About imining

forms follows function

Our guiding principle for the maintenance of Oracle Forms-based applications and migrations to WEB or .Net platforms. This principle, modified from the fields of design and architecture, explains the need to modernize living Oracle Forms applications and integrate them into the challenge of new technologies. As the specialist for Oracle Forms, imining supports the continual adjustment process of critical applications with its core expertise and powerful tools jform and devcontrol.

We offer a complete service for the modernization of Oracle® Forms-based applications and pave the way for the successful implementation of SOA. Methods proven in practice and detailed analyses provide security and protection for your investment.

imining stands for:

  • the migration and development of jform and devcontrol
  • application modernization and upgrade services 
  • platform transformation WEB/.NET

Our range is primarily directed at industrial companies and public institutions which run Oracle® Forms applications. Modernization is at the forefront of this, on the one hand, for implementation in WEB and integration in service-oriented architectures (SOA), on the other for a complete realignment on a modern platform.

We have supervised critical applications from major companies since 2001. The core competencies of our experts have therefore been continually enhanced. Moreover, our methodology has been refined to sustain the increasingly complex demands and desires of our clients.

With the help of our expert tools jform and devcontrol, savings of up to 80 percent are possible in comparison to manual processing: jform automates the migration of Forms 3.0, 4.5, 5.0, 6i and 9i to 10g. The dynamic scripting language permits the upgrade of individual routines and ensures a high level of convenience and flexibility in the application upgrade.

Of course, resizing and multilingualism also form part of the standard range of functions. devcontrol further provides effective and efficient organization of the complete development process.  The Direct Application Impact and the integrated Versions Control are primary components in this process.

As an option for direct transfer to an object-oriented platform, we provide  Forms2Net Converter, an efficient process for migrating to Microsoft .Net. The Forms2Net Converter guarantees swift, controlled transfer to .Net. The application can be transformed into .Net with a level of automatization of up to 90%. 100% .Net Code is generated which can be further processed with C# or VB. There is then nothing standing in the way of creating an imaginative, functional and ergonomic interface which offers the user the highest possible levels of convenience. An important aspect of this process is the fact that the logic can be transferred completely, which is significantly faster than a complete redevelopment.    

We offer modernization and upgrade services at a fixed price. Our grounded consultancy services in combination with detailed application analyses supply a realistic assessment of the project situation. The Migrations Check, for example, provides valuable data for a concrete estimation of expenditure which serves as the basis for a calculation of costs. 

Further services offered include workshops lasting one or more days. Important problems are processed with jform and devcontrol on the application with which the client is already familiar. This enables the client to learn about the operation and possibilities for use of the tools at the same time. To reinforce knowledge of the functions, we offer comprehensive training programs and dedicated coaching to identify and remove problem areas.
