Managed Applications, Extended Workbench
WellDev modernized an outdated ERP system for Austria’s leading e-commerce giant, Otto Austria Group (former UNITO), using Oracle Apex technology. Our comprehensive approach focused on enhancing system efficiency and user experience, ensuring that the platform meets the evolving needs of the business. WellDev provided a combination of Managed Applications and Extended Workbench services to resolve the challenges that the client was facing.
As Otto Austria Group (formerly UNITO) sought to solidify its position in the competitive landscape of project management solutions, they faced several challenges.
Their internal processes were being managed using outdated technology, specifically Oracle Forms, which presented significant limitations. The system’s usability was not aligned with modern UI/UX standards, and support for older versions had been discontinued. They wanted to retain the existing functionalities of their current application while migrating to a newer technology, Oracle APEX, with enhanced extensions.
However, they lacked the necessary expertise and resources to execute the end-to-end technology shift and needed a reliable software development partner to handle the transition.
