Software modernization.
Our way.

We strongly believe in modernizing legacy software - but who should be doing the modernizing?

Oracle® says you should modernize your Forms / Reports / PL/SQL® applications to alternative technologies like ADF Faces and SOA. But what if you don't want all the expense and hassle?

And what if there's nothing wrong with your applications? Because the real problem is that the Oracle software you use to develop and deploy your applications has failed to keep up with the times?

We say: "It's not your applications that need modernization - but the software platform they run on."

To be fair, Oracle has tried. But the software that drives its Forms / Reports / PL/SQL products is written in poorly documented 'write-only' C++ - making their systems near-impossible to maintain or extend.

That's why we at Quintessence have completely rewritten Oracle's original Forms, Reports and PL/SQL software in 100% JEE6 Enterprise Java.

So now you can run your Forms / Reports applications (versions 4.5 to 11g) over the Internet: rendering to your browser or mobile device in pure HTML and JavaScript. And with your new deployment accurately reproducing the original appearance and functionality - except the bugs.

At the heart of our YoServer suite is YoForms, a runtime for your Forms / PL/SQL applications that renders to your browser or mobile device. Complementing it are YoReports, which allows you to integrate your original reports into your Forms application, and YoDeveloper, a powerful development environment for your Forms / Reports applications with hugely improved de-bugging.

Quintessence Systems

Founded in 1998, Quintessence Systems Ltd is based in Oxford, England.

Our mission is to modernize the Forms / Reports / PL/SQL software platform - giving new life to your trusted applications.

To do this we are harnessing the power of our established in2j technology - developed, tested, and perfected over the last 12 years, which replicates the entire runtime for Forms, Reports and PL/SQL in Java.

We originated as a specialist in automated software migration, perceiving Oracle's commitment to Java as a major opportunity to migrate entire Oracle applications to the Java language.

But in 2010 we realised that most users would prefer to keep their original systems running - but on a modernized software platform.

That's why we moved our focus to deployment with our YoServer product suite - a complete new software environment to run, maintain, extend and originate Forms / Reports / PL/SQL applications.

Now in 2011 we are completing the software development process and preparing to bring our products to market.
