Talan Welcomes Michael Ferrante, The Oracle of Forms, to Lead the Next Chapter in Modernization
After more than two decades at Oracle, Michael Ferrante, the longtime Oracle Forms Product Manager, has joined Talan, the Oracle Technologies division.
For over 20 years, Michael has been a driving force behind one of Oracle’s most trusted and enduring technologies.

A Legacy of Innovation
Since joining Oracle in 1999, Michael has supported generations of Oracle developers and IT leaders. His knowledge of Oracle Forms, coupled with his understanding of where enterprise development is heading, makes his transition to Talan both exciting and symbolic.
“Modernization isn’t about replacing Forms it’s about evolving it,” says Michael. “I’ve spent my career helping customers adapt and extend their Oracle applications. Joining Talan means I can continue that mission alongside a team that’s deeply connected to the Oracle community and leading the next wave of modernization with APEX and Oracle Cloud.”
A Strategic Move Toward the Future
At Talan, our mission has always been to help organizations modernize legacy systems while protecting their investments in Oracle. With Oracle APEX, we’ve built modern, scalable solutions that retain the power of Forms but deliver the agility and user experience today’s enterprises expect.
“Michael’s move to Talan is a clear signal that the Oracle Forms era is entering its final stage.
For years, organizations have asked what comes next — and the answer is Oracle APEX. It’s the natural evolution of Oracle Forms, providing a modern, low-code framework that keeps their applications relevant, efficient, and secure.
With Michael joining our team, we’ve combined decades of modernization experience with the deepest possible Forms expertise. There’s no stronger team to guide that transition.”
Looking Ahead at APEX and behind at Forms
Michael’s arrival marks a new chapter for our Oracle Technologies practice and for every organization ready to take the next step in its modernization journey.
With his unmatched insight into Oracle Forms and our team’s deep expertise in APEX and Oracle Cloud, Talan is uniquely positioned to guide enterprises through transformation without disruption.
This partnership brings together the history of Oracle development and the innovation driving its future — helping our clients modernize with confidence and continue building on the foundations that made them strong.
