OutSystems, an AI-driven low-code application development platform, in collaboration with Copper River Family of Companies, has received a three-year Authority to Operate (ATO) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The authorization allows applications built on the OutSystems platform to be deployed across all HHS agencies, accelerating the delivery of secure digital services. By removing the need for individual application-level authorizations, the ATO enables faster innovation while maintaining strict governance and compliance standards.
Luis Giraldo, RVP of Partner Alliances at OutSystems, stated, “Receiving an ATO is a testament to the security, scalability, and reliability of our platform. We are now able to provide HHS with a secure, agile environment to build applications that improve government efficiency.” The partnership aims to help HHS modernize legacy systems, automate workflows, and enhance citizen-facing services.
By using the OutSystems platform alongside Copper River’s federal technology expertise, HHS expects to reduce application development costs by up to 70%. Bill Halladay, President of Copper River, emphasized, “The OutSystems ATO at HHS is a game-changer. It significantly reduces the time and complexity of getting applications into production, allowing us to focus on what matters most: delivering tangible results and a higher return on investment for our clients at HHS.”
