Oracle Forms underpins thousands of businesses across the US and globally and for professional data driven applications there are few to rival it; yet it still bears the mantle of legacy. But what if your Forms implemented business processes could be modernized to exploit mobile use cases and an ever mobile-enabled consumer base? And you could it be done in days using 100% of your Oracle Forms code without changing a single line of code. This is the biggest opportunity to ever present itself to the Forms install base and your chance to embrace risk free Forms modernization on mobile devices.

DEVELOPER TRACK: Data-Centric Security Key to Cloud and Digital Business
Paper: Data-Centric Security Key to Cloud and Digital Business Mar 17, 2016
The rapid rise of cloud databases, storage and applications has led to unease among adopters over the security of their data. Whether it is data stored in a public, private or hybrid cloud, or used in third party SaaS applications, companies have good reason to be concerned. The biggest challenge in this interconnected world is merging data security with data value and productivity. If we are to realize the benefits promised by these new ways of doing business, we urgently need a data-centric strategy to protect the sensitive data flowing through these digital business systems.
