Mendix – Low Code Development

What is Mendix

Created with low code architecture in mind, Mendix is a collaborative development platform for the creation of mobile and web applications. This platform is a support in the construction of applications in the most varied areas and business sectors, according to the companies’ scalability. With innovation and business growth capacity, Mendix is designed to accelerate the solution development cycle, from programming to product implementation.

Why does your company needs a low code solution
like Mendix?

Faster implementation times

The main objective of a low code solution is to accelerate and optimise implementation times, both for a website or an app. With a solution of this type of architecture, organisations can design new software in days or weeks, instead of months, as may be the case with conventional programming. According to studies, a project developed using a low code solution can be ten times faster than traditional solutions, because the programmers will be more focused on business requirements and on how they develop the solution, and not so much on technical issues.

Increased business agility

A low code solution will introduce your organisation to new agility standards, as new, more effective and above all faster ways of meeting and responding to daily challenges are made possible with this type of technological architecture. The compatibility proposed by this solution increases the companies’ responsiveness to the needs that may emerge.

Higher productivity levels

Low-code development can also mean a more available platform for automation processes. This means, in practice, optimised workflows that require less and less human intervention. For the business, this will mean greater consistency, agility and efficiency of operation, freeing teams to refocus their efforts on their core activities.

More innovation

Technological innovation is increasingly becoming a competitive differential among companies. Therefore, there has been a growing demand for new ways of developing interactive products that are digitally disruptive. Many times, the complexity of the systems and the limited development capacity may leave the quality of a new software below what is expected. Thus, investing in low code platforms allows for a model-based approach, rather than traditional code writing, which makes building new solutions faster, more reactive and, therefore, placed on the market more quickly.

Flexible investment costs

When compared to traditional programming, the costs associated with a low code solution are considerably lower for some particularities that only a technology of this type can provide to your company. Due to the existence of previously built modules, a new software built in low code will never have to be completely built from scratch, avoiding the expense of a new structure, and the expertise of highly qualified programmers.
In short, it is possible to produce more applications in less time and with a smaller investment.

Easy to maintain

Once a new software development is completed and delivered, maintenance is required for the proper functioning of the technological application. Potential bugs may occur, lines of code to remove or add, and above all security updates. If the solution is built via a low code platform, both interface and security upgrades are assured, which means a reduction in the interventions needed to ensure the application's compatibility with all devices and systems.

Greater compatibility with cloud environment

To develop in low code is to best prepare your business for the future. Most of these platforms are located in cloud or have the option to be placed there. Looking objectively at the evolution of processing and storage environments in the cloud, the trend for the future points to the growth of investment by companies in the cloud, increasingly aware of the importance of processing power and security that this type of environment can offer.

What are the advantages of using Mendix technology in your projects

Constant platform updates

Constant platform updates

Behind a revolutionary low-code solution is a team that is constantly at work, looking for new performance and security improvements that can be put into production. This means that your company can count on regular updates to ensure process innovation.

More innovation with faster implementation

Central management on a single platform enables faster development times, which leads to more efficient implementations. From idea conception to implementation, everything is done in a single application.

The technology's philosophy is supported by strong foundations

The technology's philosophy is supported by strong foundations

The Mendix technology comes to the technology market with strong foundations based on principles such as speed, collaboration and management. This technology has been created thinking about the friction that exists in the creation and management of companies' technological investments. Through micro-flows, instead of traditional programming, organisations can experience a development up to ten times faster. On the other hand, it is through visual models combined with agile principles that their teams will be able to reach new collaboration rhythms. For management, it means greater control in the management of SLAs, with ensured security protocols and performance, and monitored maintenance costs.

Developing applications in visual mode

Developing applications in visual mode

Some say that modelling is the new coding. With Mendix, deep and too specific knowledge of technology is not necessary, which in many cases is scarce in the market and delays the development of a new solution. Through visual modelling, development is also faster thanks to the use of modules, thus avoiding building from scratch, which makes the solution more efficient.

Strategic takeover by Siemens

Once acquired by the Siemens tech company in 2018, the foundations of this low code platform become even more solid with a long-term vision, as the German giant plans to have all its cloud applications developed on Mendix, with the aim of enabling data sharing on any device, anywhere, thus manifesting a clearly collaborative position towards the low code development philosophy.

Cloud-native solution

Investing in a cloud solution means being ahead of time and anticipating change, with a new trend that has already shown clear signs of setting in. Investing in a one-off solution could mean a short space of time before systems become obsolete and digitally rudimentary.

Customer web portals B2C Applications SaaS Applications Microservices
Customer web portals

Customer web portals

Increasingly recurrent in corporate strategy, web portals aim to automate flows and operations. Through them, your customers can take spontaneous actions without the need for employee intervention. A low code solution like Mendix allows you to structure dynamic applications with efficient flows, appealing designs and intuitive navigation.

B2C Applications

B2C Applications

Mobile applications aim to attract new customers and retain current ones through an experience that aims to maximise customer satisfaction. But sometimes, the need to build different versions that respond to different compatibilities between systems may drive companies away or hinder development. Due to its simple programming and as an interactive platform, Mendix presents itself as an effective solution to build native applications for Android and iOS.

Microservices

Microservices

With increasing expression in the corporate sector, microservices work as small applications that are architecturally created and implemented independently, so that an eventual failure does not interrupt the rest of the operation, since it operates autonomously. A dynamic solution like Mendix can respond effectively, accelerating the development of this type of applications.

SaaS Applications

SaaS Applications

SaaS, or Software as a Service, is more present in our days than we realise. From email service, to calendars and Office tools, there are more and more applications, paid or otherwise, with cloud hosting and access through any device connected to the internet. With a low code tool like Mendix, it is possible to develop, test and implement SaaS quickly, representing a lower operational cost, since the visual and collaborative component of the platform allows you to optimise the time to solve eventual problems and technical issues, using it to understand the project requirements and design the solution.
