Q&A

THE STORY

An ISV who created a product using Oracle Forms technology tried to move forward from this technology.

He tried a couple of things, like writing native Java application.

He abandoned the project since there was no result and high costs.

Looking for an answer since the current situation was not sustainable for him and the future of his company

THE BIG ELEPHANT

VISUALIZING BIG ELEPHANTS

‘AN AUTOMATED APPROACH’ - CONCLUSIONS

1. Yes, it is possible to move forward from Oracle Forms in a

controlled and manageable way.

2. The code quality is high and feels natural (not generated).

3. The output is on average 70% of the original Oracle Form.

4. Possibilities are innumerable after conversion.

THE STORY CONTINUES..

An ISV, who created a product using Oracle Forms technology, is now fully on web and uses both Java and PL/SQL to do critical development.

In only a few months the application was end to end migrated to a modern web-architecture.

He changed his licensing such that customers are OK with his pricing.

He integrated with third party libraries like D3.js for advanced visualization.

He has a bright future again.
