Highly secure applications, always

Highly secure applications, always

The OutSystems Platform's code follows the security practices required for the most demanding security audits, and the generated code is automatically tested for security vulnerabilities as part of our quality assurance process. For example, SQL Injection is one of the security threats immediately overcome in all applications built with the platform. You also get a built in security model that allows single sign-on for all your applications, integration with your identity provider systems, and the ability to apply security business rules in your logic.

Extend your existing systems

Extend your existing systems

Accelerate integration with existing systems using pre built adapters, or create your own. Run wizards to access SAP data, connect to existing databases, access data from web services, read and transform files. The OutSystems Platform lets you deploy your connectors once and reuse them over and over across your applications.

Make your system of records change-safe

Make your system of records change-safe

Create an architecture where you avoid changing core systems - which are not built to change - and create an architectural layer of services that can be reused in applications that need to be flexible. You will lower the cost of maintenance for your legacy systems, reduce your technical debt, and have the ability to quickly react to changes.

A unified interface over your distinct systems

A unified interface over your distinct systems

Integrate services and data to deliver a consistent view over all your existing systems. Mash up information from your ERP, SaaS packages, or legacy systems, and deploy highly usable applications that are easy to continuously change with no impact to your backend systems.

Expose your core systems information in a secure and scalable way

Expose your core systems information in a secure and scalable way

Making your core systems' information accessible on public portals poses serious security and performance issues. With the OutSystems Platform you can build highly transactional portals using asynchronous jobs and integration workflows to handle all the caching and high processing requirements, while keeping your core system safe from heavy load and security threats.

Change your applications with zero risk

Change your applications with zero risk

Change applications faster, decrease maintenance costs, and ensure that, no matter how big the change, your applications will always be architecturally sound and working. The OutSystems Platform tracks all dependencies and pinpoints the impact of a change across all layers of your application. It heals the sections that can be automatically corrected and tells you about the required manual corrections. It also automates the deployment process including all database change scripts and the impact this change will have in the running application.

Control the delivery process and ensure error free deployments

Control the delivery process and ensure error free deployments

Get error free continuous deployment from day one, with full visibility and control of changes done to your applications. Manage versions, releases, deployments and all component dependencies across multiple staging environments from a centralized console. Experience streamlined delivery with no need to install complex tools for configuration, build and version control, nor find the experts to set them up.

Detect problems fast, troubleshoot and correct them faster

Detect problems fast, troubleshoot and correct them faster

The built-in application end-to-end monitoring capabilities, along with our visual debugger, allow you to easily pinpoint the part of the application that needs to be corrected. The impact analysis engine will ensure that all your changes are sound, and the automated deployment process will assist you in deploying your hot-fixes. This allows you to react as soon as a problem is found, which dramatically compresses your corrective maintenance cycles.

Immediately understand and change code built by others

Immediately understand and change code built by others

By using visual models, the OutSystems Platform makes it easy to understand the architecture of each application. Easier knowledge transfer reduces the risk of switching development teams and contractors, and eliminates the issue of orphan code. Onboarding new developers is simplified, giving you more flexibility in allocating resources to projects.

Embrace user feedback and deliver applications fully aligned with business needs

Embrace user feedback and deliver applications fully aligned with business needs

Always have a vertically integrated version of your applications ready for your QA teams and key users to try. Collect their feedback directly on the running applications, manage it centrally or integrate it with your own Project Management tools, and immediately apply the changes they requested. They will see their applications evolve really fast, and you will see a big increase in application adoption.

Automated build and staging processes across environments

Automated build and staging processes across environments

The OutSystems Platform automates all application deployment processes across multiple environments, up to Production farms. It keeps track of database changes, dependencies between applications and services, and prevents you from deploying inconsistent versions. This dramatically reduces errors, lowers costs, and allows for faster and robust change cycles.

Complete control when deploying multiple applications, services and data schema upgrades

Complete control when deploying multiple applications, services and data schema upgrades

Having a fully automated deployment process doesn’t mean you can’t control it. All staging operations are audited, and you can even interrupt the process so your DBAs can inspect the generated DDL scripts, or do all the preparation work for the deployment, with no impact to the running applications. When ready, simply activate the new version and the new functionality will become available to users.

Built-in Performance Management for all applications

Built-in Performance Management for all applications

Applications built with the OutSystems Platform are automatically instrumented for usage and performance monitoring using a queue-based asynchronous logging service. End-user performance monitoring provides valuable insights on how applications are performing in your users' browsers/devices. Built-in reports help you identify application errors and performance issues in integration, database queries and screens.

Scale horizontally as your application usage grows

Scale horizontally as your application usage grows

The OutSystems Platform ensures that all your applications are prepared to scale when needed. Simply add new servers to your farm and the OutSystems Platform will immediately deploy existing applications to them - no need to change your application code. You can also define which set of servers an application runs on, allowing higher isolation and supporting different processing needs.

Run multiple applications on a single optimized infrastructure, on premise or in the cloud

Run multiple applications on a single optimized infrastructure, on premise or in the cloud

The OutSystems Platform’s architecture allows you to reduce infrastructure and operation costs by having many large applications running in the same, optimized infrastructure. You can deploy your applications to the cloud, in your own datacenter, or event create your own private cloud that safely integrates with your existing systems.

Rollback your deployment as soon as you find a critical problem

Rollback your deployment as soon as you find a critical problem

Even after a successful deployment, bugs can still sneak in and impact your applications. Being able to immediately restore behavior or service after an unsuccessful release is incredibly important. The OutSystems Platform provides the necessary mechanisms to help you rollback your applications with confidence. You can immediately take applications offline or automatically restore your applications to a previous correct version, in minutes.
