Forms to APEX
Migrate Oracle Forms applications to Oracle APEX — keeping the business logic that matters while shedding the desktop runtime and its upkeep.

Castrovala is an independent, principal-led practice that moves Oracle systems forward — Forms to APEX, Oracle to PostgreSQL, on-premise to cloud — and builds new ones on the same modern stack. Three decades of hands-on delivery behind every engagement.

What we do
Transformation, not maintenance.
The work that moves the needle changes what a system is — not the work that keeps yesterday's running. These are the engagements we take on.
Oracle to PostgreSQL
Move schemas, stored logic and data off Oracle licensing onto PostgreSQL, along a path that de-risks each step rather than betting the estate on one cut-over.

On-premise to cloud
Lift and reshape Oracle estates for AWS, Oracle Cloud and Azure — sized for the workload, secured for the data, and built to run in production.

Engineering
Build new, or build the replacement.
Not all of it is migration. Plenty of the work is greenfield — a brand-new application, a fresh PostgreSQL database, a clean front-end with no legacy behind it. And where there is a legacy system, Castrovala builds what replaces it. Either way the stack is current and the result is built to last.
APEX application development
New browser-native applications on Oracle APEX — fast to deliver and low to maintain, whether you are starting fresh or retiring Oracle Forms.
PostgreSQL & data design
Greenfield databases modelled properly from day one, or existing schemas reshaped — with ORDS and clean REST APIs over Oracle and PostgreSQL alike.
Cross-platform front-ends
Flutter and native clients from one codebase across desktop, web and mobile — including on-device camera scanning, OCR and live lookups against third-party APIs when a job needs more than forms.
The company
Independent
since 1995.
Independent since 1995 and trading as Castrovala Ltd from 1998, the practice has delivered Oracle work across defence, finance, legal, health, utilities, engineering, manufacturing and SaaS — through every shift from on-premise estates to the cloud.
The model is principal-led: you deal directly with the senior specialist who scopes your work and stays accountable for it. And when an assignment is bigger than one pair of hands, Castrovala assembles a trusted network of associate consultants — so the same standard scales to a full team without ever becoming a body shop.
