We are using Outsystems for implementing applications for our SaaS product for the utility sector. We started with a small team (4 persons) and are now ramping up to 12. In the end, we are going to use more teams to work with the new product. Our customers use the service for energy meter data management and analytics.

Outsystems has a comprehensive toolset to develop, deliver and manage a large portfolio of enterprise-grade applications with matured product features, significant market presence, and in-house professional services team and an evolving ecosystem. It is helping us to move out of the legacy of lotus notes and other digital transformation initiatives. We see it will help bring our users in the coming years a lot with mobile apps as well.

I work in a banking organization where we use Outsystems in the credit branch. It integrates with the core systems of the bank, taking care of heavy duty information processes, and managing customer credit accounts, using the great user interface.

At Deloitte, we provide consulting services to other companies and, for some of them, we use OutSystems as our main implementation technology. We have projects that focus [not] only on front ends, but also, projects that use OutSystems functionalities to integrate with core and legacy applications. It is used by several departments inside the organization.

We at Schneider have chosen OutSystems as our most preferred platform for custom development of large-scale enterprise applications. It is used to develop global, regional, local applications on the web as well as mobile. We were on the lookout for an enterprise-grade platform that can help us govern our IT landscape better and also reduce the time to market the applications.

OutSystems is being used to develop internal applications for HR & Appraisals. We are also developing software for our customers in the energy sector. The problem we are trying to address is to migrate applications in older technologies to enterprise web apps and mobile apps using the OutSystems low code platform.

We use OutSystems as part of a drive towards digital transformation, replacing existing (mostly paper or spreadsheet-based) processes with ones that provide better governance and visibility to those process stakeholders. We are targeting operational processes first, and then moving into other areas, such as system integration tasks. OutSystems is very good at handling the orchestration of web service APIs. We intend to simplify our main sales to an invoicing process.
