Oracle Apex Development

Oracle Application Express

Build powerful applications in weeks, not months

Oracle Application Express (Apex) is a low-code development platform that allows organisations to build sophisticated, database-centric applications quickly and cost-effectively. If you have Oracle Database licences, you already have Apex - it's included at no additional cost.

At Behan, we specialise in using Apex to create custom applications that solve real business problems. Whether you need a research management system, workflow automation, or custom reporting interfaces, we can deliver professional solutions in a fraction of the time traditional development would take.

Why Oracle Apex?

Apex applications can be developed 5-10 times faster than traditional coding approaches. What might take months with conventional development can be delivered in weeks with Apex. This means you can respond quickly to business needs and see ROI sooner.

What can we build?

Apex is incredibly versatile. We've used it to create:

Track research projects, ethics applications, publications, and impact. Support REF and research office requirements with custom workflows and reporting.

Our Apex Development Process

1. Discovery & Requirements

1. Discovery & Requirements

We start by understanding your business need. What problem are you trying to solve? Who will use the application? What data needs to be captured or displayed? What are the key workflows? We work with you to define clear requirements before any development begins.


2. Design & Prototyping

2. Design & Prototyping

We create wireframes and prototypes to show you what the application will look like and how it will work. This collaborative approach means we can refine the design before investing significant development effort. Getting the user experience right early saves time and delivers better results.


3. Development

3. Development

We build your application using Apex best practices. Our code is clean, commented, and structured for maintainability. We build in stages, often delivering a minimum viable product (MVP) quickly so you can start seeing value, then adding features iteratively based on feedback.


4. Testing & Refinement

4. Testing & Refinement

We thoroughly test functionality across different browsers and devices. We work with your team to conduct user acceptance testing, gathering feedback and making refinements until everything works exactly as it should.


5. Deployment & Training

5. Deployment & Training

We handle deployment to your production environment and provide comprehensive training for both end users and administrators. We create documentation so your team has clear guidance on how to use and maintain the application.


6. Support & Enhancement

6. Support & Enhancement

After go-live, we're here to support you. Whether you need help with issues, want to add new features, or need assistance as your team takes over maintenance, we provide flexible ongoing support tailored to your needs

Why choose Behan for Apex Development?

Real Apex Expertise

Apex is our specialism. We've built dozens of applications across multiple sectors. We know how to design for performance, build for maintainability, and create user experiences that people actually enjoy using.

Understanding Context

We don't just code - we understand the business problems you're trying to solve. Our sector experience means we can suggest approaches and features you might not have considered, drawing on what's worked well for similar organisations.

Collaborative Approach

We involve you throughout the development process. You're not waiting months to see what we've built - we show you progress regularly, gather feedback, and adjust accordingly. This iterative approach delivers better results.

Knowledge Transfer

We don't want you to be dependent on us. We document our work clearly, provide training, and build applications that your team can understand and maintain. Many of our clients manage their own Apex applications successfully after our initial development.

Every project starts with a plan.

Let's talk.
