Oracle Forms migration
We migrate your system automatically, preserving the way it works: screens, logic, and keyboard shortcuts stay the same, so the team keeps working without training. The old system runs in parallel until a safe switchover. And the Oracle licence bill disappears.
Starting point
Support for Oracle Forms is expiring, and the specialists who know these systems are getting scarce. Companies that start looking for a way out usually hear one of two proposals. Both have serious flaws.
Years of work and a budget in the millions, and the biggest risk lies elsewhere: a rewritten system behaves differently from the old one. Users lose habits built over years, and the company pays for it in lost productivity long after go-live.
Migrating to APEX solves the old-technology problem, but not the cost problem: it is still Oracle technology, on an Oracle database, with Oracle licences. The largest line on the IT bill stays exactly where it was.
The third path
We migrate your forms automatically: the same screens, the same logic, the same keyboard shortcuts. Users sit down to work as on any other day and need no training whatsoever. What changes is what the screen does not show: a modern platform underneath, and no more Oracle licences.

Project timeline
No big-bang deployment at the end and nothing that works today gets switched off. The project moves in stages, and you see the result of each one.
We read your Oracle Forms files in full: screens, blocks, lists of values, triggers, PL/SQL logic. The result is a documented map of a system that, these days, often nobody in the company knows inside out.
We save the parsed system as a model: data, screens, and rules. From that moment every element of the application is described and documented, and the platform watches over the consistency of the whole.
The new application and the old system work side by side, on the same data. Your team compares the behaviour screen by screen, with no time pressure and nothing switched off.
When everything checks out, we switch the users over. No training is needed, because the work looks the same. Further changes are built on the new platform, in days instead of quarters.
What you gain
Database licences are often the largest line on the IT bill. After moving to an open PostgreSQL database that line disappears, and the resulting saving can cover the cost of the entire migration project. In many companies the modernisation pays for itself within the first year.
The new application and the old system work side by side on the same data until a safe switchover. There is no big-deployment day, and nothing stops working overnight.
After the switchover, the system stands on a platform where changes take days. The new fields, screens, and integrations postponed for years can finally get done, step by step and without risk.
A good migration is one the users never notice.
We will look at your system, count the forms and triggers, and estimate the scope and the licence savings. Only then do we talk about a quote.
