Software with a mission, Portugal for the world
OutSystems was born in Portugal in 2001 with the aim of accelerating software production in companies and organizations around the world. With yet another edition of the Web Summit approaching, it is worth reflecting on the real scope of the work we have been doing in digital.
The mission from day one and ambitious, today, as people allow various organizations of organizations their own solutions in our short term spaces, in a much smarter way and in creating time, in a much more intelligent and planned way. And, when there are no restorations to organizational cultures in the post-pandemic world, where remote workers and my mission are dispersed in various geographic areas and in the sense of belonging, the orientation is precisely the distance to a reinforced focus. In the case of OutSystems, what unites people is willing to solve complex engineering problems, with positive impacts on the world. This was the case of the initiative We help Ukraine.
– that make available after the Russian mobilization, professionals who provide support to volunteers in less than a week.
This was only possible over the years of engineering at the OutSystems center, with elite practices all over the world in Portugal. For example, in the cloud, we have projects that require support area for 1 billion simultaneous users (or 1/7 of the world population). Already in several areas of security, in terms of several governmental defense institutions and using OutSystems, it will become one of the few Portuguese entities to be part of the FIRST (Global Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams), the world’s only security incident response organization.
that OutSystems has helped to put Portugal at the forefront of engineering, from security, say, to programming assisted by Artificial Intelligence, to innovation in User Experience or development in the Cloud. We are a company of inventors and engineers who want to take the world forward. This is something that brings me great satisfaction – also contributing to Portuguese society by being an elite world employer based in Portugal, and that does not see our country as a remote center for hiring people “by the meter”.
I created OutSystem because I wanted to be in a place where design works, thought of excellent people who inspire us to give the best of ourselves. At the base of our culture is a “little book of big rules” and among them is the “Excel” rule (practicing excellence) – everything we do to do well. It is this drive to do better and better that makes the best people want at OutSystems. in northern Europe, and they are on their careers in an extraordinary country doing extraordinary work.
This is not at the heart of what has made us successful for so long and this is why our culture has survived so many “growing pains”. In doubt about what unites us, we turn to the mission – making the world better and becoming better in the process. And this is a great reason to keep going.
OutSystems is a global leader in the development of high performance applications. A low-code, high-performance OutSystems platform provides organizations with tools to rapidly develop, deploy, and administer business-critical applications.
NEW HEADING
Countdown to WebSummit 2022 is a new item in Diário de Notícias, which previews the trends that will mark the next global startup meeting at the end of October, in Lisbon. Throughout the week of the event, there will be opportunities and challenges for investors, inspiring examples and news that will mark the agenda of national and global entrepreneurs. The stage passes here, with the reflection of experts in a new series of opinion pieces. The article published today is signed by Paulo Rosado, founder and CEO of OutSystems.
