IT leaders are constantly pressured to deliver more value with fewer resources. OutSystems AI-powered low-code platform empowers IT teams to achieve these goals by streamlining operations, accelerating delivery, and enabling cost-effective innovation. IT leaders can leverage OutSystems to maximise efficiency and reduce costs in eight ways.
1. Maximise productivity: Enable Small Teams to Deliver Better + Faster
OutSystems equips small IT teams with tools to efficiently design, build, and deploy applications. With its visual development interface, built-in automation, and AI-driven assistance across the Software Development Life Cycle, even a lean team can deliver high-quality results. This efficiency allows IT leaders to allocate resources more effectively, ensuring small teams punch well above their weight.
2. Accelerate Delivery: Achieve Results in Weeks, Not Months
Gone are the days of long development cycles. The OutSystems platform enables rapid prototyping and deployment, helping IT teams deliver functional applications in weeks instead of months and months instead of years for complex and robust applications. Pre-built templates, reusable components, and automated workflows reduce manual effort, ensuring faster time-to-market and quicker realisation of business value.
3. Simplify Your Tech Stack: Reduce Licence Fees, Vendors + Tech Skills
Managing a complex tech stack with multiple vendors and licences can drain budgets and bandwidth. OutSystems consolidates multiple functionalities into a single, unified platform. IT leaders can minimise costs while streamlining operations and improving maintainability by reducing dependencies on disparate systems and specialised skill sets. One single source of code can be deployed on the web and mobile.
4. Complement Your Core Systems: Lower Development + Upgrade Costs
Customising core systems often involves time-intensive coding and expensive upgrades. Instead, OutSystems complements your core systems with an application layer that seamlessly integrates with all your systems, leaving the core systems to focus on what they do best. OutSystems applications and workflows can be easily modified with minimal disruption, ensuring quicker updates and reduced costs for development and maintenance.
5. Modernise Legacy Systems Fast: Use AI to Leapfrog Manual Tasks
IT Leaders no longer have to put up with outdated legacy systems that are costly to maintain and difficult to scale. OutSystems AI tools fast-track the pathway to modernisation by allowing much of the functionality of the legacy system to be replicated automatically. Developers enjoy a head start on the project with structured information, such as database schemas, forms and application metadata extracted from legacy into the new application. Modern architecture further ensures a scalable, future-proof solution that retires technical debt.
6. Digitalise Processes: Eliminate Inefficiencies + Reduce Costs
Manual processes and operational inefficiencies can bog down organisations and inflate costs. OutSystems enables the digitalisation of workflows, from approval systems to supply chain management, to name a few. IT leaders can drive operational excellence and save valuable resources by automating repetitive tasks and eliminating bottlenecks.
7. Implement Digital Self-Service: Minimise Customer Service Expenses
Customer service can be a significant cost centre for many organisations. OutSystems empowers IT teams to rapidly build digital self-service applications, such as chatbots, portals, and mobile apps, that enhance customer experiences while reducing the need for human intervention. This not only improves service delivery but also significantly reduces customer service expenses.
8. Innovate Affordably: Generate New Revenue Streams
Innovation is essential for growth but often comes with high costs and is the first to be cut when budgets are tightened. OutSystems enables IT teams to experiment and innovate without breaking the budget. From creating customer-facing apps to launching new digital services, the platform allows organisations to test and implement ideas quickly while keeping development costs under control.
The Bottom Line
For CIOs and IT leaders, OutSystems offers a game-changing approach to meeting today’s challenges. By leveraging the platform’s AI-powered low-code capabilities, organisations can streamline operations, reduce costs, and drive innovation without overextending their resources.
