In a perfect world, businesses would have enough time to develop and deliver clean and perfect codes. But impending deadlines and limited resources often force businesses to prioritize a speedy release over well-designed code. Such trade-offs underlie the concept of technical debt, which can come back to haunt them in the future. But there is a way businesses can have their cake and eat it too—by creating an app quickly and efficiently without incurring technical debt.
Enter OutSystems.
With a mission to give every organization the power to innovate through software, OutSystems has developed a high-performance low-code platform that helps businesses speed up their application development cycles without compromising quality and efficiency. This innovation is a critical milestone in the present landscape as more and more businesses are now realizing the hurdles posed by off-the-shelf applications and are starting to rely on custom application development. The OutSystems low-code platform fills the gap in functionality between off-the-shelf SaaS products and fully customized software solutions. Businesses can thus avoid incurring any technical debts often associated with sub-par applications development when working on their custom enterprise software.
At its core, the OutSystems platform creates a visual, model-driven, and AI-powered app development environment that provides a faster and more efficient way for an organization to build custom software. The platform delivers pre-built code modules along with a ready-to-use interface and workflow templates. Users can utilize drag-and-drop functions to design intuitive user interfaces and operational workflows to develop full-stack and cross-platform applications. These features are further complemented with cloud-native scalability and high availability, combined with essential governance and security controls.
Additionally, OutSystems allows integration with many widely-used services and solutions, such as SAP, Salesforce, SQL, Microsoft Office 365, Jira, Oracle, and more. Owing to such user-centric functionalities, the platform is utilized by professional developers across numerous banking, security, and financial institutions, governments, and other corporations. The innovative capabilities of OutSystems are matched by the company’s well-defined client onboarding process that ensures efficient implementation of the platform.
OutSystems commences the clients’ journey by enabling them to develop a strategy that ensures very quick Time to First Value (TTFV). The company then helps its clients implement the platform and offers training programs for the developers. Depending upon their strategies, clients may seek help from OutSystems by tapping into their own in-house developers, and collaboratinge with OutSystems’ certified business partners, or outsourcinge the entire application development process to the company.
OutSystems then looks for additional use cases for the clients, provides them with business value consulting services, and helps them identify the areas of their business that must be prioritized to generate maximum ROI. With such a customer-centric approach, OutSystems has formed a global community of clients and a partner-centric network across eighty countries and is one of the fastest-growing modern application development brands. Over the years, OutSystems has garnered a’ reputation, working with several industry behemoths who utilize its low-code platform to improve operational efficiency.
One of the recent collaborations that OutSystems had was with Singapore’s leading advanced integrated security provider, Certis, to help them jettison legacy solutions and develop customized solutions gives a glimpse of their success in the market. Certis was operating on a twelve-year-old paper-based quality management system. By employing OutSystems, the company developed a slick and user-friendly mobile-first, digital security service delivery module. After incorporating the processes into a single modern app, Certis improved the overall performance of its quality management operations and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.

OutSystems is extending its partner network to global system integrators worldwide, especially those operating in India–Deloitte, Accenture, TCS, WIPRO, and Infosys–to offer its platform worldwide.
