With the increasing demand for faster application development, Gartner has published the new Magic Quadrant for Enterprise High-Productivity Application Platform as a Service (hpaPaaS) 2017 report in which OutSystems is named a Leader. This category of technologies accelerates application development and digital business transformation.

According to Gartner, “high-productivity, or rapid application development and deployment, platform technology in the cloud is growing swiftly as enterprise IT increasingly exploits cloud-based tooling with reduced skill requirements.” Further, Gartner says, “high-productivityaPaaS provides rapid application development (RAD) features for development, deployment and execution — in the cloud. Enterprise aPaaS is an aPaaS offering designed to support the enterprise style of applications and application projects — such as high availability/disaster recovery (HA/DR), external service access, security and technical support.”

“Gartner’s definition of enterprise-class high productivity aPaaS is spot on,” said Paulo Rosado, CEO of OutSystems. “IT organizations are demanding faster digital solutions that address multiple use cases, are easy to use, and have broad functional depth.
