About OutSystems
What is OutSystems?
OutSystems is an AI-powered low-code development platform designed for enterprises to build, deploy, and manage custom applications and AI agents. It combines visual development with AI assistance to accelerate digital transformation.
What problem does it solve?
OutSystems helps organizations overcome the rigidity and high cost of traditional development while avoiding the limitations of off-the-shelf SaaS. It enables teams to automate complex workflows, modernize legacy systems, and deliver personalized employee or customer experiences with enterprise-grade security and governance.
Who is it for?
It's built for enterprise IT teams and business developers who need to ship applications quickly at scale. It's ideal for industries like manufacturing (e.g., Bosch's AIoT platform), insurance (Zurich), and consumer goods (HEINEKEN). It is not for solo hobbyists or small projects needing only simple websites.
Real use cases
OutSystems has been used to cut assembly line onboarding time from weeks to days (Bosch), double monthly policy sales (Zurich), and save millions of hours by automating processes (HEINEKEN). It supports both employee-facing and customer-facing applications.
