What You'll Learn

September 9 at 10:00 am ET
  • What it really means to support an Oracle environment 
    Supporting Oracle isn't just responding when something breaks. We'll discuss the difference between reactive support and the proactive maintenance that keeps systems running smoothly.
  • Why the infrastructure and application layers are equally important 
    Whether your role has you responsible for the database tier, the application tier running Oracle Forms, or the applications running in these environments, we'll explore why patching cadence, security posture, and upgrading requires ongoing attention.
  • How proactive maintenance reduces risk 
    Learn practical approaches to preventing outages, improving stability, and extending the life of your Oracle environment through planned maintenance rather than emergency response.

About this session

Most Oracle environments don't fail overnight. Risk builds over time as operating systems evolve, security requirements change, infrastructure is updated, and routine maintenance gets delayed because everything appears to be working. In this session, Michael Ferrante and Fekrat El Wehedi will share practical approaches to proactively supporting Oracle environments from infrastructure and Oracle Forms Middleware to application services and disaster recovery. You'll gain a clearer understanding of what should be happening behind the scenes to keep business-critical systems stable, secure, and prepared for change. Whether you're responsible for Oracle Forms, Oracle APEX, Oracle Database, or the infrastructure supporting them, you'll leave with practical ideas you can apply to your own environment.
