OutSystems Platform, a cloud application platform as a service (PaaS), is now available to the South African market.
The platform has more than 36 000 installations across 22 industries in 24 countries, and is acclaimed for the rapid delivery of native .NET and Java applications, as well as virtually eliminating change request backlogs.
"We have delivered highly complex and scalable enterprise Web and mobile applications faster than we ever thought possible," said Craig Terblanche, director of OutSystems.
With Version 8.0, OutSystems Platform brings ease and performance to Oracle Fusion Middleware, including the WebLogic Server, the company says.
"Using the cloud shouldn't mean giving up control of your data, processes and systems in order to gain high productivity," said Paulo Rosado, founder and CEO of OutSystems.
"Our customers are looking for options - start in the cloud, move to on-premises, embrace hybrid models, extend applications using the languages they use today. With the OutSystems Platform, the application development community now has an enterprise-capable PaaS that will scale, port and extend any way they wish."
It is a portable and open platform, the company says, eliminating any risk of cloud lock-in and increasing control of enterprise data and workflows across cloud and on-premise data sources.
According to OutSystems, the platform is available as a public cloud service, with Amazon as its cloud service provider. The platform can reside in a private cloud provisioned by a third-party service provider, or in a private cloud within the customer's data centre. Customers can also run it as an on-premises solution and hybrid, or build and test in any combination desired.
"There are two major benefits we see in the local market," says Terblanche. "Firstly, project ramp-up time is dramatically reduced and time-to-market can be weeks with OutSystems Platform, rather than months with alternative or legacy approaches. Secondly, the total cost of ownership of enterprise applications is reduced to a fraction of what IT departments are used to investing year after year."
He concludes that the OutSystems' PaaS offering is ideal for companies looking to deploy and maintain enterprise-class applications more effectively.
