Jaspersoft EOL: How to Migrate Your Clarity Reports Safely

Jaspersoft EOL Clarity reporting migration decision tree across four target paths
Tricise | Blog | Jaspersoft EOL: How to Migrate Your Clarity Reports Safely

On 11 September 2026, Jaspersoft inside Broadcom Clarity reaches end of life. If you run portfolio, status, financial or resource reports on that embedded engine, every one of them has to move before the 16.4.3 upgrade removes it. This is the practical guide to planning your Jaspersoft EOL Clarity migration — what the deadline actually means, the four target paths your reports can take, and how a fixed-price, calendar-certain approach removes the open-ended risk that stalls most teams.

We built the Jaspersoft EOL Survival Kit because we kept having the same conversation with Clarity customers across Europe. They knew the deadline. They had read Broadcom’s announcements. Many had even started inventorying their reports — and then stopped, because the next step was either an open-ended consulting engagement nobody wanted to scope or a do-it-yourself project nobody had time to staff. The Survival Kit replaces both with a productised offering: a fixed price per report, a calendar-certain timeline, and one consultant who owns the conversation from the first call to the final cutover.

What the Jaspersoft EOL Clarity deadline actually means

Broadcom’s recommended destination is the Clarity Modern UX reporting framework, available as a native Workspace since Clarity 16.3.3. The 16.4.3 upgrade on 11 September 2026 is the version that removes Jaspersoft for SaaS customers, so it is the cutover most teams are aligning to. The detail is set out in Broadcom’s migration to native Clarity reporting note. That is the destination; the real question is how you reach it without losing the institutional knowledge that has accumulated inside each report over the last decade.

The end-of-life event is not a single switch. Each report carries a different mix of components — sub-reports, conditional formatting, time-phased data slices, ad-hoc views, custom widgets, audience-specific export formats — and each one migrates differently. A three-column status table with no conditional formatting is a five-minute exercise in the new framework. A financial report with nested sub-reports, period-over-period comparisons and a pixel-perfect Word export is a multi-day rebuild that touches data modelling, presentation logic and downstream document automation.

There is no one-size-fits-all migration, and billing that complexity by the hour is the dishonest answer. The Survival Kit takes a third path: classify each report by its real complexity with a transparent point system, group reports into six T-shirt sizes (XS to XXL), and publish a fixed indicative price for each size before you sign anything. The point system is open, so you can see which factors add story points to a report and which take them away — no black box, no surprise invoice.

The four migration paths for your Clarity reports

Most reports follow one of four destinations. The point of the assessment is to put each report on the right one — not to force the whole estate down a single route.

  • The new Clarity Reporting Workspace is the default when a report is operational, lives close to Clarity’s data model, and benefits from staying inside the platform that already governs your security, governance and access rules.
  • Power BI is the better home for analytical dashboards and reports where the visual layer matters more than operational integration, and where your business already has Power BI skills in-house.
  • Tricise specialised solutions come into play when you hit a migration road-block. Tricise Docs is a native Word-export module for reports that exist primarily as a printable document — project charters, detailed editorial reports, board packs — where the editable Word file is the deliverable, not just an export format. Tricise Visualizer is an expert service built on a custom visualization engine that reproduces pixel-perfect PDF, PowerPoint or live-dashboard output as a faithful replica of the current Jaspersoft report.
  • Tricise Bridge is for when you have run out of time, or prefer to wait for richer functionality arriving in the Clarity reporting engine. Bridge keeps your Jaspersoft reports running on a Tricise-managed hosted environment for a defined period while the longer-term migration is sequenced. It is a plan B, not a recommended steady state — but it is the difference between a calm September and a frantic one.

Where a report needs more than the stock platform offers, the same engineering sits behind our wider Clarity add-ons, so the visualization and document work is not a one-off experiment.

Why a packaged approach beats a custom statement of work

A custom statement of work makes sense when the scope is genuinely unique. A Jaspersoft EOL Clarity migration is not unique — every Clarity customer is doing the same exercise, against the same deadline, toward the same target platform. Treating it as a bespoke engagement transfers all of the planning risk to you. A packaged, standardised offering puts that risk on the vendor, where it belongs: a fixed price per report, a published indicative quote, and a single point of contact who owns the relationship.

It also gives you something a custom SOW cannot: a comparable benchmark across your own report portfolio. When every report is scored against the same transparent rules, you can spot the outliers — the three reports that account for forty percent of the effort — and decide consciously whether to migrate, simplify or retire them. That conversation is far harder to have when the entire estate is quoted as a single lump, and it is the same discipline behind our expert Clarity implementation work.

Indicative pricing for your Jaspersoft EOL Clarity migration, with the math shown

The Survival Kit prices each report on a six-tier scale from XS to XXL, driven by the story-point total computed from your answers. XS covers the simplest data-export reports and sits at the bottom of the band; XXL covers the most complex multi-section, multi-export, finance-grade reports at the top. The point system is open — you can see exactly which factors add story points and which subtract them.

Two add-on modules sit alongside the per-report price: Tricise Docs, a flat €3,000 per report for native Word exports across the portfolio, and the Tricise Visualizer service, a starting-at €5,000 scope that always begins with a dedicated advisory call. Before any work starts, Tricise takes a final look at the reports to avoid wrong assumptions and confirms the quote and the migration path in a 30-minute advisory call. Running the assessment implies no commitment.

What Tricise promises

A fixed price per report. A calendar-certain delivery window. One consultant who owns the conversation from the first advisory call to the final cutover. On top of that, our reporting specialist can deliver online training to your team so the reporting skill stays in-house rather than walking out the door with the project. And if you are new to Tricise and renew your Clarity subscription with Gold or Platinum Application Support, the migration effort is on us (conditions apply).

Frequently asked questions about Jaspersoft EOL in Clarity

These are the questions Clarity teams ask us most often once the deadline becomes real. If yours is not here, the advisory call is the place to raise it — every tenant has at least one report that does not fit the obvious pattern.

When does Jaspersoft reach end of life in Clarity?

Jaspersoft reporting inside Clarity SaaS reaches end of life on 11 September 2026, when Clarity is upgraded to version 16.4.3. From that point the embedded Jaspersoft report engine is no longer a supported component of the platform.

What replaces Jaspersoft reporting in Clarity?

Broadcom’s recommended replacement is the native Modern UX reporting Workspace, available from Clarity 16.3.3. Depending on the report, your other options are Power BI, the Tricise Docs or Tricise Visualizer modules, or running on Tricise Bridge temporarily while you migrate.

How much does a Jaspersoft EOL Clarity migration cost?

Each report is priced on a six-tier XS–XXL scale from a transparent story-point score, with a fixed indicative price published before you sign. 

What if we cannot migrate every report before 11 September 2026?

Tricise Bridge keeps your Jaspersoft reports running on a Tricise-managed hosted environment for a defined period while the rest of the migration is sequenced. It is a plan B rather than a permanent home, but it buys you a calm cutover instead of a frantic one.

Is the assessment free, and does it commit us to anything?

The fifteen-minute self-service assessment is free and produces a fixed-price proposal in your inbox. Running it implies no commitment — Tricise confirms the scope, the quote and the migration path with you in a 30-minute advisory call before any work begins.
