Why Enterprises Need to Migrate to ODC - The Business Imperative

The Future is Cloud-Native. Are You Ready?  

Application development is evolving at an unprecedented pace. To stay ahead, enterprises must embrace cloud-native technologies that enhance scalability, agility, and performance. OutSystems is leading the way with Developer Cloud (ODC)-a next-gen, cloud-native platform built to future-proof your applications.  

If you're still on OutSystems 11 (OS11), now is the time to rethink your strategy and start planning your migration to ODC. But is it just another upgrade? No - it's a game changer that unlocks new business value and positions your organization for long-term success.    


Why Migrate to ODC? 

1. Cloud-Native by Design - Built for the Future 

Unlike OS11, which was optimized for on-premise and hybrid environments, ODC is designed from the ground up to be cloud-native. This means: 

  • Auto-scaling capabilities to handle demand fluctuations effortlessly  
  • Better cost optimization with a pay-for-what-you-use model  
  • Higher resilience & reliability, reducing downtime and maintenance headaches  


2. Unmatched Performance & Security 

Enterprises managing complex application cannot afford performance bottlenecks and security vulnerabilities  ODC delivers:

  • Stronger security via cloud-native best practices  
  • Faster deployment & execution with microservices-based architecture  
  • Optimized workload distribution, ensuring apps run more efficiently 


3. Future-Proofing Your Tech Stack

With OS11 approaching eventual deprecation, delaying migration means increased technical debt, compatibility issues, and reduced vendor support. ODC provides:  

  • Seamless integration with modern cloud ecosystems  
  • Support for AI-powered development, increasing efficiency  
  • Long-term viability, keeping your tech stack competitive  

  
4. Accelerate Innovation and Competitive Edge

Companies adopting low-code and cloud-native architectures are accelerating digital transformation at record speeds. Migrating to ODC enables:  

  • Faster time-to-market for new applications  
  • Access to modern DevOps tools for streamlined operations  
  • AI-driven automation, reducing manual effort & increasing efficiency  

 

How to Approach Your ODC Migration  

Migrating to ODC is a strategic move not a simple lift-and-shift process. It requires:  

  • A structured migration strategy tailored to your architecture  
  • AI-powered automation to reduce complexity  
  • Expert guidance to ensure smooth execution
