2 June 2008 - Griffiths Waite releases White Paper on "Oracle Forms to SOA: A Case Study in Modernisation" - the White Paper is also available from the Oracle website. Griffiths Waite have been involved in this area for a number of years and this paper presents a case study of a core business application built using Oracle Forms and its evolution from client/server, to the web and to a services based architecture.

Also we've added two new events for 2008 - SOA/BI for Higher Education and Enterprise Architecture Master Class - please see below for further details.
ORACLE FORMS TO SOA: A CASE STUDY IN MODERNISATION

Recent analyst reports and Oracle's own "Forms modernization" drive are encouraging customers to look closely at their technology investment to understand how it can be modernised and take advantage of changes in both business and I.T.

The key messages of this modernisation approach are clear:

Retain Investment
With continued support and investment in the technologies of your legacy applications, you have the ability to modernise from a platform of stability.

Adopt Technologies
SOA allows you to realise new practices and technologies and to do so in a step-by-step basis.

Integrate
Both your legacy and new systems can integrate and share services allowing legacy applications to continue to run your business as you build up new systems and services.
