An "OutSystems partner in India" is usually one of two things: a company in OutSystems' official partner program (listed in the partner directory on the OutSystems website), or an OutSystems development company that provides certified developers and delivers projects. If you need licences, talk to OutSystems or an authorised reseller. If you need people to build, extend or maintain your apps, compare official partners and independent specialists such as AWT on certifications, production experience and references.
Key takeaways
- "OutSystems partner" can mean a company in OutSystems' official partner program, or simply a company that delivers OutSystems work. Decide which one you actually need.
- Licences come from OutSystems or an authorised reseller. Developers, teams and projects can come from an official partner or an independent OutSystems specialist.
- Judge any OutSystems company on certifications, production experience, tech leadership and references, not on labels.
- India offers a large certified talent pool, lower cost and timezone overlap with the US, UK, Europe, the Middle East and APAC.
What does "OutSystems partner" mean?
Buyers use the word "partner" in two different ways, and mixing them up is the most common reason searches for an OutSystems partner end in the wrong conversation.
- Official OutSystems partners are companies enrolled in OutSystems' partner program. OutSystems lists them in the partner directory on its website, and that directory is the reliable place to check a company's status.
- Delivery partners are any companies that build OutSystems applications or provide OutSystems developers for you. Some are official partners; many are independent OutSystems specialists with certified developers.
Both can deliver excellent work. What matters is matching the company to the job you need done.
Licences or delivery: who should you talk to?
| What you need | Who to talk to |
|---|---|
| Buy or renew OutSystems licences | OutSystems directly, or an authorised OutSystems reseller in your region |
| Build or modernise an application | An official OutSystems partner or an independent OutSystems development company |
| Add certified developers to your team | An OutSystems staff augmentation provider |
| Extra OutSystems capacity for your own clients (IT companies) | A white-label OutSystems subcontractor |
| Train your own people | An OutSystems training provider |
How to choose an OutSystems company in India
- Certifications you can verify. Ask for the certifications of the actual people who will work on your project, not company-wide totals alone.
- Production experience. Ask which live applications they built, on which platform version (OutSystems 11 or ODC), and what they owned.
- Tech leadership. Check that experienced tech leads or architects review architecture, performance and code quality.
- Integrations. Most enterprise apps connect to ERP, CRM, SSO and databases. Ask for examples.
- Timezone overlap. Agree daily overlap hours with your team before you start.
- Engagement model. Staff augmentation, a dedicated team or a fixed-bid project. See how the models compare.
- Contracts and confidentiality. MSA, SOW and NDA in place before project details are shared.
- References. Speak to a current client with a similar project.
