Oracle Forms vs APEX –
Should I stay or should I go?

Oracle Forms or APEX?
Or Oracle Forms AND APEX?
The future is APEX!

A post by Günther Stürner

Despite Oracle Forms 14, ORACLE FORMS applications are candidates for transformation. Oracle has not yet said so clearly and publicly. It has been couched in diplomatic terms. But the signs are unmistakable. They are crystal clear.

Oracle Forms and APEX elefants - Should I stay or should I go?

“When a technology disappears (Forms & Reports), or at least loses much of its significance, but at the same time there is a successor technology (APEX) that can replace the old technology with relatively little effort and a very high level of security thanks to innovative software tools (PITSS.CON Suite), then that is a blessing.” Günther Stürner

Don’t get left behind…stay ahead of the game

This is a friendly wake-up call to all Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports customers…don’t underestimate the current dynamics in IT! Don’t get left behind…stay ahead of the game!

* Forms upgrade is a MUST 

* Forms upgrade & move to cloud is the perfect step 

* Forms-2-APEX is the gold standard.

Forms-2-APEX migrations and Reports migrations are technically very manageable these days, provided you have the right tools.

Let’s go… but stepwise!

The coexistence of Oracle Forms APPs and APEX APPs is becoming an increasingly important factor in practice. In this variant, existing Forms applications are primarily supplemented by new APEX developments. Cluster by cluster is migrated to APEX and then put into production. During the migration phase, the clusters/modules that have already migrated to APEX are operated together with the existing Forms modules.

So you can relax and choose “I go,” because the seamless transition from Oracle Forms to APEX is the most stress-free form of migration! And you’ll be perfectly positioned for the future!

This cluster approach, which has proven itself in many PITSS projects, makes it possible to operate the entire system as a “hybrid application” during the migration period.

Let’s go together
