For teams running OutSystems 11
ODC migration: mostly manual work.
What the ODC conversion involves
OutSystems Developer Cloud runs on a new architecture. OutSystems automates the readiness assessment, but most conversion work stays manual. In the end, your apps do exactly what they do today.
Plan your exit
Meanwhile, you pay for O11 and ODC until the last app moves. On large portfolios, that overlap runs 18 to 36 months. And ODC still licenses by Application Objects. If you're putting in the work anyway, put it into a migration that leaves you better off.
Why migrate to Betty Blocks
Migrate app by app. Keep your governance.
With AI Application Generation, you migrate to Betty Blocks without rebuilding screen by screen. You describe what each app does. Betty Blocks generates it with governance built in.

How a migration works
Migrate one app at a time. Keep OutSystems running until you're done.
You set the pace. Each app goes live on Betty Blocks before you switch off its OutSystems version.
What you walk away with
You spend 30 minutes with a Betty Blocks solution architect. Bring your app list. You leave with a plan you can use, whether you migrate or not.
Frequently Asked Questions
Isn't migrating riskier than converting to ODC?
Both options move your apps to a new architecture. The difference is control. You migrate one app at a time, keep OutSystems running, and switch each app over only when the new version passes your tests.
Will we lose the governance we have today?
No. DTAP, RBAC, audit logging and CI/CD come with every app Betty Blocks generates. Business users and IT build in the same controlled environment, with permissions and approvals set centrally.
Our team knows OutSystems. Do they start over?
No. Your team builds with prompts and visual tools in the browser, with business and IT side by side. Their skills in data models, integrations and governance carry straight over.
How is this different from a traditional AI consulting firm?
Betty Blocks connects to SAP, Oracle, Salesforce and Workday, plus any system with an open API. MCP servers connect your apps to AI agents under the same governance. We map your integrations in the session.
Do we have to migrate everything at once?
No. You start with one app and migrate the rest at your own pace. Apps you don't want to move can stay on OutSystems or retire.
Isn't there an O11 end date in 2029?
No. OutSystems' current terms set no end date for O11 and promise at least five years' notice before that changes. You have time. Use it to decide where your apps go next.
