Customers select OutSystems to encapsulate (aka wrap) existing applications that cannot deliver the required experience or lack certain features required by the business. Decision criteria include our ability to integrate with any type of existing systems easily and quickly, the high quality of the user experience, and the ability to deliver that experience on any platform. This includes taking advantage of mobile device capabilities such as camera, GPS and working offline. These capabilities are critical to meeting the expectations of users - both customers and employees. When organizations look to rebuild existing applications using traditional code, they often cannot justify the investment because of the time and cost involved.
