A new era of AI-Powered low-code: How OutSystems is accelerating digital transformation in the UAE
The addition of ODC in the UAE marks a significant milestone for both OutSystems and the region's digital transformation journey In an age where digital solutions are essential for staying competitive, the ability to quickly build, test, and scale applications provides businesses with a clear edge. Generative AI presents a tremendous opportunity for organisations to improve developer productivity and accelerate software development. OutSystems Developer Cloud (ODC), a flagship AI-powered low-code platform, is now available in the UAE digital landscape and it enables organisations to create intelligent, adaptive applications that meet the ever-changing needs of today's businesses. Furthermore, with the recent addition of Mentor - a first-of-its-kind digital worker - OutSystems is bringing the combined power of generative AI and low-code directly into the enterprise software development space to address the region's diverse needs through self-managed, private, and public cloud environments. Software development now may take days, not months The most exciting breakthrough with ODC is how it dramatically reduces the time and effort needed to build, deploy, and evolve applications. By integrating generative AI into the industry's leading low-code platform - recognised by Gartner as the leader for eight consecutive years - OutSystems is taking developer productivity and value creation to a whole new level. Imagine generating the first version of an application in minutes, simply from a natural language prompt or a product requirements document. From there, developers can use ODC to visually refine it with AI-powered suggestions, test it, and deploy it with enterprise-grade security and lifecycle management. Beyond that, ODC offers a modern cloud-native architecture, built-in DevOps and developer tools as well as the speed, scale, and performance that modern business demands - making it the top choice for rapid enterprise application development, while continuing to build on the strengths that have long set our platform apart. Organisations can enhance the productivity of their development teams, empowering them to contribute effectively to business needs while reducing the heavy upfront investments in traditional software solutions. With ODC's app generation capabilities, IT teams can create tailored applications that meet their exact needs - whether for government services, banking and financial institutions, or any other industries. The new ODC cloud location in the UAE is designed to fully comply with local data residency and security requirements. By running on AWS, ODC inherits all the robust security and compliance measures that come with AWS infrastructure, ensuring that businesses can build and deploy applications while meeting regional regulatory standards. Driving digital transformation in the region ODC's unique capabilities provide a significant advantage to businesses across industries in the UAE by enabling them to build, iterate, and scale applications faster than ever before. ODC accelerates innovation and operational efficiency by empowering companies to modernize and customise core business systems and develop internal and external applications - all while ensuring they meet the highest standards of performance, security, and scalability. This represents a transformational shift for the UAE's software development ecosystem and the region's broader digital transformation efforts. Given the UAE's early and substantial investments in AI, along with OutSystems' strong presence in the region for over a decade, the UAE serves as a key hub for the Middle East and Africa. A long-term commitment to innovation The addition of ODC in the UAE marks a significant milestone for both OutSystems and the region's digital transformation journey. As a long-standing technology leader in the UAE, we recognise the country's commitment to AI, innovation, and cloud-first strategies. With ODC, we are enabling businesses to harness the competitive advantage of speed and agility, positioning the UAE as a powerhouse of innovation through software. This is more than just a product rollout - it's a catalyst for a future where enterprises can innovate faster, scale smarter, and drive transformation with unprecedented flexibility and security. It will allow us to double our regional growth in the upcoming months. Conclusion OutSystems investment in ODC in the UAE underscores the company's long-term commitment to the region. This marks yet another step forward in its decade-long journey in MEA, bringing the most advanced low-code and software lifecycle automation platform to businesses here. The UAE becomes one of the first worldwide with the new product, with more planned as OutSystems continues its rapid growth across multiple countries. As demand accelerates, further expansion is expected, reinforcing the company's investment in the region's digital transformation for years to come. Eduardo Cruz is the regional vice president, MEA at OutSystems.
