
Additionally, the new system gained filtering capabilities, enhanced searches, new functions, and improved visualization, which were not offered in the previous structure.
According to BXT CEO Roque Lima, meeting Ação Sistemas' evolving needs demonstrates the capability of GeneXus technology to directly address an application with specific demands. "Considering Ação Sistemas' public operations, each municipality has specific laws for workers, governed by decisions from regional labor unions, but UniversalRH system, with its flexibility, allows customizations to meet each client's requirements," explains Roque.
For GeneXus' country manager for Brazil, Portugal, and Cape Verde, Ricardo Recchi, development platforms need to allow for the creation of scalable and future-proof solutions to be evolved when demanded. "To adapt to market changes, GeneXus offers an independent network environment, providing clients the freedom to migrate their applications to other platforms without high financial costs," Recchi concludes.

Software and Ecology: Electric Vehicles from CRRC Electric
Established in 2007, CRRC Times Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd. (CRRC Electric) is an environmentally friendly enterprise, and the first high-tech company specialized in R&D for electric vehicle manufacturing in China. Over the course of 15 years, it has designed, built and marketed thousands of these vehicles, positively impacting the reduction of pollutant emissions.
With the future in mind, CRRC focuses on "Connecting the world for the benefit of humanity,” implements strategies involving globalization, diversification, and collaboration around the central themes of "innovation," "change" and "globalization," and consolidates its position as a high-end equipment supplier in the world of transportation.
CRRC provides products and services that help save energy and protect the environment with vehicles that are safe, cost-effective, smart, high-speed and comfortable. It uses the best technologies to provide the most complete and efficient solutions for the sustainable development of rail transport.
CRRC Electric products are currently exported to more than one hundred countries and regions in seven continents around the world.
Increased productivity, efficiency, and systems integration with Low-Code platform
In 2018, CRRC Electric set out to rebuild its information platform to adapt to the rapid development the company was experiencing.
Among various technology tools offered by the software market for its digital transformation, it chose the GeneXus Low-Code platform, included in the full product suite: GeneXus, GeneXus Business Process management, GeneXus Server, GXtest and GeneXus For SAP Systems.
According to Alex Gao, a team member who worked on this project from GeneXus China, the most important reason why GeneXus was chosen is that "it offers rapid development and powerful functions. With GeneXus, we can develop web and app, use flow engine work and connect with SAP systems".
Over the years using GeneXus, CRRC Electric has developed many applications in order to deliver a technology platform suitable for a company engaged in the innovative electric vehicle industry.
Some of these solutions include a Web Portal, CRM (Customer Relationship Management), SRM (Supplier Relationship Management), OA (Office Automation), MES (Manufacturing implementation system), ASS (After-sales service system), WMS (Storage system), Human resources (Human resource management), Process center system, and QMS (Quality management system).
"We used GeneXus to manage the collaborative office of the company, which was of great help in managing the company," adds Gao.
CRRC’s development team highlighted the following benefits of using GeneXus:
It helped them build an efficient technical team.
Their independent R&D capabilities have improved considerably.
Efficient work and high quality products have been consistently recognized.
Regarding how GeneXus for SAP helped with the ERP integration, Gao says that the connection between GeneXus and SAP is very convenient because SAP functions can interact with the data directly after the import: "What would take an entire day with traditional development, it only takes about an hour with GeneXus".
Using GeneXus has helped them increase productivity. In 2018, relatively substantial adjustments were made to the company's information system, including network infrastructure migration, SAP system migration, and migration of multiple peripheral systems connected with SAP.
Due to the need for a unified technical architecture, the lack of technical personnel and the long time required to establish a traditional technical team, choosing a low code platform has become a way to achieve their goal quickly.
As a result, the use of GeneXus has helped them increase productivity while improving efficiency and systems integration. Last but not least, thanks to its ecological product translated into almost 50,000 vehicles, China has had an impact on reducing polluting emissions on the planet.

Software Development Excellence with JBCC Agile
Have you ever wondered why Japan is an example of high productivity and technological excellence? Whether due to its mastery of robotics and hardware, or its great capacity for innovation together with its Kaizen philosophy of continuous improvement, Japan is always at the forefront. However, this is not always the case when it comes to software development.
