Good afternoon everyone.
Hope you are having great time here at apex connect. Welcome to this exciting session about APEX Office Print.
In this session I will show you what apexofficeprint is and what it can do.
Before we get started, How many of you have heard of apex office print?
- Not a lot I see. I am happy that the majority has not heard about it. I can already tell you that this is the product you’ve been waiting for.
- For those of you haven’t, I can already tell you that this is the product you’ve all been waiting for.
How many of you have used BI Publisher/ PL/PDF or JasperReports?
How much of your development/productive time have you spent just making templates or getting the layout just right? That is of course once you figure how to setup the whole system, right.
Well I am here to tell you that those days are gone.
Our product AOP is really easy to install and even easier to use.
Or in the very words of our CEO, Dimitri, We make reporting easy.
Quote: “THE reporting solution for APEX”
You can chose Excel, Word, PDF, doesn’t matter which format, AOP can do that – your data in the format you want
Business person or developer, you can decide what data you want to see in the format you want, no limitations.
We have now almost 200 customers
Really easy to do – a business user can even do it
People really want native Excel, not just CSV
Select Data from the local or remote database (SQL, PL/SQL), Websource (JSON), REST webservice/GraphQL, regions (charts, IR/IG, Calendar)
Select the output type and you are done
Select Data from the local or remote database (SQL, PL/SQL), Websource (JSON), REST webservice, regions (charts, IR/IG, Calendar)
Infrastructure is really lightweight – 1 SQL script to create the packages, 1 (or more) APEX plugins, 1 executable on the server
You are up and running in mere minutes.
This architecture everybody is familiar with, the only thing we add is the AOP Server (you can decide where it is, as long as the database can connect to it)
If it was not APEX but other technology, you could do a REST call from Web Server or even Client
The simplest way to interact with the Server is through the REST API
As we are in the Oracle database we made a PL/SQL API to generate the JSON and do the REST call
And to put the cherry on top, we also provide you with apex plugins to make things even simpler.
As we are APEX developers and love the tool we made an APEX Plugin on top of the PL/SQL API
Let us have a look at some of our customers who are already saving countless hours by leveraging the many possibilities provided by AOP. We are proud to say have now more 3000 users around the world.
Over 350 on premise licenses.
Some of our customers
We want you to be successful, so whatever we can do to help in achieving that we will do
We take pride in providing you with the best support you can get.
As Joel always says, we want you to be Rockstars – so we spend a lot of time in answering and helping people through our support channels
For the Free AOP Cloud we have our own Slack Channel on apex.world
OTN Forum
Twitter Direct or Public Messages
For all these reasons, the apex community has loved AOP and is helping us letting the world know that AOP exists.
Who does not know what D3 is? (have web page open already)
We included everywhere high performance PDF, and you get 2 servers instead of 1 and all the great new features
