Insight Blog: When is the right time to invest in your technology?

Headwind or tailwind—when is the optimal time to invest?

You need to innovate in order to stay ahead of your ever-growing competition. You need to be nimble and quickly take advantage of opportunities. And if you fail, you need to fail fast and be agile enough to gain momentum from a tailwind; or remain steady in a headwind to stay on your trajectory.

Though it’s a natural instinct to rein in resources during a downturn, it’s often the ideal time to take market share. So, how do you take market share? Invest in technology that will help you:

• Innovate beyond your competition
• Position your product for long-term success
• Improve your employee and customer experience
• Decrease your time to market
• Fail fast and quickly recover, should you fail
• Win big, win often and win quickly should you do so
• Be ready to break out as headwinds turn into tailwinds

OutSystems is the industry leading low-code platform that can help you do all of the above. OutSystems helps you capture market share by creating innovative and evolving custom software. It allows you to be dynamic, stay current and take advantage of the latest technology to quickly deliver your “secret sauce” i.e., differentiating processes, apps, products and experiences. It enables you to extend your core systems, current platforms, and applications to improve digital experiences and increase the ROI from your technical ecosystem.

How OutSystems positions you for success:
