European Commission (DG MARE)
Company Size
~1,000 employees (estimated for DG MARE)
Revenue Range
Public sector funded (budget-based)
Primary Challenge
Slow, manual migration of legacy IT applications; siloed data limiting analytics and decision-making
Key Metrics
\- Refactored 2,000+ business rules in minutes vs. estimated 12,000 person-days\- 90% accuracy in AI-generated cloud-ready code\- Unified data platform integrating fishing vessel locations and catch declarations from 27 EU member states plus third countries
The Problem
DG MARE’s legacy IT applications and data were siloed and required extensive manual rewriting to migrate to cloud infrastructure, delaying modernization and limiting cross-data analytics capabilities.
The Solution
Developed a generative AI tool using large language models to automatically refactor legacy business rules into cloud-ready code, accelerating migration to AWS cloud and enabling the creation of a unified data platform called Ocean Store.
Results
\- Reduced code refactoring time from 12,000 person-days to minutes\- Increased developer productivity significantly\- Created a unified data platform integrating diverse fisheries data\- Enabled advanced analytics to detect illegal fishing and support policy enforcement
“Generative AI has transformed our ability to migrate critical applications swiftly, enabling more agile, data-driven decision-making to safeguard European fisheries.”
