Managing the Army's Enterprise Real Property Planning with Oracle APEX

By Bharat Pappu

Uploaded on 29-JUL-08
The Armys real property planning system supports thousands of users worldwide. The application is a critical component of the Armys mission in managing its buildings, utilities, and land resources. It is used every day to support planning, budgetary, and spending decisions involving a real property portfolio with a replacement value of $263 billion. When the time for the move from client-server to Web came, VISTA evaluated different technologies and selected APEX based on its out-of-the-box capabilities consisting of solid UI code, complete support for all of Oracles performance capabilities, security, scalability, and hooks into maintainable table-driven business logic. VISTA was particularly impressed with the speed that an interface could be assembled with APEX, it's flexibility to integrate technologies (like AJAX and dynamic HTML and third-party tools), and its rapid response ability to support functional design changes. VISTA re-engineered and is rebuilding the application in record time. The new system prototype is in place and growing in world-wide use. Full deployment will be completed by December 2008. This presentation will outline the process that VISTA undertook in both selecting APEX and building the actual solution which took months, not years as the Army had anticipated.
