Deloitte continues their partnership with OutSystems to free customers from the bimodal IT trap.

Vaz, Partner with Deloitte Consultores. “The era of ‘monolithic’ legacy core systems is over.” For modernization projects, from B2B applications that extend existing ERPs, to B2C projects for custom-made apps, Deloitte is partnering with OutSystems to lead the market toward digital transformation.
Persistent Systems is partnering with OutSystems for their digital and continuous transformation projects. “Across industries, our clients need the ability to capitalize their data and be future-proof,” explains Jacque White, Chief Customer Officer at Persistent Systems. “With low-code, we can rapidly design, develop, and deploy solutions that give our clients an immediate competitive advantage.”
Carahsoft serves as OutSystems’ master government aggregator, supporting OutSystems’ public sector channel partners and driving demand for the company’s solutions throughout federal and state and local governments. “When we look at the digital transformation challenges facing the government today, from federal agencies to state and local organizations, we consistently see the need for agile strategies that will realize results fast,” explains Michael Shrader, Vice President of Innovative and Intelligence Solutions at Carahsoft. “Our partnership with OutSystems gives us and our reseller ecosystem the ability to be nimble and increasingly digital.”
Transnational E-Business provides leading logistics and technology projects in Southeast Asia. “Investing in OutSystems as a platform has allowed our organization to accelerate our initiatives towards digital transformation,” explains Renvi R. Martinez, President and General Manager of Transnational E-Business Solutions, Inc. “We’re leveraging the OutSystems platform to identify new enterprise opportunities across the continent, where low-code gives us an advantage amongst both local and global organizations.”
L&T Infotech (LTI) is collaborating with OutSystems for global IT projects, with a relationship aimed at driving business value for mutual customers. “Our clients are looking at us to create rich experiences, transform processes and build new businesses and as the low-code leader, we believe the partnership with OutSystems will help us partner with our clients in their digital transformation efforts,” says Rohit Kedia, Chief Business Officer, Manufacturing and ERP Services, Americas, LTI.
PwC has built an OutSystems competence center in Portugal to serve both European and American projects. By building a central team of certified developers, PwC can easily use the OutSystems platform for digital transformation projects around the world. “We’re embracing low-code for both new business opportunities and for new projects within existing accounts,” explained Miguel Pinto, Advisory Director of PwC Portugal. “The speed of development and delivery is unmatched, and without any compromise on the quality of the enterprise applications.”
CapGemini continues to focus on IT innovation and Digital Transformation as a means to enable their clients business growth. “With OutSystems, we’re able to build proof of concept web based and mobile native sound applications across different sectors of business activities like financial services, manufacturing and life sciences. By building them quickly, and designing them to scale from the start, we’re able to demonstrate a nuanced understanding of both the challenges and opportunities our clients face,” explains Luís Batista, Principal at Capgemini. “OutSystems is the ideal partner for the agile project development we practice.”
