Case Study: STEMCELL achieves 3x faster app development and eliminates backlog with OutSystems

STEMCELL Accelerates App Dev with Reusable Modules, Low-Code Templates, and Youth Talent

STEMCELL Technologies, a global biotech that supports life-science researchers, faced a growing IT burden: a 17-application backlog of aging, hard-to-maintain systems built in disparate technologies, a small apps team and hiring challenges that created specialist silos and slowed delivery.

STEMCELL adopted OutSystems low-code in 2017, standardizing on reusable templates, modules and Forge components and training interns to expand capacity. The team eliminated the backlog, now runs 10+ production apps (with more pending), develops roughly three times faster, and made developers interchangeable—delivering solutions like a COVID “My Status” app overnight and improving collaboration, agility and cost-efficiency.
