challenges in an Oracle Forms
to APEX modernization”

The overwhelming response, with over 180 registrations, underlines the significant interest in this crucial topic. A special thanks goes to Mónica Godoy, Senior Principal Product Manager APEX at Oracle, who enriched the discussion enormously with her great knowledge.

Stuttgart 03/25/2024 – On March 13, 2024, the modernization expert PITSS hosted the live webinar “Top challenges in an Oracle Forms to APEX modernization”. Developers, Programmers, System Architects, Project and IT Managers from all over the world were invited.

In the webinar, the experts provided answers to the most frequently asked questions about Forms to APEX projects in a panel discussion. The most important questions were collected before and during the webinar. The audience took the opportunity to ask their questions. From technology decisions and project planning to the transformation and possibilities of the new APEX application, everything got covered.

An important point of discussion for all Project Managers was Business Logic to Database and its immense importance within a modernization as well as best practices from real world modernization projects.

The numerous advantages of modernization according to Oracle APEX presented by the panel were then able to motivate even the last doubters to face the topic with enthusiasm and confidence. After all, modernization, redesign, simplification, more functionalities and possibilities, no limitations for mobile devices and less complexity in the application are just some of the weighty arguments for the transformation to APEX.

Unlocking AI Enablement by Migrating
Oracle Forms to APEX

Overview

What this webinar is about

Many enterprises are still running stable and business‑critical Oracle Forms applications. While these systems continue to perform reliably, organizations are increasingly challenged when it comes to innovation and AI adoption. Integrating modern AI capabilities—such as chatbots, AI agents, or LLM‑based analytics—directly into Oracle Forms applications is often not feasible. As a result, companies frequently consider rebuilding applications from scratch, facing higher costs, increased complexity, and fragmented system landscapes.

In this webinar, we present a pragmatic and low‑risk alternative. By combining Oracle OCI AI Services with Oracle APEX as the native web application platform on OCI, organizations can enable AI capabilities step by step, without disrupting their existing Oracle Forms environments. Instead of a costly big‑bang modernization, a proven side‑by‑side approach allows AI functionality to be introduced alongside existing applications, focusing on concrete use cases that deliver fast, measurable business value. Participants will learn how Oracle Forms applications can be analyzed and structured into functional clusters, how relevant AI use cases can be identified, and how selected components can be incrementally extended or rebuilt in Oracle APEX. This approach not only stabilizes ongoing operations but also generates valuable insights that support and accelerate modernization initiatives such as Forms2APEX from day one.

The webinar clearly demonstrates that getting started with AI does not have to be a large‑scale transformation project. Instead, organizations can adopt AI in a focused, incremental, and value‑driven way—fully aligned with Oracle’s strategic direction.
