OutSystems and S2E: The Winning Strategy Against Technical Debt

Technical debt represents the accumulation of inefficiencies caused by rapid or poorly structured development choices. Much like financial debt, shortcuts taken in software development generate future costs: complex applications to maintain, security vulnerabilities, reduced team productivity, and difficulties in integrating with new solutions.

These elements do not only affect IT, but have direct consequences on business performance: technological rigidity reduces the ability to respond quickly to market changes and limits innovation. Managing technical debt therefore becomes a strategic factor, with tangible impacts on organizational competitiveness.

OutSystems: Innovating Without New Debt

To address this challenge, organizations need an approach that combines speed, security, and sustainability. OutSystems meets this need with a high-performance low-code development platform that enables the creation of enterprise applications much faster than traditional methods.

The advantages of this approach are clear:

  • Shorter release times compared to traditional development
  • Significantly lower development and management costs through automation
  • Higher productivity thanks to reusable components and fully automated lifecycle processes
  • Standard architectures with no proprietary lock-ins to avoid vendor dependency

Applications built with OutSystems are based on standard architectures and are designed to be secure by design and always up to date. This way, companies not only innovate faster but also avoid accumulating further technical debt.

 

S2E Approach: From Project to Continuous Management

Technology alone, including OutSystems, is not enough. To fully leverage the potential of the platform, organizations need a partner capable of guiding the entire digital transformation journey. This is where S2E stands out: we combine the robustness of the platform with a consulting-driven approach that begins with analyzing specific needs and results in customized, integrated solutions ready to grow the business.

We are an official OutSystems partner with Delivery status, a recognition achieved by very few specialized companies. This milestone was made possible by building a dedicated 15-person team, constantly updated and certified in all areas of the platform: from development to sales, including architecture and technical leadership.

Every project is tailored, with the goal of modernizing existing applications or building them from scratch, simplifying complex processes, and delivering more intuitive digital experiences.

 

Concrete Projects: Finance, Energy, and Modernization

The projects delivered with OutSystems so far span strategic sectors such as finance and energy. In particular, the modernization of legacy applications has been a challenge successfully met thanks to the platform. Through feasibility studies and in-depth analysis, S2E has demonstrated how drastically time-to-market can be reduced and customer ROI improved.

The speed of development and the ease of integration with CRM, Big Data, and other technologies make OutSystems an operationally winning choice for companies looking to modernize their tech stack.

OutSystems and AI: Power for Complex Workloads

The platform is particularly powerful in solving complex problems and managing articulated workloads. AI integration has proven to be a true value accelerator - not just a step ahead of the competition, but a concrete ally in creating tailor-made solutions for clients.

The adoption of advanced modules and intelligent logins introduced just a year ago has already delivered significant progress within OutSystems, demonstrating the platform’s continuous evolution toward intelligent automation.

 

S2E Prepares for the OutSystems Global One Conference

Lisbon, September 30 – October 1, 2025

Anche quest'anno parteciperemo alla conferenza internazionale di OutSystems che riunirà esperti, clienti e innovatori da tutto il mondo per esplorare il futuro della piattaforma low-code più potente sul mercato. Organizzato ogni anno in una città diversa, la One Conference è più che un semplice evento: è un vero e proprio momento di condivisione globale, accessibile anche da remoto grazie alle sessioni on-demand.

This year we will once again participate in the international OutSystems conference, which brings together experts, customers, and innovators from all over the world to explore the future of the most powerful low-code platform on the market. Organized each year in a different city, the One Conference is more than just an event: it is a true global sharing experience, also accessible remotely thanks to on-demand sessions.

Goals and Expectations for the One Conference

We approach the convention with great enthusiasm and high expectations. Our objectives are twofold:

  • Discover the platform’s new features and learn how to apply them in the short term
  • Expand our professional network by meeting new partners and clients for future collaboration

We believe this is an opportunity to enhance not only technical skills but also managerial and strategic capabilities, within a continuously evolving low-code market.

Toward the Future with OutSystems

Our participation in the event strengthens the partnership between S2E and OutSystems, a strategic collaboration we have shared for the past two years. It also represents a key milestone in our business growth, aimed at delivering increasingly effective and customized solutions for our clients.

We are ready to experience the One Conference as a moment of affirmation, discovery, and inspiration. It is an opportunity to look forward together with a global community, toward a future where technology and artificial intelligence merge to create real value.
