Thought Leadership Spotlight: “Software Enables Every Business. So Every Company Must Behave Like a Great Software Company”
Software powers everything around us, from our phones to banking to healthcare to auto manufacturing. So any company that wants to remain competitive must become very good at creating, delivering and maintaining software. In this session, Gia Lyons, Director of Product Marketing at Puppet, will share how CIOs can accelerate IT transformation and partner with their business to deliver better software, faster. Attendees will learn how DevOps practices and IT automation can help them cultivate a higher-performing IT organization, one that deploys software 200 times more frequently, spends 50% less time remediating security issues and 22% less time on unplanned work than lower-performing teams, according to the 2016 State of DevOps Report. With this digital mindset, CIOs can future-proof their technology landscape and lead their executive team and their company into the next exciting chapter in their business transformation.

OutSystems addresses two major IT pressure points
Mobile has changed IT. Thanks to today’s “connected” generation, mobile is pervasive, and if businesses want to keep up and not lose market share, they need to address two major IT pressure points:
• Digital transformation • Faster application delivery and change cycles
How OutSystems Platform solves the problem
OutSystems answers the challenges of digital transformation, mobile, and faster delivery cycles. OutSystems low-code application platform makes it fast and easy to develop applications from small departmental to large complex mission-critical ones. At the core of OutSystems Platform is rapid application delivery, but there is much more. The goal is to reduce costs and risks by enabling continuous application delivery without breaks in the lifecycle by providing:
• Rapid productivity: Apps can be created and integrated in weeks, not months.• Speed and code: Visual modeling delivers extensibility, efficiency gains, and speed of development
while maintaining complete flexibility to integrate custom code. • Multi-channel development: Developers use visual modeling to develop an application that can run on
any device or platform. Risks, development time and costs are significantly reduced with error-free, automated deployments.
• Open platform: Investments in large back-end systems are protected by integrating with existing systems of record and/or data sources.
• Enterprise-grade platform: IT teams can build and manage large application portfolios just as easily and quickly as a single app.
• Reduced costs: The cost of application maintenance is reduced to a fraction with automated dependency management and holistic application lifecycle management (ALM).
• No vendor lock-in. No runtime interpreters or engines are required to enable OutSystems applications. Code is completely portable.
OutSystems manages the complete application lifecycle of large portfolios at thousands of enterprise organizations in 33 countries across 22 industries. OutSystems is a leader in The Forrester Wave: Low-Code Development Platforms.
