Maximize Your Oracle EBS with Modern Extensions

Many enterprises rely on Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) as their operational backbone, especially with Oracle extending Premier Support for EBS 12.2 through at least 2036. However, the digital world demands modern web interfaces, interactive dashboards, and mobile access, where traditional EBS forms can fall short.

Why Modernize to Oracle APEX?

Using APEX as an extension tool offers the best of both worlds robust EBS data
power and a flexible modern app platform. Oracle APEX runs within the Oracle Database and interfaces directly with EBS schemas, operating independently of EBS application code.

APEX extensions remain intact during EBS patches/upgrades if supported integration methods are used. Oracle has even provided enhancements to embed APEX apps within EBS 12.2's framework, allowing shared session info and launch from EBS menus.

Team Discussion

Common use cases for APEX extensions to EBS include

Custom Data Entry
Screens

We thoroughly scan your existing Forms and Reports modules, identifying forms, reports, PL/SQL units, and dependencies.

Interactive Reports &
Dashboards

Our Oracle APEX specialists redesign and rebuild your application in APEX, improving UI/UX, streamlining workflows, and eliminating old pain points.

Mobile
Applications

We migrate existing data to the new APEX application's schema, ensuring full data integrity and validation.

Portals and Self-
Service

We deploy the new APEX application either on-premise or on Oracle Cloud, often recommending OCI or Autonomous Database for scalability and easier maintenance.

Abacasys EBS-APEX Services

Abacasys brings extensive Oracle knowledge to harmonize your EBS and APEX
environments112. Our services include:


EBS-APEX Integration Architecture

We design optimal extension architecture—APEX on the same or separate DB as EBS—configure SSO, set up ORDS, and enforce EBS security context. Our approach follows Oracle best practices for full support.

Performance and Scalability

We optimize APEX extensions for large EBS databases through SQL tuning, efficient API use, and data volume planning. APEX scales for enterprise use and, running in-database, often delivers faster reports than external tools.

Custom Extension Development

Our Oracle-certified EBS experts and APEX developers build custom functionality where EBS falls short. We use EBS public APIs to ensure safe data updates, develop quickly with APEX low-code tools, and rigorously test for full compatibility with EBS processes.

Maintenance and Support

Abacasys provides continuous support for your APEX extensions alongside EBS. We assist with EBS patch/update reviews and testing for compatibility. We act as your long-term partners for maximizing EBS without costly overhauls.

Why Abacasys for EBS
Extensions?


Domain Expertise: Abacasys's team includes Oracle EBS veterans and APEX lowcode experts. This crucial combination means we understand EBS tables, workflows, and APIs, ensuring robust and maintainable system extensions. We avoid bypassing EBS logic or creating data inconsistency, ensuring sound extensions.

Rapid Results, Low Risk: Using APEX, we deliver EBS extensions much faster than traditional Oracle tools or Java. This means quick wins and lower cost. Low-code APEX makes changes easier, allowing adaptation as needs evolve. We mitigate risk using Oracle-supported integration methods and thorough testing with actual EBS data.

Real-world Success: Abacasys has helped clients enrich EBS via APEX. For example, we built an APEX application for a public sector client for online permit submissions that fed directly into EBS, reducing manual entry. For a retail company, we delivered APEX interactive reports for ad-hoc inventory queries, providing answers in seconds.

By choosing Abacasys, your Oracle EBS investment continues to yield returns in today's digital age. We help you avoid costly full
migrations by bridging the gap with APEX, providing modern capabilities while retaining EBS stability. When eventually moving to
Oracle Fusion, improvements made through these extensions ease the future transition.
