Exit OutSystems. Own your code. Stop paying the licensing tax.

OutSystems scales your licensing cost alongside your success — the Application Object model means the more you build, the more you pay. Our AI factory converts your entire OML estate into clean, idiomatic high-code in a fraction of the time and cost of a manual rewrite. Phased delivery. Full IP ownership. Cash-flow positive by Year 2.

IP sovereignty Zero vendor tax ROI in <24 months

Deepest OutSystems tooling in the factory. Proven OML-to-high-code conversion pipeline.

  • Full OML parsing
  • Idiomatic output
  • Behavioral equivalence tests
  • Phased cutover

The OutSystems cost trap

Staying costs millions. A manual rewrite takes years. There's a third option.

The problem with staying

As your application estate grows, so does your OutSystems invoice. Application Objects multiply with every feature, every integration, every screen. The more successful your product, the higher the tax. You're locked into a pricing model that penalizes growth.

The problem with manual rewrites

Traditional rewrites of OutSystems estates take 2–4 years, cost 8–15M euros, and carry enormous human-error risk during translation. Teams burn out. Business logic gets lost. Feature parity is never fully reached. Most projects drift and stall.

Inside the OutSystems factory

AI converts your OML deterministically. Architects own the structure.

OML parsing

Our AI ingests your OutSystems OML files and builds a complete map of every entity, screen, business rule, integration, and data flow. Every artifact is logged and inspectable — nothing goes into the conversion as a black box.

High-code generation

The AI emits idiomatic, maintainable high-code in your chosen target stack — C#/.NET, Java/Spring, React, Node.js, or another modern framework. Senior architects review every structural decision. AI handles the volume; humans handle the judgment.

Equivalence testing

Before any cutover, the AI synthesizes behavioral tests that compare new system output against the live OutSystems system output. You migrate on a passing diff, not on faith.

Three engagement stages

We prove code quality before you commit to the full migration.

Start with a fixed-price diagnostic. If the conversion quality doesn't meet your bar, you owe nothing beyond the diagnostic fee.

Proof of Architecture Diagnostic

€25k – €50k

3–4 week turnaround · fee credited to full migration

Provide one medium-complexity OML module. We run it through the AI engine and deliver clean, idiomatic high-code with a full technical audit and performance benchmarks. You see the output quality before committing to anything larger.

Migration Factory

Fixed price

Typically 1.5× – 2× your annual OutSystems license cost

SLA-backed AI conversion of your entire OutSystems footprint into owned, maintainable high-code. Delivered in months, not years. Phased releases with parallel running. Cash-flow positive by Year 2.

Enablement & Residency

€20k / mo

6–12 month retainer

Architectural support to onboard your standard engineering team into the new codebase, CI/CD pipelines, and delivery cadence. We stay until your team owns it fully.

What you walk away with

Owned codebase. Zero licensing tax. Abundant talent.

100%
IP ownership — your code, your repo, no proprietary runtimes
Zero
Application Object licensing cost from Day 1 of cutover
3–5×
faster migration vs. a manual rewrite from a tier-1 SI
Year 2
cash-flow positive — migration cost recovered from eliminated license fees

Questions we get

Straight answers to the objections that come up first.

Do you just point an AI chatbot at our code and ask it to rewrite it?

No. We parse your OutSystems source into a complete structural map first — every entity, screen, business rule, and integration — deterministically, not by asking a model to guess what your code does. AI accelerates the generation step from that map; a senior architect reviews every structural decision; behavioral equivalence tests verify the result against your live system before any cutover.

What happens to our code and data during the process?

Your source and data are used only to produce your migration deliverables — never to train or fine-tune any AI model. Access is scoped to what a given phase actually needs, and production data access, where required at all, is time-boxed by agreement. Everything delivered is yours outright, with no ongoing dependency on us.

Does a human actually review this before it ships?

Yes, always. Every architecture decision, every equivalence-test result, and every cutover is reviewed and signed off by a senior architect before it reaches production. AI handles the volume; it doesn't approve its own work.

We're not ready to commit to a full migration — can we still talk?

That's what the feasibility opinion below is for. Send the basics and a senior architect will give you an honest read — including "this probably isn't worth it yet" if that's the honest answer — before any paid engagement.

Get a feasibility opinion

Tell us about your OutSystems estate. We'll tell you if replatforming makes sense.

No sales call required. Send the basics and a senior architect will reply with an honest read before you commit to a paid diagnostic.

Next step

Ready to end the licensing tax?

Start with the Proof of Architecture Diagnostic. Fixed price, 3–4 weeks, and the fee is credited against the full migration if you proceed. If our conversion quality doesn't meet your bar, you owe nothing more.
