OutSystems: game-changing Low-Code platform for sustainable business strategy

OutSystems: a catalyst for business innovation

In today's fast-paced business landscape, organisations must embrace innovative solutions to stay ahead. There are a lot of strategic technological trends that address crucial business priorities such as digital immunity, composability, AI, platform engineering, Low-Code, and sustainability. OutSystems, the leading Low-Code development platform, has become a game-changer in supporting organisations to implement these trends efficiently and sustainably.

OutSystems enhances cyber security

As organisations increasingly rely on digital systems, cyber threats pose a significant risk. Additionally, digital engagement with customers, employees, and partners, plays a vital role in a company's well-being.

The immunity and resilience of an organisation is now as strong and stable as its core digital systems. Any unavailability can result in a poor user experience, revenue loss, safety issues, and more.

OutSystems provides a robust and secure platform that helps build digital immune systems, safeguarding against evolving cybersecurity challenges. With advanced threat detection, continuous monitoring, secure coding practices, and AI code-scanning, OutSystems ensures applications are resilient and protected.

Furthermore, the platform covers most of the security aspects for project teams, enabling them to focus on delivering high value to end customers while best practices are recommended by the platform through code analysis using built-in patterns.

OutSystems simplifies cloud-native infrastructure management

Cloud-native architecture has emerged as a vital component for modern application development. The OutSystems Developer Cloud Platform enables teams to easily create and deploy cloud-native applications, leveraging the scalability and flexibility of cloud infrastructure through Kubernetes.

It allows companies to:

• Optimise resource utilisation
• Auto-scale application runtimes 
• Reduce operational costs
• Adopt sustainable practices (serverless computing, auto-scaling, …)

All this without the need for prior infrastructure investment nor the deep technical knowledge required to operate it and the typical burdens associated.

OutSystems: gateway to AI and automation

AI and hyper-automation have become essential business tools for assisting in content creation, virtual assistants, faster coding, document analysis, and more. OutSystems empowers professional developers to be more productive by infusing AI throughout the application lifecycle. Developers benefit from AI-assisted development, natural language queries, and even Generative AI.

Once ready with your development, transporting an app to the test or production environment only takes a few clicks. The platform highly automates the process and even performs all the necessary validations and dependency checks to ensure unbreakable deployments.

OutSystems seamlessly integrates with AI capabilities from major cloud providers like Amazon, Azure (OpenAI), and Google, allowing project teams to leverage generative AI, machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. By making cutting-edge technologies more accessible, OutSystems accelerates digital transformation and creates sustainable competitive advantages.

OutSystems enables composable architecture for agility

Composable architecture and business apps, characterised by modular components, enable rapid adaptation to changing business needs. OutSystems embraces this trend by providing a cloud-native Low-Code platform using and supporting this type of architecture. It enables teams to easily build composable technical and business components.

With the visual modelling approach of Low-Code, a vast library of customizable pre-built components and a micro-service-based application delivery model, OutSystems promotes high reusability and flexibility.

This composable approach empowers organisations to:

• Respond rapidly to changing business needs
• Experiment with new ideas
• Create sustainable, scalable, and resilient solutions

OutSystems enables the creation of business apps that can be easily integrated, replaced, or extended, supporting companies on their journey towards composability and agility.

OutSystems facilitates self-service and close collaboration

Platform engineering, which emphasises collaboration between development and operations teams, drives efficiency and scalability.
