OutSystems, provider of the industry-leading Agile Platform application development tool, announced today the immediate availability of their newest version: Agile Platform 7.

Agile Platform 7 brings three key advances to the product:

Simplified DevOps:

Agile Platform 7 introduces LifeTime, a new Agile Platform component for application lifecycle management that provides increased control over application development without sacrificing operational simplicity. With LifeTime devops teams will:

• Simplify the effort and associated risk with staging an application from development to production allowing for improved IT agility.
• Have an automated deployment process across all environments, from development to production, simplifying the ‘DevOps’ process and increasing overall IT efficiency.
• Utilize a single console to monitor and manage their application portfolio increasing transparency and improving collaboration.
• Have a powerful security model to help share operational activities while maintaining control.

Simplified SaaS: 

In Agile Platform 7 support for multi-tenant applications has been enhanced to provide developers a simplified experience for building multi-tenant applications that require full data isolation. New features allow development teams to focus on delivering a high value single tenant application and let the Agile Platform handle all necessary multi-tenancy needs. This new multi-tenancy feature-set has long been requested by our ISV customers and prospects and it has finally arrived, allowing them to build next generation SaaS applications with the same speed and flexibility all OutSystems customers experience.

Simplified Java Development:

Agile Platform 7 brings all its advanced capabilities for rapidly developing rich interfaces for web and mobile applications to the Java world. From version 7 forward all the new features of the Agile Platform will be supported on both the Java and .Net stacks simultaneously. This is yet another example of how the Agile Platform provides enterprise IT teams flexibility of stack choice while not sacrificing the delivery of great applications.
