Database Versions

We have worked with the following Oracle database versions:

1. 7.3.4
2. 8.1.7i

The advent of Oracle 8i has brought with it some significant advances in technology such as embedded Java and native dynamic SQL which allow much more flexibility in the design and development of bespoke solutions.

We have experience of applying these new technologies as part of the Oracle Financials upgrade of a large UK based energy company. This involved the migration of several single organisation instances of Oracle Financials 10.7 character and smart client on a 7.3.4 database to a single multi-organisation instance of Oracle Financials 11i on an 8i database. This upgrade allowed us to apply the advances in Oracle technology to improve system performance.

We are currently researching the new 9i version which has been improved to support today's internet enabled business models.

Reports/Forms

We have significant experience of the Oracle Developer tools including Reports 2.5, Reports 6i, Forms 4.5, Forms 6i, and designer. These tools have been used to develop bespoke reporting, interface and applications solutions to meet the needs of various businesses operating in very diverse sectors from the public services to high tech telecommunications companies.

We have used these tools develop bespoke reports and forms in order to meet the specific needs of our clients.

We have also used these tools to modify existing standard Oracle Financials reports and forms in order to ensure congruence between our clients business model and the capabilities of the software.

Technical

Our consultants also have experience of developing interface routines for importing data from various sources, including legacy systems and other Oracle databases, into Oracle's open interface tables.

In order to achieve this we have designed solutions incorporating SQL*Plus, SQL*Loader scripts, PL/SQL triggers functions and procedures, UNIX shell scripting and Java procedures.

In addition we have provided other solutions through the development of bespoke Visual Basic applications.
