Nafa - Customer case study
The upgrade from Oracle Forms 6i to 11g using Renaps' ORMIT-Forms™ tools and methodology was a complete success; CRESKIN, our core IT application used throughout the organization in several countries for financials, inventory, cataloging, sales and shipping has been migrated to Oracle Forms 11g taking advantage of the added values provided by the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g platform

Executive Summary
RENAPS, the global leader in Oracle Forms modernization, helped North American Fur Auction (NAFA) convert their CRESKIN Oracle Forms application to the latest release: Oracle Forms 11g Release 2. NAFA has 600 Forms modules and 500 Reports that have been converted from Version 6i to 11g using ORMIT™ automated tools. In this conversion NAFA used RENAPS’ migration methodology and the ORMIT-Forms™ tool to automate the upgrade in half the time it would have taken to convert manually, completing the project on time and on budget.
The Business Drivers
Besides being on a supported Oracle platform, NAFA needed to have the facility to re-engineer thousands of items in the CRESKIN central application and that’s one of the many aspects covered by ORMIT-Forms™. Also, the Fusion Middleware 11g being the most flexible and agile enterprise software infrastructure was needed to help outperform competitors while reducing operational costs. Furthermore, Oracle WebLogic Server 11g took advantage of NAFA’s new and modern hardware to deliver superior results to end-users.
Upgrade Project
RENAPS’ ORMIT-Forms™ tool provided an easy-to-use, safe, and powerful alternative to the traditional manual upgrade approach. As NAFA’s business needs continuously generates changes throughout the CRESKIN application, RENAPS’ Oracle Forms migration tools and methodology ensured fast delivery of each project phase by performing thousands of automated tasks quickly and efficiently. ORMIT-Forms™ outperformed other Oracle Forms upgrade methods.
