 CXO Advisor will help OutSystems establish
the market potential and assist with market
positioning and development for OutSystems’
products including the Agile Platform 7.0.
 The Agile Platform 7.0 was launched at the
recent NextStep 2012 conference in Lisbon on
May 10, 2012. OutSystems CEO Paulo
Rosado said, “The Agile Platform 7.0 release
is focused on simplicity and introduces a new

 This component expands our application
development and delivery platform with a single view
for both development and operations to manage their
application portfolio and dramatically simplifies many
of the challenges faced by organizations trying to
adopt new DevOps processes.”
 In addition to the LifeTime component, the Agile
Platform 7.0 provides enhanced support for building
multi-tenant applications that require full data
isolation. By setting a single application parameter in
the Agile Platform a complete multi-tenant solution is
generated from the business process layer, through
the database, to back end application monitoring.

 Says Craig Terblanche (MD of CXO Advisor), "We
are excited about the opportunity to work with
OutSystems and to bring this innovative technology
to Africa; we believe that the combination of the Agile
and Rapid paradigms will bring accelerated skills,
capacity and capability to the market. This could
assist South African companies to take a much
needed technological lead in the African landscape.“
 On the subject of skills scarcity, Terblanche says,
"OutSystems plans to invest in skills development in
the ISV and VAR market and utilize some of CXO
Advisor's own unique, financially based IT
Management approaches to enhance these
capabilities locally.
