Application extensions and low code
Extend Oracle where it adds value
Standard Oracle capability should remain the starting point, but it will not meet every operational, sector or user need. A genuine gap may call for a Fusion extension, portal, workflow application or replacement for a spreadsheet-led process.
Namos helps organisations decide whether to configure, integrate, extend or build. Our functional and technical specialists work together so the answer fits the Oracle roadmap, the wider solution and the way people work. Where an extension or separate application is justified, we select and combine the Oracle capabilities that best fit the requirement. That may include Oracle VBCS (Visual Builder Studio) for OCI, Oracle VBCS (Visual Builder Studio) for connected web applications, Oracle APEX development for data-centric solutions, supported APIs and integration for connected processes, or emerging AI capability where there is a clear and governed use case.
Find out how collaboration with customers is at the heart of how we create bespoke solutions when core Oracle isn’t enough.
Choose the right extension architecture
Use standard capability first
We test whether configuration, an improved process or integration can meet the requirement before recommending new development. This reduces unnecessary customisation and protects the value of Oracle-delivered functionality.
Extend Fusion with Visual Builder Studio
Use Oracle Visual Builder Studio to amend extensible Redwood pages or create App UIs that sit naturally within the Fusion experience. Namos designs extensions around supported Fusion REST services, business objects, roles and security, retaining Fusion as the system of record.
Build focused applications with Oracle APEX development
Use Oracle APEX for data-centric enterprise applications, portals, workflows and operational tools. APEX is particularly effective where a requirement needs rapid, iterative development, secure Oracle Database access and integration with Oracle or external services.
Namos considers users, data, Fusion context, identity, integration, accessibility and long-term ownership before recommending a tool.
Where extensions make a practical difference
- Replace spreadsheets, email chains and offline coordination with structured workflows, shared data and visible status.
- Address a focused requirement beyond the Oracle application configuration without weakening the upgrade path.
- Create secure experiences for employees, students, suppliers, partners or specialist operational teams.
- Modernise an established application and move it onto supported technology.
- Bring approved analytics or AI capability into the flow of work where the use case and governance justify it.
From requirement to production
Shape and prioritise
Focused workshops translate the requirement into a prioritised backlog, testable user stories, acceptance criteria and clear design decisions. This keeps business value, scope and delivery visible.
Design for reuse
Namos uses Oracle Redwood patterns, supported Oracle Fusion services, reusable components and existing Namos assets where they fit. Only the process-specific logic and configuration should be bespoke.
Build and validate in controlled increments
Working features are demonstrated regularly so users can test the experience and refine it before significant effort is committed. Functional, integration, security, accessibility and regression testing are built into delivery.
Promote with control
Extensions are version-controlled and promoted through development, test or UAT and production. The approved package and rollback route remain traceable.
Designed for ownership after go-live
Low code changes delivery speed, not the need for engineering discipline. Namos provides source code, architecture, reusable components, integration details, deployment guidance, testing information and operational documentation through an agreed handover.
Customer teams can work alongside Namos during delivery and receive practical knowledge transfer, helping them build the capability to maintain and extend the solution. Where continued assistance is preferred, Namos can provide support, health checks and controlled enhancement through Managed Oracle Technology Services.
Oracle quarterly updates are considered through release-impact review and regression testing of important journeys, APIs, roles and integrations. This keeps extensions visible in the Oracle lifecycle rather than allowing them to become unsupported custom services.
Experience that becomes reusable value
Namos has delivered Visual Builder Studio extensions around real Fusion processes and has longstanding Oracle APEX development experience across applications, migrations, health checks, training and supported products. Namos products show how functional, database, integration and low-code knowledge can become a supportable solution.