This article explains why a Japanese company that provides technology solutions has chosen a different methodology for its market –the agile development methodology– instead of the cascading methodology that prevails in Japan. Also, how this paradigm shift that is necessary to advance software development was made possible with an automatic low-code development platform such as GeneXus.
JBCC Corporation is one of our main partners in Japan since 2013. It has achieved a remarkable track record over these years, and here is an account of its work with agile methodologies together with GeneXus.
The Japanese company is mainly engaged in hardware-related businesses and, as a result, in software services as well. In this context, it provides solutions to companies using GeneXus.
It has clients in different sectors, most of them in the manufacturing industry, but also in services and education. Throughout this time it has obtained excellent results in more than 200 projects developed with GeneXus.
Automation is the first feature highlighted by JBCC’s technicians. In evaluating the results obtained, they concluded that on average their productivity was increased by 70% compared to manual Java coding.
Productivity and integration are other benefits obtained. Also, to be able to quickly deliver quality solutions adapted to the user’s needs with a 40% reduction in development time and with an agile methodology (compared to the waterfall methodology). “Delivering an easy-to-use system is the most important for the customer, and achieving the customer’s trust is very important for JBCC. GeneXus is a high quality product to be able to deliver high quality system and that is the way to build that trust,” stated Mr. Takahiro Nakano from the company JBCC, and added: “Using GeneXus to develop a system enables us to achieve high-quality system integration, which further deepens the trust between us and our customers.”
Agile development, in addition, has enabled this software house to succeed. GeneXus is the backbone of JBCC’s method called JBCC Agile, states Mr. Kawakami, Director of Systems Integration.
«Using GeneXus to develop a system enables us to achieve high quality system integration, which further deepens the trust between us and our customers.»
Mr. Takahiro Nakano. JBCC.
Formula for successful software development in Japan: JBCC Agile + GeneXus
Japan is recognized worldwide for its outstanding technology and highly perfectionist style. Perfection is an ideal that can be rigorously achieved, but in the software field it also requires some flexibility. That’s why JBCC looked for other development methodologies and now thrives with GeneXus and the JB Agile methodology.
Agile methodology is a concept used in software development to describe incremental and iterative development methodologies that allow the team to quickly adapt to changing needs.
JBCC Agile is the adaptation of this methodology to the Japanese market, implemented in 5 iteration phases:
1. Situation analysis,
2. Requirements,
3. Prototyping,
4. Product, and
5. Finally, the iterative development phase for the product.
Since changes can be generated automatically in the prototyping phase or in part of the database, JBCC’s technicians highlight the capacity to advance between these different phases –even with bugs– quickly and smoothly.
In addition, when a finished product is delivered to the customer, it is easy to maintain. And this aspect is very important, according to JBCC, because customers value being able to continue to easily maintain the systems by themselves.
Why did software development flexibility give the company unprecedented power to move forward with each project? JBCC technicians summarize it in 2 advantages provided by GeneXus.
Two advantages of using GeneXus, according to JBCC:
1. “Automatic generation frees us from manual coding and speeds up progress.”
2. “Database refactoring is automatically performed by GeneXus based on changes in the data model.”
Now that GeneXus’ strengths have been linked to software innovation in Japan, it is time to go deeper into the details of the agile methodology adapted to this impressive Japanese company.
Overview of JBCC’s Agile Development:
- Situation Analysis and definition of requirements: this is the first step. In general, consultants working on the Situation Analysis focus on “TO BE” (what they want to achieve). However, for JBCC Agile, the System Architecture doesn’t work with this alone. JBCC’s agile methodology, besides controlling the “TO BE” aspect, takes into account the “AS IS” aspect (considering the Current Situation). In addition, thanks to the function integration method, an attainable “Scope Setting” can be established, allowing the system to be successfully rebuilt.
-In the Requirements Definition phase, new tasks are quickly mapped at first and then checked later. Also, a summary of the client’s requirements is made.
-When the basic Test Case is performed with the client, data update patterns can be identified, and GeneXus is introduced to view the normalization of forms on screen. In the end, this allows for faster database building. JBCC calls it “Core Model Development.”
- Iterative development from the prototype phase. GeneXus is used in this development phase because it enables agile development. Also, in this phase JBCC advises its clients to learn how to use GeneXus because it allows them to perform maintenance themselves once the project is delivered.
- Iteration is performed only 5 times to complete the product –no more, no less.
