Mendix
Mendix, a Siemens business, provides a visual low-code platform that lets business stakeholders and developers collaborate to build and deploy enterprise web and mobile applications faster.
Mendix provides a visual low-code application development platform designed to close the gap between business needs and IT delivery. By abstracting complex coding into visual modeling, the platform allows business stakeholders and developers to collaborate on the same artefacts and to create and deploy web and mobile applications at scale. The stated aim is to compress enterprise application delivery from months or years into far shorter build cycles.
The company's customers include Ford, Zurich Insurance and Red Bull, and the platform is used across financial services, manufacturing, retail and the public sector. It addresses a problem that Mendix frames in economic terms: enterprises forgo millions in opportunity costs each year while waiting for custom software. Technical work at the firm spans low-code application development, visual modeling, web and mobile development, enterprise software and tooling for business-IT collaboration.
Mendix became a Siemens business when it was acquired in 2018, combining its low-code approach with enterprise-grade resources. It operates on a global basis. The company describes a mission-driven culture that values diverse perspectives, favours craftsmanship over speed and is committed to democratizing software development. Continuous innovation is supported by monthly "Crafting Days" set aside for experimentation.
