*To dispel any potential security concerns, we’ve prepared an Oracle Forms XML Randomizer you can use to anonymize all the sensitive data before you send it to us. To use it, you have to convert your FMB files into XMLs, and then you feed these XMLs to the Randomizer we provide.
It’s important to note that while scrambling the data won’t affect the migration time estimates, it limits us to statistical evaluation – a full AI-driven analysis won’t be possible with such data.
No. The Assistant is a proprietary internal accelerator used exclusively by Pretius consultants to deliver migration services. We don't sell the tool as "off-the-shelf" software because we believe successful modernization requires a combination of AI-driven efficiency and senior-level human expertise. By using it as an internal engine, we can guarantee the quality of the final application.
Honestly? No, and you shouldn’t trust anyone who promises such things. Full 1:1 automation isn’t currently possible due to the differences between Forms and APEX. For example, some Forms Program Units contain Forms-specific PL/SQL with no exact APEX equivalents, and most APEX apps inherently look and function differently, requiring manual adjustment.
Our tool is semi-automated: it handles the mechanical, time-consuming tasks and pinpoints problem areas, accelerating the migration process.
Security is always our priority. If you want your data to remain fully anonymous, we can use our open-source Oracle Forms XML Randomizer to scramble it before analysis and estimation. The analysis might be less reliable (though we still promise good results), but you’ll have a guarantee that key/private information remains in your hands only.
We can analyze and migrate from virtually any version, including 6i, 10g, 11g, and 12c.
Absolutely not. We don't use proprietary libraries or "hidden" code. Once the migration is complete, any developer with standard APEX skills can maintain and develop the application. We also offer training for your in-house teams to ensure full independence.
Because you’ve already invested in Oracle DB and PL/SQL. Migrating to Java or .NET requires throwing away your existing business logic and starting from scratch. With APEX, we reuse your logic (moving it to the database layer), which makes the migration faster, cheaper, and significantly less risky. Plus, you likely already have the necessary database license, and APEX is included in that package – you can use it free of charge.
