Oracle Forms and Reports Applications

Post by sam »

De-supported Oracle Forms and Reports Applications Puts Your Organization at Risk (Upgrade, Migrate or Evolve -  determine the direction for your Oracle Forms and Reports Applications)
Martin Disterheft, PITSS America LLC

What version of Oracle Forms and Reports are you running your custom applications on?  If your answer is not 10g Release 2 or 11g, then you are running on an unsupported technology stack.  This means that you are not getting support from Oracle on your software, but even worse you are not getting security patches applied to your environment.  This could mean you could be in violation of company or government mandates. Part of your decision to get back on a supported platform may be to determine the direction for your Oracle Forms and Reports Applications. Besides upgrading to the most recent version of Oracle Forms and Reports you may consider migrating to ADF, APEX, or a SOA Enabled application. PITSS deploys its innovative PITSS.CON software to help its customers analyze, upgrade, migrate, and maintain their Oracle Forms and Reports applications.

Martin Disterheft brings nearly 2 decades of information technology and global leadership to his role as President, PITSS America.  Drawn to PITSS’ dynamic, entrepreneurial environment and its reputation as a leader in Oracle Technology related solutions, Martin spearheads PITSS’ expansion to North America and is responsible for the strategic direction for the Americas’ division.  He is committed to increasing awareness among US based companies that PITSS’ superior Oracle Forms solutions significantly improves the ROI of both past and present investments in Oracle development technologies.  Previously to PITSS America, Martin worked for Robert Bosch  Corporation for almost ten years as Project Manager/Director for Engineering Services and provided leadership as Project Manager for global IT projects with fiscal budget responsibility up to $20 million. He holds a bachelors degree in management information systems.

With over 30 years’ experience in the IT industry, Andy has held many roles in software development, systems analysis, application design, and project management.  Paramount Computing Associates (PCA) is a software consulting firm providing business applications development services focusing on Oracle and java web technologies.  As a partner in PCA, Andy has managed several application development efforts and managed the production support activities associated with several of these.
