OutSystems announced a partnership with Software Improvement Group (SIG). Now OutSystems customers will be able to use software assurance solutions from SIG to manage the quality and security of newly developed software and its architecture while dramatically shortening the time to market.

The OutSystems and SIG partnership will enable customers to deliver high-quality, secure applications and features to meet today’s accelerated timelines. Using the SIG software assurance platform, Sigrid, OutSystems customers gain access to fact-based measurements of the maintainability and security of their applications, augmented with recommended actions from the SIG experts. This deep source code visibility, in turn, allows them to substantially reduce maintenance costs and resolve bugs much faster.

“As the OutSystems platform is increasingly being used to develop core applications and replace legacy systems, the joint solution with SIG is a logical next step for many of our customers. The international footprint of SIG with offices in Europe and US, as well as their additional strengths in monitoring security vulnerabilities and architectural hotspots, will allow OutSystems customers to easily choose the level of quality assurance they need for their portfolio of applications,” says Antonio Barros, Lead Product Manager at OutSystems.

SIG a large software analysis database with more than 25 billion lines of code across more than 260 different types of technology. The consultants at SIG use the data to evaluate an organization’s IT assets on maintainability, scalability, reliability, complexity, security, privacy and other mission-critical factors. The SIG laboratory is the only one in the world accredited according to ISO/IEC 25010 by the German TÜViT quality institute for software quality analysis.

“Our benchmark database report, published in Q3 2019, showed a strong uptake in low-code adoption.2 We are very pleased with the OutSystems partnership, which will facilitate the exchange of application source code in a highly secure fashion, allowing a smoother delivery process. Through this partnership we expect to support more clients with fact-based insights and advice to manage their legacy modernization with confidence,” says Luc Brandts, CEO of Software Improvement Group.
