The ‘OutSystems ONE Conference 2025’, held in Lisbon on 30 September and 1 October, marked a turning point in the trajectory of Low-Code. The event brought together leaders, partners, and developers to demonstrate that Low-Code, historically focused on productivity, has established itself as a strategic driver for business innovation, powered by Artificial Intelligence.
OutSystems’ core message was clear: the platform is evolving from High-Productivity Development to Intelligent Development. This transition is the path to the next era of adaptive software, where AI not only assists in building software and applications, but also becomes capable of executing and collaborating on business workflows.
Devoteam played a prominent role in this fundamental debate, not only as a Silver Sponsor, but also by seeing its knowledge and expertise recognised at the Partner Impact Awards. The distinction as EMEA Partner of the Year for Practice Development 2025 is a validation of the ongoing investment in creating a Centre of Excellence (CoE) and technical specialisation, resulting from the joint work of Devoteam and its partner OutSystems to drive this new era.
Speed and stability: The foundation for the cloud-native future
‘ONE Conference 2025‘ was marked by a series of announcements that underscore OutSystems’ commitment to accelerating delivery and operational stability.
The highlight was the democratisation of access to OutSystems Developer Cloud (ODC), now available to all existing customers. This decision gives organisations of all sizes the possibility to access a cloud-native environment under a single licence, simplifying experimentation and innovation with complete security. For companies, this is a practical gateway to modernisation, allowing them to accelerate delivery without disrupting existing systems.
OutSystems has also focused on interoperability between O11 and ODC, signalling a strategic and considered approach to modernisation. Companies are no longer limited to choosing between stability and innovation: they can keep existing applications running on the O11 platform while exploring new cloud-native capabilities on ODC. This hybrid approach significantly reduces migration risk and costs, allowing modernisation initiatives to be phased in.
From assistance to autonomy
The ‘ONE Conference 2025‘ highlighted OutSystems’ focus on deeply integrating AI into the core of its solutions, aiming to take Low-Code to a new level of autonomy.
OutSystems highlighted two major AI-driven capabilities that are reshaping the way work is done:
OutSystems Mentor as the AI assistant for Low-Code development, focused on helping teams build applications faster, maintain quality, and reduce dependence on specialised developers. For companies, this translates into shorter delivery cycles and more predictable results.
However, the big news that marks a strategic turning point is Agent Workbench. This framework is not limited to assistance functions; it allows companies to create autonomous agents capable of reasoning, performing tasks, and collaborating on business workflows in real time.
Agent Workbench is the technical foundation for the next evolution of software: the transition from an ‘assistant’ to an ‘agent system’. This means that ‘intelligence’ is no longer external; it is now integrated into the fabric of the application, allowing systems to be adaptive and collaborative. This ability to incorporate decision-making directly into workflows enables the automation of high-value processes (such as customer support, approvals, and document handling), freeing up resources for strategic initiatives.
To ensure this autonomy is secure, OutSystems emphasised that governance and observability are built in by design, with audit trails and guardrails essential for highly regulated contexts.
Agent Workbench marks the moment when AI becomes a core capability in businesses, transforming what was once a prototype area into an implementable, manageable, and secure solution for organisations.
