OutSystems Unveils New ONE 2025 Initiative to Fuel Generative AI-Powered Application Development
OutSystems has launched the ONE 2025 initiative, aimed at revolutionizing custom software development through generative AI. Unveiled at a conference in Lisbon, this low-code platform empowers businesses to create AI-driven applications swiftly. Focusing on automation, it addresses the rising demand for personalized solutions while minimizing manual coding. Competitors also utilize AI, but OutSystems' Agentic AI distinguishes its unique offering.
Unveiled at a virtual press event, the effort is intended to change the way companies build custom software with generative AI, akin to using a cloud SaaS service. It focuses on OutSystems as one of the forefront company in enterprise software innovation.
A Bold Step Forward
ONE 2025 Initiative: Tools To Accelerate AI-Powered Application Development Launching at the ONE Conference taking place in Lisbon, Portugal, from Sept. 30 to Oct. 1, 2025, this initiative will have Agentic AI enabled, which develops intelligent, adaptive software agents. These agents manage complexity, minimizing manual coding and technical debt. OutSystems is the low-code platform for modern applications that has over 800k community members and 500 partners in 75 countries. ONE 2025 is the next step in the mission to simplify software creation.
The initiative reflects a rising demand for bespoke applications. In 2025, businesses will leave behind off-the-shelf software and move toward customized solutions powered by AI, predicts Forrester. Generative AI is the basis of OutSystems’ platform, which enables faster app delivery for companies whose needs are changing. And with ONE 2025, we are also giving developers the ability to build AI-powered apps with minimal effort, thanks to our platform upgrades. It matches industry trends toward automation and efficiency.
Business Insights and Expert Information
Diego Lo Giudice, vice president and principal analyst at technology and services research firm Forrester, is one of the speakers at the ONE Conference. In his keynote, he will discuss the rise of custom software as a result of Agentic AI. “The ONE 2025 initiative demonstrates the value that AI-driven application development can deliver,” Lo Giudice said. Businesses using these tools will see quicker results from their AI investments, he said. There will also be a session about the future of software development, led by OutSystems founder and CEO Paulo Rosado.
The emphasis on AI-enabled application development comes as enterprises look at scalable solutions. Its ability to unify and automate the software lifecycle is what makes the platform unique. Organizations building applications with OutSystems can use AI to automate processes such as customer service or analyzing data. The ONE 2025 experience includes hands-on demos and workshops to put these tools into action. This approach is designed to provide a balance between the theory of AI and its application in practice.
Strategic Market Impact
The ONE 2025 project is aimed at IT leaders and developers under pressure to innovate quickly. OutSystems’ timing is strategic, with 60% of enterprises planning to grow AI budgets in 2025. The initiative helps businesses in finance, healthcare or retail, where custom apps are vital. With a low-code offering, OutSystems reduces barriers for non-technical users, widening its addressable market. The firm has clients in over 75 countries, reinforcing the company location in the market.
Other low-code challengers such as Mendix and Microsoft Power Apps also leverage automation and AI, but the centerpiece of OutSystems’ ONE 2025 initiative is Agentic AI. These agents can act autonomously to perform certain tasks such as updating apps based on user feedback. This helps to minimize development time and costs, which is attractive to cost sensitive firms. The computerized translation empowers them with future-ready abilities and the ability to remain competitive amidst the ever-evolving tech world.
Looking Ahead
The initiative ONE 2025 could transform enterprise software development. With a focus on AI-driven application development, OutSystems wants to help businesses to innovate faster. The Lisbon conference will be an inflection point — with forum sets featuring luminaries of the field and practical sessions working with new technologies. If they succeed it will be based on how well OutSystems catalyzes its community to deliver measurable results.
Challenges remain, including competition and the need to demonstrate the value of AI. OutSystems needs to prove that what its AI-powered applications can do is superior to the old ways. The initiative’s emphasis on real-world, scalable solutions may give it a leg up. With the tools provided being adopted by businesses, it seems one of the side effects of the ONE 2025 initiative could potentially create a new generation in software development set to improve productivity and innovation throughout 2025 and beyond.
