OutSystems is working with Deloitte Consulting to build a Centre of Excellence (COE) focused on providing cloud-based industry solutions using Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The idea is that Deloitte, OutSystems, and AWS will hatch out new enterprise applications for customers.
The Centre of Excellence is European wide and so far has been tapped into by Red Cross Netherlands. The Red Cross used it to build new applications for volunteer management and coordination. The three organisations let the Red Cross to scale operations amid increased demand and rapidly changing needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Under a new agreement, Deloitte US, the largest Deloitte member firm, will broaden the Deloitte Global COE-Based Service Delivery and Software Productisation Practice using the OutSystems development platform. The pair are touting the alliance as offering clients the ability to simplify project delivery efforts and realise business value faster by accelerating time-to-market, reducing ongoing application support and development costs, and retiring or replacing ineffective or inefficient applications and infrastructure, thereby accelerating transformation.
Deloitte will offer accelerators and assets across industries to deliver business value with the OutSystems platform.
OutSystems COO Carlos Alves said one of the bigger issues in the industry is tackling a lack of speed and agility of traditional software development.
“Our high-productivity, modern development platform automates and simplifies complexity, but with the power and expressiveness of traditional development. This approach radically transforms the way our customers build, deploy, and most importantly, evolve their critical applications. Deloitte’s deep industry and cloud expertise builds on top of the proven capabilities of the OutSystems platform, enabling our joint customers to realise the full strategic benefits of digital transformation”, Alves said.
Deloitte Consulting’s Tim Smith said that the range of solutions we can help deliver with OutSystems is vast – from customer experience transformation and workplace innovation, to process automation, legacy modernisation, and more.
“The ability to build and evolve apps in one platform is the reason we’ve teamed with OutSystems”, he said.
