Power smarter apps and agents with OutSystems Data Fabric

The virtualization layer ensures uniform data representation, simplifying handling. Regardless of source format, data is mapped into entities and attributes for consistent use. This streamlines manipulation, allowing standard constructs like aggregates and lists across all sources.

Centralizing data in one repository streamlines discovery and retrieval. The platform promotes reusability via custom datasets, tailored for teams with different permissions. It provides a unified view, displaying accessible data sources based on roles, easing data access for diverse teams and IT managers.

As long as there are no significant changes in the external system, such as deleting entities or altering login credentials, our system maintains connectivity without issue. We securely store all relevant connection details, ensuring seamless access for an extended period.

It's the ability to tailor datasets for specific lines of business requirements, integrating data from various sources. For example a tailored 360-degree app for a sales team. With custom datasets, data from Salesforce, SAP, or other sources can be easily combined, all set for reuse in a given sales application.

It functions as a data gateway that standardizes data from various sources, providing access to the application layer during development. When data is requested, it passes through the platform, undergoes transformation, and becomes accessible to the application during both development and runtime.

OutSystems Data Fabric gives teams a practical answer to why data integration matters in enterprise development. It creates an advanced virtual data layer that unifies data from disparate sources like SAP, Salesforce, external databases, legacy systems, and SaaS applications, so you can reduce data silos, avoid manual data mapping, and build data-driven applications faster with built-in security, governance, and strong performance.

To understand what is Data Fabric, think of it as a data layer that sits above multiple systems and sources to unify data from disparate environments while abstracting the complexity underneath. It creates a single, consistent view of data across silos, making it easier to access, incorporate into applications, and adapt as business needs and technologies change.

Knowing when to use OutSystems Data Fabric comes down to complexity. OutSystems Data Fabric is a strong fit when an application needs data from multiple systems and you want to avoid heavy API orchestration, manual joins, or ongoing synchronization work. It is especially useful for building a 360-degree customer view, supporting legacy modernization, establishing master data management, and powering sales or e-commerce applications with unified, reusable, and governed data.
