Oracle Forms and Reports continue to power some of the world’s most mission-critical enterprise systems. Yet for many organisations, aging infrastructure, complex upgrades, and rising operational costs are slowing innovation and increasing risk.
With Oracle Forms 14c (14.1.2) fully supported on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), enterprises now have a clear, low-risk path to modernize.
Why OCI Is the Right Home for Oracle Forms
- Using the Oracle WebLogic Suite UCM Marketplace Image, organizations can deploy a certified, production-ready Oracle stack that is license-inclusive, removing the need for complex BYOL licensing.
The Marketplace image Currently includes:
- Oracle Forms 14.1.2 (14c)
- Oracle WebLogic Server 14.1.2 (14c)
For the database tier, organisations can leverage a license-inclusive Oracle Database 19c instance, simplifying procurement and ensuring predictable costs.
This approach eliminates manual installations, reduces configuration errors, and accelerates time-to-value. Allowing IT teams to focus on business outcomes instead of infrastructure management.
The Business Benefits
1. Simplified Licensing
License-inclusive middleware and database options reduce compliance risk and operational overhead.
2. Enterprise-Grade Security
Built-in OCI security services, networking controls, and IAM capabilities protect critical workloads.
3. Oracle Support Alignment
Run on certified, fully supported Oracle versions to minimise risk and extend application lifespan.
4. Future-Ready Architecture
Establish a foundation for gradual modernisation, integration, and cloud-native services on your timeline.
