COST EFFECTIVE AND FAST ORACLE FORMS MIGRATION
We offer a comprehensive Oracle forms and application migration service
for our clients which can help significantly reduce the cost of
conversion.
We can take an application, quickly migrate it to the newer versions of the Oracle tools, and return it ready for testing. It will be complete with all the necessary documentation and tools for your staff to continue to maintain the new application.
Methodsoft's migration service supports migration to client/server, thin-client and 10g/11g web based Oracle Forms environments. In fact we cover all of the versions you might want to migrate to.
FORMS*Facelift
The Forms*Facelift service can take any Forms application from any version of Forms and convert it to look superb in any newer version.
GUI/Web Mode Migration
If you have a GUI application in forms 4.5, 5 or 6i that is lacking
that sparkle or lustre that makes an application both look good and
operate just as it should, Forms*Facelist can add colour, texture and
operability to your application. It can add softprompts and
multi-lingual capabilities too. Click

Character Mode Migration
If you are running character mode forms of any version (3.0 though to
6.0), high speed and cost effective migration is achieved using
automated tools. The tools provides many GUI facilities automatically,
producing an attractive colourful Windows or Web style Forms
application. The key aspect to a GUI migration is getting the mouse
navigation to work correctly. This can be very difficult to achieve in
a manual migration, but the automated tools solve all of the problems.
The end result is an attractive GUI or Web application.
Facelift provides a migration service for the other legacy components that comprise your application : Examples of these are SQL*Menu 5.0, Reportwriter 1.1, and reports written in RPT, Reports 2.5, or 3.0. Most applications needing migration also have a reporting element. It is important to bring the whole system up to scratch and thus provide a complete service.
Provide a migration service for your database: Moving between Oracle versions is often quite straightforward. However, at times there can be complications. Tuning, backup & recovery, and proactive DBA activities can all prove challenging. Help from the experts can make it easy again.

CAPABILITIES
Methodsoft migration staff are skilled at using both the Forms migration tools and the Oracle Developer tools so you achieve a quality result in the minimum time.
We have very reasonable consultancy rates so it is often much more cost effective for Methodsoft to perform the complete task, than for a company to use the migration tool themselves.
The methodology we use is based on a stage, tasks and
deliverables model. The migration is split into 4 stages, Planning,
Preparation, Conversion and Testing. Each stage is broken down into a
number of tasks. At the end of each stage there are predefined
deliverables to be produced and signed off. This guarantees that the
stage has been fully and correctly completed before work is commenced
on the next one.
