OutSystems, provider of the number one low-code application development platform, and Workato, a platform for intelligent automation, today announced a partnership aimed at allowing organizations to rapidly realize innovation, time to value, productivity, and mission-critical objectives through readily available application connectors. Persistent Systems is integral to this partnership as a strategic implementation and go-to-market partner for both OutSystems and now Workato. Together, the companies are building new products, automating business processes, and transforming customer experiences for their enterprise customers.

Together, OutSystems and Workato address the ever-increasing demand for:
Large enterprise core system integration – Leveraging data integration, messaging, API management, EDI, and bot-assisted file transfer capabilities
Mission-critical system integration – Accelerating time to value through rapid third-party integrations and continuous automation through a readily accessible data integration layer
Connected customer experiences – Providing a consistent view of data spread across many departments to unify customer experiences across different channels
Emerging integration needs – Through AI, machine learning, and natural language processing integration, automation of chat-bot tasks, RPA, and collaboration tool integration
Line of business and self-service enablement – Extend organization and role access through HR, sales, marketing, support, and IT accessible integrations
