This is why building extensions in EBS is an excellent way to ensure your business remains secure yet flexible. E-Business Suite extensions offer far better mechanisms for interfacing with EBS, controlling your data, improving your business processes, and growing with your EBS system. Modern, web-based E-Business Suite extensions, in particular, can offer a superior user experience (UX).
Oracle provides the ideal web-based development tool to build such extensions. It’s called Oracle Application Express (APEX). Residing on your database and already covered under your database license, it enables Rapid Application Development with no limit on developer or end-user seats. Oracle, in fact, recommends and supports using APEX to build EBS extensions, as described in detail in Oracle’s White Paper on the subject by Product Manager David Peak.
While Oracle APEX is a Low-Code technology platform that allows you to quickly build opportunistic extensions, it is also designed for data-heavy applications. Experienced APEX developers such as ours can use it to roll out robust enterprise-wide solutions. It’s also important to note that EBS patches and upgrades do not impact APEX as it runs decoupled from EBS in your database.
