Unlocking AI Enablement by Migrating
Oracle Forms to APEX

Overview

For IT leaders, Architects, Developers

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.

Running Oracle Forms & APEX side by side. How the transition period works!

In cooperation with NYOUG, we are offering you this technical webinar. You will discover how to modernize your Oracle Forms application by migrating from Oracle Forms to APEX — without disrupting daily operations or compromising performance.

Modernizing an Oracle Forms application to APEX is a journey, not a one-time event. Larger projects follow a staged approach, ensuring a smooth transition. During this period, Oracle Forms and APEX must coexist, making seamless UI integration essential.

Look forward to these topics:

• Explore strategies to run Oracle Forms and APEX side by side:
  • Ensuring a smooth, interruption-free migration
  • Stepwise approach of migrating Forms to APEX
• What my Oracle Forms look like in APEX
• Faster and secure with the Forms2APEX Modeler
• Insights of a Forms to APEX migration project at a public sector department
• Q&A

What you get from the webinar:

• Gain a clear understanding of seamless migration 
• Experience the coexistence of  Forms & APEX
• A demo of the stepwise migration with the Forms2APEX Modeler
• Project example

Die fließende Modernisierung von Oracle Forms nach APEX

 

Stuttgart, 17.04.2025 – PITSS ist dieses Jahr als Sponsor auf der APEX Connect vom 13.-15. Mai im Europa-Park Rust dabei. Außerdem zeigt APEX-Experte Stephan La Rocca in seinem Vortrag, wie Datenstrukturen auch in langjährigen, gewachsene Oracle Applikationen zu durchleuchten sind. Die APEX Connect ist die führende deutschsprachige Fachkonferenz für Oracle Application Express (APEX) und bringt jährlich rund 400 Teilnehmer – Entwickler, wie auch Anwender – aus der APEX-Community zusammen. Sie bietet eine Plattform für den Austausch über aktuelle Entwicklungen, Best Practices und innovative Lösungen im Bereich Low-Code-Entwicklung. 

Die APEX Connect ist die Fachkonferenz rund um APEX, PL/SQL und deren Lösungen. Neben neuen Features, Best Practices und Performance Tuning geht es auch um konkrete APEX-Projekte, technische Herausforderungen, Vorgehensmodelle und visuelle Highlights.

Eine besondere Empfehlung geben wir für den Vortrag: “Wie  cool wäre es, ein ERM in Aktion zu sehen?” am 13.05.2025 um 13:00 Uhr im Raum Sanssouci mit unserem geschätzten Kollegen Stephan La Rocca, Head of Development bei PITSS. 

Der Vortrag zeigt, wie man ein bestehendes Datenmodell einer langjährigen Applikation analysieren kann – und zwar nicht isoliert, sondern im Zusammenhang mit den darauf basierenden Anwendungen. Ziel ist es, die tatsächlichen, in der Praxis genutzten Verbindungen zwischen den Tabellen herauszufinden.

Stephan kann aus jahrelanger Projekterfahrung berichten: “In der Praxis stoßen wir oft auf Datenmodelle, die schon viele Jahre alt sind – manchmal Jahrzehnte – und bei denen Begriffe wie Foreign Keys kaum eine Rolle gespielt haben. Wenn man solche Modelle modernisieren will, ist es aber wichtig, die Beziehungen zwischen den Tabellen genau zu verstehen und zu erkennen, welche Rolle jede Tabelle im Gesamtsystem spielt.” 

Besuchen Sie Stephan’s Session  und lassen Sie sich von den Analysemöglichkeiten von Oracle Applikationen begeistern! Der Vortrag enthält zahlreiche Demos und Beispiele, um die Abhängigkeitsanalyse und ihren Nutzen zu veranschaulichen. 

Über die APEX Connect
Die APEX Connect ist mit über 80 Vorträgen und Workshops sowie über 400 Besuchern die größte deutschsprachige Fachkonferenz rund um Oracle APEX (Application Express) – eine Low-Code-Plattform zur Entwicklung moderner Webanwendungen. Sie richtet sich an Entwickler:innen, Architekt:innen, Administrator:innen sowie IT-Entscheider:innen, die mit Oracle-Technologien arbeiten. Die Konferenz wird von der DOAG (Deutsche ORACLE-Anwendergruppe e.V.) organisiert und findet in diesem Jahr zum 11. Mal statt. Veranstaltungsort ist der Europa-Park Rust in Deutschland.

70% of corporate software systems used today are considered legacy.

Why are legacy systems so costly?

Maintenance

Average on-premise server and hardware costs continue to increase year over year.

Staff

It’s difficult to attract and retain new employees who are familiar with legacy systems, so you have to make a deep investment in IT and development staff.

Data Loss

Legacy systems hold years of data. Data loss can cost your company millions.

Customizations

As the enterprise continues to grow, more and more costly modifications are needed to move the business forward.

Vendors

Don’t forget the compounding costs of licensing, development partners, and platforms.

How Incremental Legacy System Modernization Saves Money

When you work incrementally on a legacy modernization project, you’ll reduce development costs and prioritize work based on your organization’s needs. Legacy code is gradually transformed into a modern system that delivers new functionality, allowing your business to grow without disruption to operations and revenue.

Incremental modernization protects your organization’s investment by using the complex business logic that you’ve built into your legacy systems over the years. You’re not simply rebuilding your system from the ground up; you’re preserving your investment and creating new, efficient processes that save time and money.

Not only does a legacy system modernization take place over time so that there is no disruption to your business, it also reduces costs and frees up capital that could be better spent elsewhere within your company.

Start determining the ways that a modernization can save your organization money in the long run. The sooner you know the ways you’ll save, the sooner you can start seeing the benefits in action.
