Why is outsystems called as OUTSYSTEMS?
Discussion
Announcement
Happy New Year To all of You. I did spend most of my time in Outssytems last year and it was a great ending.

All this long I had one question in my mind which is : Why is outsystems called as OUTSYSTEMS? I somehow feel that name is strange ? Is there anybody who thinks the same ?

Hi guys,

Our initial vision was that eventually all IT "systems" would migrate "out" of enterprise data centers and be supported by Application Service Providers - ASPs and we went and built a platform to support that opportunity. We could not foresee that the "out" would be eventually called "cloud":)

Ravi -

Honestly... I've wondered the same thing myself but never thought to ask!

Just a quick note to who may be interested in that post, now (after more than 5 years) that link is broken and I could not find it on OutSystems blog.

Currently, it can be read on Medium:

Interesting, how Paulo mentions in his post about DevOps was used way back in 2002, although it has been named recently. Definitely way ahead of time. OutStanding OutSystems!

Now it makes some sense regarding Outsystems name...thanks for your replies and really exciting to see if there will be a better name to the platform. After all the platform has a lot of capabilities and the end user should get some fascination and attracted by the name.  A first impression is the best impression :)

Great story - simple, meaningful and technically accurate, and more importantly, still very relevant!
