Curious to understand the reason of not choosing a modern UI and backend using Open Source tech stack such as React/Java/Golang/PostgreSQL ?

Software development and continuous maintenance costs money and not every company has any business trying to run a software development department.

Every company should be focused on data analytics though

Especially writing a bespoke data entry system.

You can find plenty of cheap good enough consulting companies that can make modifications to any of the third party SaaS products.

  • Understood. It is no doubt the maintenance and the time to build. However, it does take some efforts to build Oracle forms that requires a good amount of development time in PL/SQL and for customization of forms screens.

    • The thing is that it is a well understood platform and easy to hire out one of the major consulting companies by giving them the requirements and signing a statement of work.

      Then when you don’t want to deal with them, hire out another one.
