Oracle Forms & Reports · As-Is assessment
Modernization
to Oracle APEX.
Modernize with a plan. Preserve what makes your business unique.
Before transforming your applications, understand their business logic, dependencies, risks and criticality. Our assessment defines a roadmap and a contextual modernization estimate to help you decide the next step.

01 / The starting point
You know you need to move forward.
Do you know where to start?
When an application supports critical processes, modernization requires understanding more than its screens. These signs suggest starting with an assessment.
A change affects more than expected.
There is no clear view of dependencies between Forms, Reports, PL/SQL and integrations.
There is an initiative, but no reliable estimate.
You need to justify budget and scope without treating every object as identical.
The business needs to evolve while maintaining continuity.
You need to prioritize modules, anticipate risks and define a phased transition.
02 / What we analyze
From objects
to business context.
The assessment combines technical review and conversations with your team to build an As-Is view of the agreed scope.
Inventory and current architecture
Forms, Reports, shared components, databases and integration points. We identify what exists and how it relates.
Logic and dependencies
Business rules in forms and PL/SQL, functional flows and interactions that modernization must consider.
Complexity and criticality
Classification of objects and processes by technical effort, operational relevance and identified risks.
The path to Oracle APEX
Criteria for reusing logic, redesigning interfaces and addressing reports and integrations according to each component's needs.
Phased prioritization
A proposed modernization sequence considering business value, dependencies and delivery capacity.
Estimation with context
Effort ranges by scope or phase, with assumptions, exclusions and factors that may change the estimate.
The question goes beyond how many objects you have.
It is what they do, what they depend on and what your business needs to preserve.
03 / What you receive
A foundation for decisions.
A roadmap for delivery.
Deliverables that connect technical detail with investment decisions and your organization's priorities.
- 01As-Is diagnosis
Inventory of the assessed scope and a view of the current state.
- 02Dependency map
Identified relationships between components, data and integrations.
- 03Complexity, criticality and risk matrix
Prioritization criteria and points requiring validation.
- 04APEX modernization roadmap
Phases, recommended sequence and transition considerations.
- 05Estimate and executive presentation
Effort ranges, assumptions and recommendations to agree on the next step.
04 / How we work
First, we understand.
Then, we map the way forward.
Objectives and scope
We agree on applications, processes, stakeholders and available material. We define the depth of analysis.
As-Is discovery
We review source code and documentation, and validate findings with technical and business teams.
Risks and priorities
We classify components and dependencies, identify logic to preserve and highlight pending decisions.
Roadmap and estimate
We present the proposed roadmap, assumptions and recommended phases to decide how to move forward.
Support the investment
Connect budget and priorities to an analyzed scope.
Anticipate critical issues
Make risks and dependencies visible before delivery.
Align IT and business
Build a shared view of what to preserve, change and prioritize.
06 / Frequently asked questions
Before taking
the next step.
Does the assessment include migration to Oracle APEX?
No. The assessment analyzes the current state and proposes a modernization roadmap. Development, testing and production deployment are agreed as a separate scope.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
It depends on volume, complexity, available documentation and depth of analysis. During the initial meeting, we review your context to prepare a proposal covering scope, timeline and price.
What information do we need to start?
An overview of applications, versions and processes, plus any available inventory or source code. We agree with your team on the access, documentation and stakeholders required for analysis.
What if our documentation is not up to date?
As-Is discovery helps identify and document components and dependencies within the agreed scope. Availability of source code and business experts affects depth and timing.
How do you address existing business logic?
We identify where it lives, its dependencies and what can be reused or requires adaptation. Preservation must be validated with functional scenarios and tests during modernization.
Do you need to change production systems?
Access and environments are defined with your team. We prioritize source code, documentation and agreed environments; any additional intervention requires a specific scope.
Do we have to modernize everything at once?
Not necessarily. The roadmap proposes a sequence based on criticality, dependencies and business value, and identifies considerations for a phased transition.
Does the assessment commit us to hiring you for modernization?
Assessment and implementation are separate scopes. The commercial proposal specifies the evaluation's terms and deliverables.
