CXO Advisor partners with OutSystems to enter SA market

CXO Advisor, South Africa's independent ICT Advisory business and OutSystems, provider of the Agile Platform application development environment, announced a new agreement whereby CXO Advisor will provide insight and guidance to OutSystems as they enter the South African market.

CXO Advisor will help OutSystems establish the market potential and assist with market positioning and development for OutSystems' products including the Agile Platform 7.0.

The Agile Platform 7.0 was launched at the recent NextStep 2012 conference in Lisbon. "The Agile Platform 7.0 release is focused on simplicity and introduces a new component called LifeTime. This component expands our application development and delivery platform with a single view for both development and operations to manage their application portfolio and dramatically simplifies many of the challenges faced by organisations trying to adopt new DevOps processes," OutSystems CEO Paulo Rosado said.

Support for multi-tenant apps

In addition to the LifeTime component, the Agile Platform 7.0 provides enhanced support for building multi-tenant applications that require full data isolation. By setting a single application parameter in the Agile Platform a complete multi-tenant solution is generated from the business process layer, through the database, to back end application monitoring.

Says Craig Terblanche MD of CXO Advisor: "We are excited about the opportunity to work with OutSystems and to bring this innovative technology to Africa. We believe that the combination of the Agile and Rapid paradigms will bring accelerated skills, capacity and capability to the market. This could assist South African companies to take a much needed technological lead in the African landscape."
