APEX Office Print (AOP)

Editor's Notes

• #2: 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.
• #3: Or in the very words of our CEO, Dimitri, We make reporting easy. Quote: “THE reporting solution for APEX”
• #4: You can chose Excel, Word, PDF, doesn’t matter which format, AOP can do that – your data in the format you want
• #5: Business person or developer, you can decide what data you want to see in the format you want, no limitations.
• #6: We have now almost 200 customers
• #7: Really easy to do – a business user can even do it People really want native Excel, not just CSV
• #9: Select Data from the local or remote database (SQL, PL/SQL), Websource (JSON), REST webservice/GraphQL, regions (charts, IR/IG, Calendar)
• #10: Select the output type and you are done
• #11: Select Data from the local or remote database (SQL, PL/SQL), Websource (JSON), REST webservice, regions (charts, IR/IG, Calendar)
• #33: 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.
• #34: 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
• #35: The simplest way to interact with the Server is through the REST API
• #36: As we are in the Oracle database we made a PL/SQL API to generate the JSON and do the REST call
• #37: 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
• #40: 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.
