• Generate software based on a model instead of coding.
• Great control on the development cycle (Development/Testing/Acceptance/Production) using Lifetime for deployment.
• All based on industry standards like Java/.Net/MS SQL Server/Oracle (so no vendor lock on the results).
• Business Processing Engine.

• It's such a well conceived service, I can't think of anything that's missing in functionality for our HC company. What we ask of AWS is to be so reliable, so customer-focused and so fast that we can just do what we do best, and forget about their job in our success.
• Healthcare: Since this is our core market, we're very interested in watching this vertical evolve and Amazon's vision for it. We'd value more insights and collaboration with Bezos on what our vision is too.

• The platform controls all the parts. While great for development and overall maintenance, it could lead to discussions with your DBA (who has to trust the platform). As a developer I love the platform, as a DBA I would like more control.
• By making software development model driven using flows, you are forced to rethink the way of programming. It makes it easier, but sometimes the way of working leads to code which could be optimized (standard problem in model based software development).
• Most of the code is generated, so the technical knowledge of the inner working of coding are not Essentials. This could lead to degration of this knowlegde. As part of this, most technologies will only be used when OutSystems supports it. They do a good job on implementing these things. But things like Node.js would be nice.

• This information is not under my specific role or responsibilities even though I use the software on a weekly basis. However, I feel confident in saying that if it was not worth the investment we would have discontinued our use of it by now.

• Another good example of positive impact on business objectives is a project where I've been envolved, where even custom developments have failed. And the main reason for that was because the requirements were changing all the time, and after each sprint we had to change the course of the project. There were times that after changing the same component 3 times the business decided to rollback to the starting point. This scenario was tremendously difficult and time-consuming if we were not using a low code platform. The project turned out to be a success and the business was able to redefine their own processes.
• I have some more examples where existing market solutions have failed for various reasons, and investments were made in vain. The platform endows the business with the flexibility needed to build fast and more business oriented, bringing return on investing and more value to the costumer.
