Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) is a comprehensive suite of business applications that streamlines operations and enhances efficiency for organisations of all sizes. However, every business is unique, and specific requirements may go beyond the standard functionality offered by Oracle EBS. This is where DSP's Oracle E-Business Suite Extensions come into play, providing businesses with the unparalleled flexibility to tailor and amplify their EBS environment to perfectly align with their specific needs.

This blog discusses using Oracle Application Express (APEX) to customise and extend Oracle EBS for a tailored solution aligned with business processes.

 

Understanding Oracle E-Business Suite Extensions

Oracle E-Business Suite Extensions are customisations that allow organisations to extend the capabilities of their Oracle EBS system beyond the out-of-the-box features. These extensions are built using various tools and technologies, but one of the most popular and influential options is Oracle APEX.

Oracle APEX is a low-code development platform that empowers users to design, develop, and deploy web-based applications quickly and efficiently. With its user-friendly interface and extensive pre-built components, APEX enables businesses to create tailored solutions without complex coding.
