OutSystems has been named one of the 20 Red Hot Pre-IPO Companies in 2014 B2B Tech by IDG Connect. In this annual report, IDG Connect Editorial Director Martin Veitch presents the best privately-held tech companies. The report aims to provide IT decision-makers with new and interesting options among companies that haven't yet come onto the public stock markets.
According to IDG Connect, attributes that make a red-hot company include good management, a strong story, enthusiastic customers, a vibrant developer/partner community, strong funding from reputable companies, sales, growth, positive views of experts in the field, market opportunity, and competitive differentiation.
The report recognises OutSystems for meeting a real market need with a high-productivity development platform that helps IT organisations build modern, effective Web and mobile applications that can be delivered and changed quickly.
Paulo Rosado, founder and CEO of OutSystems, comments: "I am delighted that OutSystems was recognised by IDG Connect. Tech company valuations are increasing and there are strong signs of a bounce-back in major economies. There are also several new waves of technological change taking place at the moment. There is a real move to the cloud as well as automation within the IT stack, which the OutSystems Platform is aptly suited to enable. This is an exciting time to be a new market disruptor."
Some other notable companies listed in the report are Alibaba Group, Birst, Box, Bromium, CipherCloud, Cloudview, DataStax, Hortonworks, MuleSoft, Nutanix, SailPoint, Virtustream, and Zendesk.