- Customer training. Clients are advised to use GeneXus so that they are able to maintain the systems themselves. The training program lasts 3 months, but in general after 2 months clients already have working knowledge of the software. At the beginning of the project, they can do development tasks with JBCC as any other staff member, and at the end of the phase they can perform maintenance tasks on their own.
- Finally, the client is shown the old and the new programs, comparing how the two work in parallel. This is verified through 5 iterations until the project is completed. In this way, the basic Test Cases are updated until the end of the requirements verification. Then, in the Product phase – or the final version of the Test Case– the Pilot Phase is reached in which the final product is delivered. For screen display, of the 5 iterations, JBCC manages the 1st and 3rd iteration; the 2nd and 4th iterations are managed by the client.
JBCC Agile Methodology in Yoyogi Seminar:
Yoyogi Seminar is one of the large clients to whom JBCC provides solutions.
“With JBCC Agile, our project could be completed in a year and a half. The other big company we approached for a quote estimated that it would take us 4 years. In the end, we achieved savings of one fifth of the operational costs.”
Technical details: In one and a half years, 697 functions and 2115 programs were created.
The main tasks consisted of building systems with batch processing and spreadsheets.
“Due to the project’s size, we divided into 3 large teams. By focusing on the production work, within 5 months we had developed about 2100 programs. In terms of productivity, on average we would make about 14 programs per month, with each technician producing 3 to 4 programs per week.”
Yoyogi’s staff also highlight their confidence on the system, due to its ease of integration and normalization of the database: “It makes us very confident about the changes in examination systems that we have to face in 2020.”

L´Oeil optimizes processes with ERP Send Decor, developed in GeneXus
The enterprise management system was created exclusively to meet the specific needs of the furniture and decoration sector. One of the highlighted functionalities is the complete order tracking, a process that ranges from purchase realization to inventory management, logistics, and after-sales service.
L’oeil, a leader in the Brazilian luxury furniture and decoration market with 30 years of experience, optimized its administrative processes and improved its front-store operations with the implementation of the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) Send Decor, a solution developed by Send Informática through GeneXus.
The company, which has six stores located in São Paulo in the main decoration centers, such as Shopping D&D, Lar Center, and Jardins, faced challenges in its management, especially related to logistics and inventory control, as the old system did not meet the demands of its current structures.
L’oeil's general director, Renata Pazini, revealed that she chose Send Decor because it is an ERP developed exclusively for the decoration segment, covering all processes of a furniture store. "Send Decor's ERP monitors all orders completely, from order placement, through inventory management, to logistics and after-sales. Without this management, it would not have been possible for us to open three more stores in São Paulo in 2022," she explains.
Send Decor also allows the automation of financial and fiscal processes.
Among the benefits of the implementation, it is also possible to mention L’oeil's front-store processes, which were completely personalized, enabling instant quotes and automatic orders. This advancement increased the operational efficiency of the more than 100 employees in the store network, while significantly reducing the time for generating quotes and orders, since all products are detailed in the system.
Eduardo Aguilar, commercial director of Send Informática, explains that, since the furniture market is a complex segment with many particularities, it was necessary to create a specific ERP for the sector and not just adapt an off-the-shelf system. "An enterprise management system for the furniture and decoration segment needs to allow many customizations and parameterizations because each product can have numerous characteristics such as color, size, fabric, etc. In this sense, using GeneXus was essential for us to offer all customizations within the system," comments Aguilar.
For Ricardo Recchi, Country Manager of GeneXus Brazil, Portugal, and Cape Verde, using a recognized Low-Code platform is important to ensure that a solution can be updated whenever necessary and according to market demands. "The great advantage of GeneXus is to provide a tool that is always innovating, allowing any application to evolve over time, always staying ahead in the market, regardless of the sector of activity," Recchi concludes.

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Kamakura Works & GeneXus Low-Code
Why did the Information Systems Department, which used to develop the system entirely in-house, focus on Low-Code development and decide to introduce it?
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Kamakura Works (hereinafter referred to as “Kamakura Works”) has been developing all the IT systems used in the office by itself, making full use of the latest technology at the time. We asked its members how they introduced GeneXus, a Low-Code development method, and G.RAD.E to further increase productivity from 2018.
