Key Benefits of Extending Oracle EBS Using Oracle APEX

We present an overview of six main benefits that make APEX an attractive choice for companies looking to get more out of Oracle EBS – quickly, securely, and at lower costs.

In the previous post about using APEX to extend Oracle EBS (E-Business Suite), we discussed how Oracle APEX expands the functionality of Oracle EBS. Today, we will continue by outlining the benefits that APEX brings when extending the capabilities of Oracle EBS.

We have listed 6 advantages:

  1. Faster Time to Market – APEX is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) platform that enables creating custom applications in days, not weeks or months.
  2. Lower Costs – The development and maintenance of a ready-made solution is shared among multiple clients, making it more cost-effective than building a solution from scratch. APEX itself requires no additional licensing fees if you already have an Oracle database.
  3. Seamless Integration – APEX provides smooth integration with Oracle E-Business Suite so users hardly notice the difference. APEX applications can share session context and be launched directly from the EBS navigation menu.
  4. Simple Architecture and Flexible EBS Version Support – APEX works with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i, R12.0, R12.1.3, or R12.2.x without compatibility issues. It is lightweight, DBA-friendly, and does not interfere with cloning or infrastructure requirements.
  5. Greater Insights – By integrating EBS and APEX, organizations gain a more comprehensive view of their business processes and data. This allows tracking key performance indicators, monitoring processes, and identifying areas for improvement using real-time data.
  6. Scalability and Security – APEX runs directly inside the database, enabling it to scale alongside it. Applications built with APEX are enterprise-ready from the start, just like your EBS instance, and leverage Oracle database security features. APEX provides an enhanced declarative framework to minimize security vulnerabilities, including extensive testing against cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.

Every implementation is unique – and these differences often hide both challenges and opportunities. If you are considering integrating APEX into your Oracle EBS environment, we are happy to review your specific scenarios with you, recommend the best approach, and assist with design and implementation.
