News Summary
The consumer web and mobile applications experience is setting significantly higher standards for enterprise application user interfaces (UIs). To address customers' increased UI expectations, Oracle has developed the Oracle Alta User Interface, a design system and set of guidelines that enables developers to deliver strikingly modern, simpler, and more engaging UIs across web-based and on-device mobile applications. The Oracle Alta UI is the new standard for Oracle Applications and Oracle Cloud-based services and is supported by Oracle's development tools and frameworks for mobile, cloud, and web-based applications.

News Facts

  • Oracle Alta UI is a new user interface design system that enables developers to create modern, visually pleasing, consistent, and engaging interfaces that can be easily distributed across all delivery channels.
