About Systems iO
ABOUT US Systems iO was founded in 2019 to develop software for the specialist insurance market using the OutSystems low-code platform. While the software development sector is crowded, and there are many Insurtech offerings to the insurance market, there are no companies specialising purely in OutSystems development. Systems iO is that company.
Our founders combine expert knowledge of the insurance market – having worked for both brokers and underwriters for many years – with long careers in software development in general and low-code tools in particular.
Since we started we have branched out to develop software for other industry verticals while retaining a dedicated insurance practice. We are also an OutSystems Partner and Platform Reseller.
OutSystems is the leading low-code platform of choice, with many companies in different industries across the globe enjoying competitive benefits such as the ability to develop up to 6x faster and quickly adapt and scale to meet new requirements.
OUR PLATFORM OutSystems is the most complete low-code platform for building enterprise solutions that drive real business value. Its speed of development combined with a scalable architecture makes complex and slow legacy modernisation projects achievable in months rather than years. OutSystems means ideas come to market faster supporting your digital transformation ambitions.
OutSystems for Insurance recognises the drag and expense of legacy monolithic systems and the challenge that disruptive Insurtech start-ups can represent. OutSystems can underpin a digital-first strategy for insurance through deployment of customer-centric platforms built 10x faster than traditional development methods allows.
