What We Do

Oracle Forms is still running critical applications in organizations around the world. But what should Forms users be paying attention to as we head into 2027? 

Join Michael Ferrante, former Oracle Forms Senior Principal Product Manager at Oracle and now Forms-APEX Practice Director at Talan, for a discussion about the current state of Oracle Forms, what organizations need to consider moving forward, and the options available to them. 

With more than 25 years spent working on Oracle Forms at Oracle, Michael brings a unique perspective on the technology, its evolution, and the decisions organizations face today. 

During this session, we'll explore: 
  • What's happening with Oracle Forms, and what should users know heading into 2027? 

  • What should organizations consider if they plan to stay on Forms? 

  • When does it make sense to start thinking about migration and/or modernization?