Every system was made in-house except for the company’s communal system:
The Information System Section of the Manufacturing Management Department of Kamakura Works, which we spoke with this time, is responsible for the maintenance and management of all the PCs, servers and networks used in the plant, as well as the development and maintenance of most of the systems used in the plant. Mitsubishi Electric Information Network Co., Ltd. is famous not only as a system integrator for Mitsubishi Electric, but also as an IT system integrator for a wide range of industries.
The Kamakura Works is not a division that only manufactures Mitsubishi Electric products. It is highly independent from the head office, and the scope of work is very similar to that of a normal company, including management of orders from the sales department, production management, and personnel task management, so this section develops and maintains all the IT systems operated at the Kamakura Works in addition to the ones that are common to the entire company.
Naturally, we are constantly improving and upgrading the system on a proposal basis in cooperation with each department to improve business operations.
Problems that arose in the department that had chosen the latest development base:
Since we think about and promote business solutions on our own rather than leaving it to the vendors, we have always sought and selected the optimal solution for the development infrastructure and language to match the appropriateness of the system to be developed.
As a result, some of these systems, which were initially the latest technology, have become legacy systems as technology advances. Recently, the loss of support for Oracle Developer 2000, which we have been using since 2000, has been an issue.
Recently, we have been developing with Java, but for further productivity improvement, we investigated Low-Code development, which we had been focusing on for a long time.
Select GeneXus from a number of Low-Code development platforms:
From the information we gathered on the Internet, we chose a development platform that met the security constraints inherent in the Kamakura factory, such as the inability to use the cloud, and in the end, GeneXus and another visual modeling tool were the two finalists. The deciding factor was the licensing system.
“GeneXus charges per developer’s license, whereas visual modeling tools charge per program developed,” he said. “For someone like us who develops a lot of systems, GeneXus, which charges by the number of developers, is more cost effective.”
In addition, the ability to reuse the SQL, stored procedures and other assets of the system currently in use was also a key point.
In addition, the freedom of choice of operating environment and language was an important factor. It was also good to have multi-platform support and the ability to choose the language to be generated. The sustainability of being able to migrate to a new environment with the same source code, without being overwhelmed by future OS or database changes, is very attractive.
With the mixture of various DB and OS versions, it is not practical to modify each program individually, as it would be a lot of work.
«GeneXus charges per developer’s license, whereas visual modeling tools charge per program developed. For someone like us who develops a lot of systems, GeneXus, which charges by the number of developers, is more cost effective.»
Explore templates for further productivity gains:
Kamakura Works introduced GeneXus in 2018. The following year, we started to develop the system in earnest, and as of July 2020, we have released seven systems.
At that time, we happened to be able to exchange ideas with another user company at a seminar by a tool vendor called Genexus Day.
The company advised us that we could increase our productivity by using a template product like WorkWithPlus rather than using GeneXus on its own. So we asked the company to explain to WeING Co., Ltd., who had requested development support for GeneXus.
At that time, WeING Co., Ltd. had just released a template infrastructure product G.RAD.E (GeneXus Rapid Application Development Environment) utilizing WorkWithPlus and received this introduction. We were interested in G.RAD.E, its applicability to practice and its productivity improvement, and decided to try and evaluate it in a business that was scheduled to be released on the premise of Java development at the time.
Actual productivity going up in G.RAD.E and future challenges:
The results of the evaluation of the system that was planned to be released in JAVA and developed in G.RAD.E are shown in Table 1. Table 1 shows the evaluation results for each theme.
As far as the evaluation sheet is concerned, some of the screens are more productive and some of the functions are not so productive.
As we developed it with zero knowledge, it took us a little time to learn and get used to it, but the development time in the table includes that.
We feel that it could have been done more effectively by someone who is more familiar with it.
Migrating the current system to GeneXus in exactly the same way would take a lot of time, but if you develop it using the templates provided, it will work.
If you’re not familiar with how to choose a template, there will be rework and trial and error. I feel that once I get used to it, my productivity will improve.
Personally, we’re under the impression that it’s going to be at least 50% less than Java. It’s convenient to be able to automatically create parts of the code that would have to be implemented in Java, especially the standard output part.
We asked them about the challenges of using G.RAD.E. It was difficult to create an environment with the security constraints unique to Kamakura Seisakusho. Standardization of development and release procedures is necessary, but we need to prepare for G.RAD.E.. We are groping for a way to change the traditional waterfall approach and development methodology to one that is best suited for GeneXus + G.RAD.E. Establishing a methodology for team development is a challenge for the future.
