Leading Technology Solutions Supplier Will Present Middle East Case Studies

Dubai, 02 April, 2014 - OutSystems, a leading technology supplier for the development of enterprise applications, has announced their platinum sponsorship of the Gartner Symposium in Dubai, which is one of the world's most important gathering of CIOs and senior IT executives. Gartner Symposium/ ITxpo 2014 aims to deliver independent and objective content with the authority and weight of the world's leading IT research and advisory organization. OutSystems has sponsored and participated in various Gartner conferences worldwide, but this is their first participation in Dubai.

During the Gartner Symposium, OutSystems will dedicate their speaking session to a case study of their work for the Kuwaiti Ministry of Health. The case study will be told through the point-of-view of OutSystems client, the IT Director of Advanced Technology Company, Omar Shraim. Shraim will discuss the high-speed solution rollouts that OutSystems implemented within Kuwaiti hospitals. The solution helped integrate all applications within and between hospitals, making it easier for hospital personnel to access patient information. The OutSystems solution produced efficiency and reduced the margin of error in one of the most critical fields for Kuwait, providing an improved citizen experience to individuals using the public health care institutions in Kuwait.

Rodrigo Castelo, Director of OutSystems in Middle East and Africa, said that Shraim's presentation addresses the importance of the end-user experience and the fast rollout of solutions, running away from the lengthy developments and rollouts of the old days, which included requirements carved in complex legal documents no business user could understand.

Shraim adds that "The OutSystems Platform not only did a miraculous job in changing the way professionals deal with applications, data files and patient information in Kuwaiti hospitals, but OutSystems also delivered this solution in record time. Such innovative and ground-breaking platforms being used in the Middle East means that countries are taking the right steps into creating a more efficient, more advanced environment for the citizens of the region."

OutSystems is currently studying opportunities in which solutions developed by their platform can be created to assist in the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's vision of a smart city.
