The benefits
of Mendix

Making a difference with IT is a goal countless companies are pursuing. But in reality, most IT departments can just about keep up with the switch to digital products & services, let alone deal with the demands of the business. 

It’s no surprise then that the wishlist of the latter is vast, while the IT budget isn’t. It’s usually just enough to cover the day-to-day running costs of the systems. 

To save both your overworked developers and fuel the business at the same time, Mendix comes to the rescue. Within weeks—a fraction of the standard development time & budget—your teams can create a minimum viable product from scratch. And speed is just one of the many benefits Mendix has to offer. 

What makes Mendix so quick?

The potent combination of Agile project management, visual modelling, drag & drop workflows, social productivity features, enterprise process integration, ready-made apps from the Mendix App Store and scalable, secure cloud infrastructure. This enables small teams to build business applications in days/weeks instead of months/years.

Modelling is the new coding. You don’t need to be a developer to use Mendix. Build multi-channel applications at a record pace using visual modelling. It allows you to speed up development considerably. Built-in modules and templates ensure you don’t have to write all those lines of code from scratch.

Benefit 4: a single application for all devices!

Stop building separate mobile applications. Start developing beautiful applications that work on multiple devices regardless of screen size. Mendix is the calm, responsive centre in the chaotic, fast-changing world of mobile apps & devices. 

Benefit 5: extend current systems

Seamlessly add new features to your current application landscape. Mendix’s integration options range from adding completely new features to connecting to systems of supply chain partners. It seamlessly integrates with software from any supplier, significantly enhances the adaptability of your IT landscape and improves the flexibility of your organisation.

Examples? Mendix seamlessly integrates with SAP, Salesforce and SharePoint.

Benefit 6: smart apps

Make your apps more intelligent, proactive and contextual. Business applications have become increasingly advanced in the last decade, from web to mobile to multichannel apps. Despite this, many applications remain passive pending user input.

IoT, big data and machine learning are changing the next generation of business applications. Smart apps help innovative digital companies using:

• Intelligence. They guide users to take the next best course of action through recommendations.
• Proactivity. They predict what is likely to happen and start workflows that tell users what to do when.
• Contextualisation. They are personalised, aware of user location and embedded within processes.
