The ability to develop one single build for both
operation systems was a key success factor to
transform NOS’ digital ecosystem in 12 months
One-time build generation
Sharing components between different
teams accelerated the speed of
development
Components reuse
Development teams leveraged the OS community to
increase their knowledge faster and overcome issues
identified along the way
OutSystems community
In the last 12 months, NOS
launched three new mobile
apps, already with more than
400k users

App Cinemas NOS(8 months) App NOS(9 Months) App WTF(4 Months)
Developments in Silk were critical to personalize and excel in user experience and
interface in NOS digital touchpoints

During the development of new digital touchpoints, OutSystems integrations
with NOS internal systems were simple and quick
Mobile Balance
Show data consumption and allow for
balance pop-up in the digital servicing

Customer portfolios
Expose customer portfolios in the
front-ends, providing the ability to
manage services in-app

| NextStep
Nevertheless, there
were some
challenges along
the way
| NextStep
UI adjustments
Need to adapt UI via Silk in
order to be adjusted in
different mobile screens
Integration with
native plugins
Lack of information and
issues integrating with third
party native plugins, being
required to encapsulate in a
Cordova plugin
Lack of Native
features and clear
support info
Inability to implement native
features (e..g. force touch in
iOS and balance widget on
Android) or normal features
Deep links
Performance vs
native apps
Slower screen rendering and
transitions vs native apps
Some of the challenges the teams have been facing
