Developing and deploying your applications in a hybrid cloud environment is only half the battle. Once your apps are up and running across multiple clouds, many issues arise that can affect the health of your code, whether you’re dealing with on-premise management or cloud vendors.

Enterprises don’t have to sacrifice control in the continuous monitoring of their apps just because they are working across a variety of cloud providers. It just requires planning, a remediation strategy, and the right tools.

Join this web seminar to learn the best practices and tools to ensure that you’re monitoring your business-critical applications and deploying timely remediation strategies.

In this interactive webinar you will:

1. The nuanced security threats associated with cloud-based development
2. How successful enterprises are mitigating these threats with private cloud architectures
3. Best practices for securely developing and deploying applications on the cloud

How Do You Know If An Application Is Successful?

By the level of engagement, usability, and rate of adoption.

BUT … None of that works without a modern UX—think swiping left and right, or a built-in chat, or less flashy features like common-sense functionality for menus.

But implementing those modern features can create hard-coding nightmares, leaving your apps out of style, your users frustrated, and your business behind the competition.

Building a modern UX requires a modern approach, and in this webinar, the presenters will explore how low-code helps you do exactly that.

They will take a look at a new approach to UX-first delivery with low-code where iterations with users are highly compressed, and product teams gain new superpowers to deliver great experiences with limited resources.

Topics will include:

• Why UX is important and how it’s impacting your digital transformation
• What it means when we say “modern UX”
• How low-code platforms can deliver a modern UX without sacrificing app delivery times

Presenters:

Gonçalo Borrêga (LinkedIn profile) Head of Product, OutSystems

João Grazina (LinkedIn profile) Product Manager, OutSystems

Rachel Bates (LinkedIn profile) Associate Product Manager, bswift
