What we've migrated

Real Oracle Forms migrations and the patterns that scale across regulated industries. We preserve every business rule, run the legacy and modern systems in parallel, and deliver in months instead of years.

Aerospace

Satellite network control: 23 screens, 47 data blocks, 312 triggers — migrated in 8 weeks

The problem

Mission-critical satellite ground control system built on Oracle Forms. 184 PL/SQL packages encoding two decades of orbital mechanics, station-keeping, and anomaly response logic. Two remaining developers who understood the codebase. No documentation outside the .fmb files themselves.

The approach

Full automated extraction of every .fmb file. Catalogued 312 triggers, 47 data blocks, and 9,400 lines of PL/SQL into structured JSON descriptors. Generated a TypeScript runtime, REST API layer connected to the existing Oracle Database, and parallel-operation cutover plan.

The outcome

8-week migration. 100% business logic preserved. Zero downtime during cutover. Modern web interface accessible from operations control rooms and remote monitoring stations.

Insurance

Regional insurer: 184 screens, 9,400 PL/SQL triggers, $3.2M previous failure

The problem

Claims processing system built over 20 years on Oracle Forms. Previous modernization attempt burned $3.2M over 26 months and shipped nothing. 184 screens, ~9,400 PL/SQL triggers, two developers who understood any of it. Compliance audits depended on the original Forms code walkthroughs.

The approach

Automated extraction surfaced every business rule before any code generation. SOX-relevant controls catalogued separately and re-tested against the new system. Parallel operation through a REST API layer kept the legacy system live during the entire migration.

The outcome

Migration completed inside the original budget envelope. Both systems ran in parallel during cutover. SOX 404 attestation completed without findings.
