Digitalization is booming, with rapidly changing needs making it difficult to keep up with developments. A truly agile setup is needed, with lots of flexibility to stay at the head of the pack, which is just what a low-code platform has to offer.

Digital transformation is moving at breakneck speed, making high demands of organizations in every industry sector if they are to stand any chance of staying ahead of the pack.
Software lifetimes are shrinking rapidly, and it’s no longer financially viable to spend years developing an IT solution that’s almost outdated even before it can be used. The need to accelerate software development has never been more acute than now.

Boost IT development with low-code

You may be a growing private business that needs to expand its existing IT infrastructure with new applications. You may also be part of a public sector authority with overloaded systems in desperate need of optimization. Perhaps you’re even working in the supply industry and need the right digital setup for app development. Or maybe you have another requirement entirely that requires agile software. No matter what industry, sector or market your organization operates in, low-code has enormous potential to accelerate your digital transformation and boost your digital future.

What is low-code?

Low-code consists of standardized templates and modules that can be quickly and easily combined into intuitive and modern systems.

At NNIT we have chosen to work with the highly advanced application platform OutSystems that is designed to enhance the development of applications and IT solutions. The platform gives you more software for your resources. OutSystems makes it possible to build new solutions and applications, and to modernize existing systems to bring them up to date and able to meet your needs.

OutSystems is built on low-code technology to enhance your digital building blocks and expand the possibilities. Low-code building blocks are made up of standardized templates and modules that can be effortlessly and swiftly integrated to create modern and user-friendly systems. And should you have any specific or special needs, it’s possible to customize an individual block able to supplement the pre-defined ones. In contrast to native code, in which solutions are coded from scratch, OutSystems’ low-code model saves time, giving users a digital edge when it comes to achieving faster time-to-market with quality-assured IT solutions.

Why OutSystems?

In a world in which digital transformation is advancing on all fronts, staying on the ball is essential if you’re not to be left behind.

OutSystems makes it possible to accelerate development, build new applications, or enhance existing IT solutions simply and efficiently. And the process from idea development to construction and maintenance can be managed close to the core business and line of business.

Thanks to its simple construction, OutSystems is an agile, user-friendly platform that does not necessarily need highly-qualified IT skills, but can be implemented by IT-savvy employees with a digital mindset. That opens up unique ways of expanding and developing IT systems with your personnel, to ensure rapid implementation and the best possible support for the organization. It also makes it possible to shift some of the development work out to smaller digitization units, which otherwise tends to pile up in the IT Department. The result is an acceleration of the digital transformation, because the development of new applications is more widely distributed, avoiding delaying your projects due to shortage of resources and the need to prioritize.

If your organization faces one or more of the challenges below, low-code could be the solution:

You have more need for rapid time-to-market due to changes in business needs or new legislation
You need to acutely modernize your IT portfolio and accelerate the development of new software
You have a heavy technical backlog in the form of legacy systems inhibiting the development of your existing IT architecture
You need cohesion between existing applications
You need a scalable solution, but don’t have the necessary resources to develop new applications from scratch.

Certified Training Partner for OutSystems Low-code

NNIT is a certified OutSystems Training Partner and has a team of certified Trainers. This ensures that both the training and materials are of the highest quality and approved by OutSystems.

Available programs

The training programs are tailored to meet the specific needs of your company. We offer intensive boot camps that delve deeply into various areas of OutSystems. Participants will be able to independently start low-code development with OutSystems after the boot camp.

We also offer jump starts that can be utilized in various scenarios. If your company is considering adopting low-code, a jump start is an excellent way to gain insight into the technology and its many benefits without a significant investment. A jump start can also be an easy way to introduce your company's developers or other relevant stakeholdes to OutSystems.

If your employees need training for a new OutSystems project, we can create the perfect training path tailored to their individual skills and future tasks. The training path is a self-study program but can be supplemented with our mentor program, where your employee receives mentor sessions with our experienced and certified OutSystems developers, ensuring they always have the opportunity to solve specific challenges or understand technologies and terminologies.

Eyes on Sessions are our 30-minute sessions that cover a single topic. Participants receive an introduction and overview before integrating the topic into the larger OutSystems ecosystem (where it fits, what function it serves, etc.).

Bootcamp

Participate in intensive training where, over three or five days, you will immerse yourself in OutSystems development with a certified NNIT trainer. At the end of the week, a certification exam is offered to test your skills and earn certification.

Bootcamps work best on-site in a classroom setting (either at your location or NNIT's), but can also be conducted online. The bootcamp can be shortened to three days, with the last two course days and certification being a subsequent self-study. This can be supplemented with our mentor program.
Jump Start

Various jump start sessions are available, and the program can be tailored to your needs.

A jump start can range from eight hours in a classroom to three hours online. It includes practical exercises where the participant can develop with guidance from our certified instructor.

Before starting the practical tasks with support from provided step-by-step guides, the participant receives an introduction to low-code and OutSystems development.
Training Path

Get a customized learning path for each employee.

This is often used for competency development of relevant employees, which can include developers, designers, or other technically skilled staff eager to learn new things. This can be supplemented with our mentoring scheme.
Eyes On Sessions

Participate in one or more half-hour sessions, where we cover a topic or area in OutSystems.

These sessions are a great opportunity to learn more, brainstorm, or determine if more time should be allocated to a topic or area.

The list of sessions is constantly expanding, so contact us if there is a topic you would like a session on.

• Service Studio
• Integration Builder
• Automated Testing in OutSystems – The BDD Framework
• Integration Studio
• AI Mentor
• LifeTime Deployment and versioning
• Style Guides
• Service Center Walkthrough
Mentoring Program

If you need support either during a project or in connection with OutSystems training for your company's employees, a mentor program might be the perfect solution.

We will work together to determine how the mentor program should be structured. It could be a weekly session of one hour where specific technologies, terms, or methods can be discussed.

It could also be during a period when skills are being developed and there need to be two daily opportunities to ask a mentor about a specific training path or task.

We create a tailored solution based on your needs.
