Transitioning from Oracle Forms to Oracle APEX, a more modern and flexible low-code development platform, many organizations are finding enhanced capabilities and adaptability.
While Oracle Forms remains a viable choice for some, the allure of Oracle APEX’s advanced features and ease of development is compelling a shift for numerous entities.
What are oracle forms?
Oracle Forms is a component of the Oracle Developer Suite, a comprehensive set of tools for building, testing, and deploying applications. Oracle Forms is specifically designed for creating database-centric applications with a graphical user interface (GUI).
- Modern user interface: Oracle APEX applications can be built with a modern user interface that is responsive and accessible on all devices. This is a significant improvement over the outdated user interface of Oracle Forms.
- Easier development and maintenance: Oracle APEX is a low-code development platform, which means that you can build and maintain your applications with less code. This can lead to significant time and cost savings.
- Better scalability: Oracle APEX applications can be scaled to support a large number of users and transactions. This is especially important for organizations that are experiencing rapid growth.
- Lower costs: Oracle APEX is a free and open-source platform, which means that you can save money on development and licensing costs.
- Frequent version releases: Oracle APEX releases new versions on a regular basis, each with new features and improvements. This ensures that your applications are always up-to-date and that you have access to the latest technologies.

How Companies Benefited from Migrating from Oracle Forms to Oracle APEX
Migrating from Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express (APEX) can offer several advantages, addressing the evolving needs of modern application development. Here are key benefits of such a migration:
- Web-Based Architecture: Oracle APEX is a web-based platform, allowing users to access applications through a web browser. This provides greater flexibility in terms of accessibility, enabling users to interact with applications from various devices without the need for client-side installations. It aligns with the trend towards web and cloud-based solutions.
- Responsive Design: APEX applications are designed to be responsive, adapting to different screen sizes and devices. This ensures a consistent and user-friendly experience across desktops, tablets, and smartphones, which is especially important in today’s mobile-centric world.
- Low-Code Development: A significant advantage of APEX is its low-code development environment. Developers can build robust applications with minimal hand-coding, utilizing a visual interface and pre-built components. This accelerates the development process, reduces the need for extensive coding expertise, and allows for quicker adaptation to changing business requirements.
- Integration with Oracle Ecosystem: APEX seamlessly integrates with other Oracle technologies and services, including Oracle Database, Oracle Cloud, and Oracle REST Data Services. This facilitates smooth data integration and connectivity, leveraging existing investments in Oracle infrastructure.
- Cost Efficiency: Oracle APEX is included with the Oracle Database license, meaning there are no additional licensing costs for using APEX. This can result in cost savings compared to maintaining Oracle Forms licenses separately. Additionally, the streamlined development process can contribute to reduced development and maintenance costs.
- Modern User Interface: APEX offers modern and customizable user interface options. Developers can create visually appealing and intuitive interfaces using a range of built-in themes and templates. This contributes to improved user experience and acceptance of the applications.
- Scalability and Performance: APEX applications are designed to be scalable, handling increased data volumes and user loads. This scalability, coupled with performance optimizations, ensures that applications built on APEX can grow with the evolving needs of the business.
- Security Enhancements: APEX incorporates security features that adhere to industry standards. It provides robust authentication and authorization mechanisms, helping developers build secure applications and protect sensitive data.
