挑战
The client was using an Order Management System built using Oracle Forms and Reports. The System was developed and continuously enhanced for the last 20 years. While it met the functional requirements, it was difficult to use and required specialized skills to maintain. The System also could not keep up with modern day requirements around mobile workforce support, rapid changes as per business needs, and low cost of maintenance. The existing technology was outdated as well. Thus, the business was looking to invest in future proofing the technology. However, the existing application had business assets that spanned two decades. These assets were important and needed to be reused in the new platform. This included business logic and application.

解决方案
With WaveMaker, the client was able to modernize their existing forms and report application. The new application built addressed the existing challenges and helped deliver a future proof architecture that would allow the client to scale and meet business demand for the next decade. WaveMaker helped create good looking UI and enhanced usability of the application. The application supported multiple form factors including desktop, mobile, and tablet interfaces due to its responsive design. Additionally, the pages were created with high density of information architecture, as dictated by the end users of the application. Using WaveMaker Themes, the look and feel of the UI was customized as per corporate standards. Using WaveMaker’s WYSIWYG interface, the entire application -- including UI and its integration -- was developed using visual drag and drop. As a result, the overall effort to develop the UI got drastically reduced and simplified. This, in turn, reduced the time to market. Using WaveMaker, all existing database logic and data were reused and integrated with the new application without any complexity. This resulted in seamless reuse and faster development.
