Backend Data Integration with OutSystems
For organisations that need to modernise their applications and workflows, integrating data from existing systems into new software can be a major roadblock.
Whether it's established legacy data sources which can’t be changed or switched off, or data needing to be integrated from various sources, in various formats - all of this can make data integration a challenge for businesses.
Fortunately, low-code platforms like OutSystems can make connecting to, and using, back-end data simpler.
Video tutorial series
In the first of our video tutorial series, our very own OutSystems Champion, Stuart Harris shows how to integrate back-end data into the OutSystems platform using a nifty weather app demo. Watch the 5-minute video below to learn:
- How to create a database connection
- How to expose the data to tables and different views
- How to consume the data within the application.
We hope you find it useful, we’ll be sharing more tutorials about how to get the most from OutSystems across a range of scenarios - so stay tuned! In the meantime, we recommend testing OutSystems with a free personal environment. Sign up is simple and you can start building your first software project in minutes.

50% faster: how AI is transforming legacy system modernisation
Legacy systems are becoming increasingly costly to maintain and dangerously slow to adapt. As customer expectations grow and compliance requirements shift, traditional software development methods can’t keep up. AI-assisted development offers a new path forward, accelerating modernisation without compromising quality.
Is your system ready for AI-assisted modernisation?
Modernising legacy systems isn’t just a technical challenge, it’s a strategic decision that impacts your entire organisation. And with AI now transforming how modernisation happens, the question isn’t if you should modernise, but how to do it faster, safer, and more intelligently.
What to look for in a low-code partner (and what to avoid)
Low-code platforms like OutSystems are transforming how complex software is built - especially in regulated industries like government, healthcare, and financial services. But success with low-code isn’t guaranteed just because the platform is powerful. The difference between a successful project and a stalled one often comes down to the implementation partner.
