Meet the all new Agile Platform™ 6.0

Leaner user interface, mobile support, themes, open source apps and the cloud. We reinvented the Agile Platform to give even more power and ease of use to IT departments.

    

True open source apps. 

We've created an integrated suite of free open source business apps to help you jump start the learning process and quickly deliver fully functional apps, in hours.

Each app has been built to showcase good application design and includes an automated try, change, go-live process shifting the time to value from months to hours. Apps included in this release cover key business functions like HR, CRM and eCommerce. See available apps.

Go mobile. 

Agile Platform 6.0 automates and simplifies the development of mobile applications for a range of devices including iPhone, Android and Windows Mobile 7. Powered by enhanced IntelliWarp™ and TrueChange™ technology, 6.0 makes it easy for all developers to build and deliver rich mobile applications with the power and speed inherent to the Agile Platform.

Take a look at the Mobile Sales app for a great example of the type of applications you can build with the new Agile Platform 6.0. 

Do it in the cloud.

OutSystems now offers a complete cloud-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering for organizations seeking to eliminate the cost and complexity associated with managing their own development and production infrastructures.

The cloud takes care of the infrastructure. The Agile Platform takes care of the development and deployment. You just need to focus on building your next great web app - everything else is taken care of. Check the new PaaS offer.

Ease of use. Enterprise power.

Agile Platform 6.0 offers a completely redesigned user interface, for a streamlined development experience, simplified application portfolio management, and enhanced operational control (including integrated end-user management and access control functionality).

We made it look simpler but kept and enhanced all the great functionality you were used to. This means more power to you, with better usability. Download the Agile Platform 6.0

Themes and Placeholders. 

Version 6.0 now includes themes and placeholders that allow you to quickly change the layout and look & feel of your apps.
Themes centralize design elements like CSS, definition of Web Blocks, error handling web flows and images used in feedback messages. IntelliWarp™ technology has been enhanced to leverage the power of themes and placeholders - choose an available theme or
create your own, then use it across your apps to give your users a unified and rich experience.

Productivity Boost

With version 6.0 you'll be more productive than ever. Check the impact of changing an action across an entire software factory; automatically set variable types based on patterns identified by real users of the platform; or even use a navigation tree to tweak the design of your application. More  than 60 new changes have been introduced in version 6.0 to enhance your productivity in all phases of development and management of your applications.

HTML 5 and CSS 3

The Agile Platform now supports the HTML5 doctype and constructs like the input type (to change the browser's behavior when users input numbers, searches and emails). Mobile themes make extensive use of CSS3 and transitions to ensure apps are rendered correctly. You can also use IntelliWarp™ technology to speed up the development of apps that look great and work flawlessly on mobile devices.

Simpler user management

Agile Platform 6.0 now introduces the concepts of Roles, Users and Groups. These give you extreme flexibility to manage your applications' users at the same time that it makes it simpler for other developers to understand how apps were built. Groups are built-in the platform and can be defined at runtime, allowing you to add users into "organizational groups". You can also see how many users are associated with each application. All centralized and simple.
