ORMIT™-OpenJava

Pros: We migrated a long-standing Oracle Forms + Reports application with a significant amount of PL/SQL logic, triggers, and custom workflows. ORMIT-OpenJava was the first tool we tried that didn’t just convert screens but actually extracted and translated the business logic in a meaningful way.
The generated React UI and Java service layer were surprisingly clean and understandable. Our own dev team was able to work with the output right away, without feeling like they were stuck with something machine-generated or opaque. That was the biggest win for us.
We didn’t try to do a big-bang cutover. We ran Forms and the new React modules side-by-side for several months, and that made the transition smooth for users and the business. For the logic translation itself, I’d say at least 80% of our PL/SQL and trigger behavior came across automatically, leaving us focused mostly on UI polish and edge-cases, rather than rebuilding the system from scratch.
The process still requires involvement and testing, of course, but compared to a rewrite, the effort reduction was massive. RENAPS’ team was also responsive and helpful in explaining conversion reports and dealing with tricky cases.
If your Forms environment is small and simple, you may not need a tool like this. But if you have a mature production system with years of embedded logic, ORMIT-OpenJava can make modernization realistic instead of overwhelming.

Cons: • Some complex, custom logic still requires manual adjustments
• The initial setup and analysis step takes care, but it pays off later

Overall: • High level of business logic recognition and conversion
• Code output is readable and maintainable
• Phased rollout approach lowers risk

Pros: High automation rate (90%)
Keeps existing business logic intact
No vendor lock-in — fully open Java/React code
Fast and accurate pre-migration analysis
Modern, cloud-ready application output

Cons: Requires developer skills (Java/JS) post-migration
Only RENAPS can operate the transformation engine

Overall: RENAPS' ORMIT™-OpenJava exceeded all our expectations. We had a complex Oracle Forms application critical to our operations, and RENAPS was able to modernize it into a fully web-based, maintainable solution without disrupting our business continuity.

Their automated migration engine preserved over 95% of our business logic, significantly accelerating the transformation process. We were especially impressed by the ORMIT™-Analyzer, which provided a detailed X-ray of our legacy system and helped us plan the project with confidence.

Thanks to ORMIT™, we now run a modern Java-based stack, free from Oracle Forms lock-in. The new application is responsive, cloud-ready, and far easier to evolve. RENAPS’ team brought exceptional technical expertise and a collaborative approach that made the entire experience smooth and efficient.

We highly recommend ORMIT™ for any organization looking to de-risk and modernize their Oracle Forms environment.
