This event marked a significant collaboration with Oracle, underscored by the active involvement of Marc Sewtz, Senior Director of Software Development at Oracle, affirming the strategic alignment between PITSS and Oracle’s vision.

PITSS, as successful player in that market and the host, emphasized the pivotal role of its proven products, predicted a heightened further automation in migration, coupled with the integration of AI. A crucial moment here was the presentation of ProcMAPE, a groundbreaking project funded by BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research) focusing on the data-driven adaptation of object-centered processes in software systems. The success of PITSS’s migration approach, characterized by a blend of cutting-edge products and expert services, was showcased through numerous successful projects.

The panel discussions delved into diverse projects and best practices, unanimously concurring that companies should aspire for more than a simple 1:1 migration during the modernization process. Drawing inspiration from Savantage Solutions, cluster-wise migration emerged as the preferred strategy, yielding the highest satisfaction in projects. The innovative ideas presented garnered widespread recognition, particularly as they can be seamlessly integrated into Forms to APEX migration projects.
