Director of the Forms to APEX Practice
Oracle Forms has been the backbone of enterprise applications for decades — reliable, powerful, and battle-tested. But technology moves fast.
Forms Modernization Week celebrates this legacy while looking ahead to what’s next: Oracle APEX — the modern, low-code platform that lets you evolve your Forms applications without starting over.
Throughout the week, we’ll highlight how organizations can move confidently from legacy systems to modern solutions using APEX and Oracle Cloud — with insights, tips, and perspectives from experts who’ve been there every step of the way.
