If you are using OutSystems 11 (O11) to develop and deploy your applications, you might be wondering how to take advantage of the new features and benefits of OutSystems Developer Cloud (ODC). ODC is the latest fully cloud-native offering from OutSystems that allows you to build, run, and manage your apps on a fully managed platform-as-a-service (PaaS) environment. ODC offers several advantages over O11, such as:
  • Faster development and deployment cycles with continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) capabilities
  • Greater scalability and reliability with cloud-native architecture and automatic scaling
  • Lower operational costs and complexity with no infrastructure management or maintenance
  • Higher security and compliance with built-in encryption, backup, and disaster recovery
  • Easier access to innovation with new AI features and integrations for businesses and developers

ODC will fully replace O11 by 2029 so it makes sense to move sooner rather than later but migrating your existing O11 app portfolio to ODC is far from trivial. It requires careful planning and execution, as well as technical expertise and resources.

You need to consider several aspects, such as how to:

  • How to convert your O11 architecture to ODC: there are no modules in ODC, just applications and libraries
  • How to migrate your O11 data to ODC: how to move from relational to object-relational data stores
  • How to test and validate your migrated apps on ODC
  • How to monitor and optimise your apps on ODC 

Fortunately, you don’t have to do it all by yourself. You can leverage the benefits of using our offshore migration factory in South Africa to handle the work of getting your O11 apps to ODC. By outsourcing this task to a qualified and experienced team of OutSystems experts, you can enjoy the following benefits:

Save Time and Money

You can focus on your core business activities and avoid spending time and money on hiring, training, and managing an in-house migration team. You can also reduce the risks and costs associated with downtime, errors, or failures during the migration process. An offshore team can provide you with a fixed-price and fixed-time quote for the migration project, so you can budget and plan accordingly.

Also, if you’re running O11 in your own environment, there can be significant cost saving to moving to OutSystems hosted cloud environment.

You can tap into a pool of skilled and certified OutSystems professionals who have extensive knowledge and experience in migrating O11 apps to ODC. They can handle the technical complexities and challenges of the migration, as well as provide you with best practices and recommendations for optimising your apps on ODC. They can also help you leverage the new features and capabilities of ODC to enhance your app functionality and user experience.

Quality and Security

You can rely on a high-quality and secure service from an offshore team that follows strict quality standards and processes. They can ensure that your migrated apps meet your expectations and requirements, as well as comply with the relevant regulations and policies. They can also provide you with documentation and support for the migration project, as well as ongoing maintenance and updates for your apps on ODC.

Flexibility and Scalability

You can adjust the size and scope of your offshore team according to your needs and preferences. You can choose to outsource the entire migration project or only specific parts of it. You can also scale your team as your app portfolio grows or changes. You can communicate and collaborate with your offshore team via online tools and platforms and have full visibility and control over the migration progress and status.
