In the world of low-level programming, integration with the very core processes of a system are the name of the game. OutSystems seeks to streamline this process by offering a suite of useful tools to add to a developer's arsenal. The software is very customizable and features a slew of pre-built, open source connectors. If that's not enough, a programmer can build a custom connector for use with pretty much any external process. The entire purpose of low-level software is integration, so OutSystems, as the name implies, can handle any system out there. Advanced users can even develop their own back end for the platform as a service in order to connect with popular cloud providers.
