What is Oracle Forms?
According to Oracle, Oracle Forms is “a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware” and is a “long-established technology to design and build enterprise applications quickly and efficiently.” Many mid-to-large size enterprise applications in a variety of industries are built on Oracle Forms.
Why is Oracle Forms Considered Legacy Technology?
Legacy applications are by definition outdated or obsolete software. For instance, Oracle Forms is increasingly becoming outdated because many enterprises have difficulties upgrading their Oracle Forms applications. Yes, Forms applications will be around for a long time. However, they’re silos. They’re difficult to integrate with modern applications, full of technical debt, and have a history of poor documentation. Learn more about the future of legacy Oracle Forms applications in our recent study.
