  • Due to our limited IT resources (mostly because we are not IT company), easy, fast, and sustainable framework allows us to catch up with business improvement without hiring additional IT resources.
  • Prototyping done quickly and easily also improve our application quality. We are able to map business requirements to application more accurately, ensuring sustainability and less maintenance for go-live application. This also saves the need for huge IT resources.
  • Because we already use Oracle Database, and our existing IT members are all proficient in Oracle SQL and PL/SQL, there are only a few learning curves to adopt Oracle Application Express the first time.
  • Because it's too easy and quick, it has downside. We can have tendency to be lazy to adopt other modern and more flexible language.

  • We are building reports and forms for departments faster than before with Oracle Application Express and we are covering missing functionality or new functionality. We built massive load data functionality for the financial department.
  • We have reduced development time and the time to market of the applications.
  • We have built applications and reports to areas helping to get their goals.

  • I am currently using it myself, since some of the tasks and activities I perform daily were hard to follow up using my company tools. I did not perform an ROI analysis since I developed it in my free time just to simplify my daily work, but I'm really happy with the results I obtained in a few days of development.

  • Positive ROI in that it is a quick development tool. Cheaper development process.
  • It is a free tool so we do not incur extra costs and we solve quickly.
  • Positive ROI in that we own the tool as a consequence of using Oracle RDBMS.

  • There have been numerous cases where solution development using Oracle's "RAD Stack" (ORDS, RDBMS & APEX) has saved many ten's of thousands of dollars in cost that would have otherwise been incurred by following vendor recommendation and/or other alternatives.
  • Impact on overall business objectives has been completely positive: low cost of maintenance, seamless easy upgrades, reduced development time

  • Only positive. How about building your own application with your own specs in a matter of days for free instead of buying some software which you either have to pay for customization or get stuck with what you buy?
  • No need for outsourcing.
  • Runs on already existing infrastructure.

  • It has increased our development output over Forms greatly. For instance, when starting at my current company, I was able to replace our aging ASP Intranet site within 4 months when our IT manager had budgeted over a year for the task.
  • We've been able to standardize under one technology, incorporating previously unsupportable disparate systems under one roof.
  • It's free with an Oracle Database so the only investment was our time, something we now have more of thanks to Application Express.

  • The ROI has been only positive.
  • It is one very compact BI for free.
  • Employees who are responsible for various processes in an organization can follow the data in real-time and make decisions.
  • Physicians and nurses can analyze diseases, the use of drugs, LOS, waiting times for the ER, and other expenses.

  • As web applications can be built much faster (about 10x faster than using plain Java or JavaScript) we have way more value for the buck.
  • All Oracle developers are already familiar with SQL and PL/SQL, so switching to APEX was easy -- it's a very efficient learning curve.
  • The tool is available on Oracle free of charge. So there are no additional or hidden costs!

  • It's made it to where we can track our employees in a more efficient manner.
  • We are able to run reports to help with various metrics for our employees.
  • Implementing Oracle has allowed for an across the board efficiency with employee maintenance.
