contents	<p>User experience evaluation is critical for identifying user requirements and mitigating the risk of product failure during the development of interactive systems. This article offers a thorough framework for updating Oracle Configurator user interfaces using a Bootstrap-based method that keeps the backend infrastructure intact while providing modern frontend experiences. The persistence of legacy web infrastructures and database applications poses major obstacles to organizational agility, security, and maintainability. Outdated enterprise configuration systems lack modern security patches, responsive design, and integration capabilities, leading to operational inefficiencies and elevated risk. This article presents a four-step plan for updating systems that includes keeping the basic structure, redesigning the user interface, and adding interactive features based on the framework. The framework addresses three key challenges prevalent in enterprise software environments: diversified user goals and operational patterns, limited access to external users during development, and the necessity for long-term evaluation and maintenance. By carefully examining current Oracle Configurator designs and modern web development methods, this study shows how companies can greatly speed up configuration tasks, increase user involvement, and boost overall system performance. The dual-panel layout design featuring selection interfaces and real-time summary displays represents a significant advancement over traditional single-page configurator layouts. Post-implementation results from similar modernization initiatives demonstrate reductions in administrative overhead, improvements in security posture, and enhanced form load performance. The successful implementation validates the framework as a robust, scalable blueprint for organizations seeking to enhance their digital capabilities while preserving business logic and data integrity embedded in legacy Oracle systems.</p>
