What makes a successful Migration
Staged Migration – via the Forms-ADF Hybrid Solution
“A staged (that is, phased) migration
effort enables Oracle Forms applications
to be migrated over time. This lengthens
the period during which Oracle Forms
remains an architectural element,
but reduces the overall migration risk
during that time period.”

Gartner - 2011
Migrate at your own pace based on the available skills and project priorities.”
