Mendix

Great application and I recommended. We were using Siebel Application and it was causing us a lot of problems, especially with user experience and design. It was so hard to add links or new files or widgets, but we now just use Mendix and all problems are solved easily.

Mendix is used by a particular department which builds Mobile inventory management tool for KPN. Initially Mendix was a boon for development. The application was building at light speed. But as the scale of the application increased after Mendix 5.x the performance degraded.

Mendix has been chosen as our strategic platform for cross application development. We are SAP System Integrator and when we found that Mendix has been included within the SAP Cloud Platform we recognised that the product had to be right for us. Added to this, the speed of development and the ease of deployment to multiple platforms (especially as a PaaS/SaaS product), was especially important to Business on Demand. The ability to deploy mobile apps without replication or online data access across both major mobile platforms without deep technical knowledge of the developer tools is vital to us.

We have been using the Mendix platform for delivering RAD applications for the last 3+ years. We use it to rapidly develop Mode 2 Bi-modal consumer grade applications on desktop, tablet and mobile in various companies and industries. Due to the rapid development nature of Mendix, it shines where business requirements are unclear as you can develop ideas quickly and change direction when you realise your idea is not fit for purpose.

The platform is built based on the Agile Software delivery model. The platform offers segregated areas for managing the Collaboration, Development, Deployment and Operational aspects of your project. This means that you don’t need to invest in other Agile platforms if your company has not done so already. You are good to go with your Agile projects from the get go. The development modeller integrates with the platform to make deployment just a few clicks away. Issue identification is easy as the feedback mechanism in the application enables users to show exactly where in the application the problem happens and under what circumstances.

It compliments ERP solutions very well thanks to the ease of integration through direct database connections, REST and SOAP.

Mendix offers pre-built connectors for Internet of Things, Machine Learning, Cognitive Services, Predictive Analytics and others making the build of context sensitive smart apps a lot easier. It also allows you to connect to other systems through REST/SOAP or any third party database through the Database Connector.

There are a large number of deployment options available - from on-premise, private cloud and public cloud options through its membership of the Cloud Foundry initiative.

Mendix is used by HR internally and used for financial and non-financial apps. Mobile business applications are developed to meet the needs of customers. This is done in sprints, delivering product functionality and improving the software each time, depending on business demands.

Mendix is an awesome platform to develop your application with lightning speed. It's a wonderful way to integrate with different interfaces. Mendix had been used to develop a complete bureau integrated hosted credit origination's application. It's used by professional services.

As a Mendix partner, we also use Mendix to support internal business processes. The first internal app we built with Mendix was a support portal in which our customers can register support calls and follow their progress. The second app we built was an expenses app that is available on both desktop and mobile. The big advantage to creating Mendix apps is that you can build exactly what you want. You don't need to change your business processes because your "standard" software cannot support them.

We have been using the Mendix platform as a basis of our own Service Management application and implemented the application at numerous customer sites. More and more we learned the capabilities of the platform and started using and promoting it for the developement of other customer applications, form small mobile apps to large fully integrated systems.

Mendix is one of the main technologies we implement for clients in many different ways and sizes. From small applications replacing Excel sheets and other basic implementations to full blown migrations of existing software packages. We also use Mendix for clients to combine it with our partners DMM tool Avola Decisions, creating applications for straight-through-processing and dynamic case management.

We brought Mendix in to replace some of our legacy systems. We also needed to design a UI that is efficient and easy to use for our end users. From an IT perspective we wanted to increase our speed to market. So it not only addresses a business need but a technology need.

We use Mendix across our organization to help customers in their business needs. With the use of Mendix it is possible to make (web) applications in a short time window. Mendix is a low coding platform, a term that is very popular these days. It is possible for anyone, even if they don't have an IT-background, to make apps for your customers. Of course, for the hardcore developers, there are challenges. The good thing about Mendix is that you don't have to keep your customers waiting for a year of development. In a matter of days, you can show your app to your customers!

The Singh Center for Nanotechnology at the University of Pennsylvania is a state-of-the-art research building located in Philadelphia. It provides open access to equipment for fabricating and characterizing devices and materials at the micro- and nanoscale. In mid-2014, we employed Mendix in the cloud and built an application that encompasses lifecycle management of our researcher affiliates. The application, which we named IRIS (instrument reservation & interlocking system), is utilized by approximately 600 researchers from industry and academia for accessing equipment in our Center. Previously, we utilized primitive notebook and spreadsheet systems when managing, for example, monthly billing of researchers. The latter task required days of manual data entry and working with antiquated scripts that were not robust. Within a few months of deploying IRIS, we were able to complete this task in a matter of minutes in a completely automated fashion.

Kermit is a SaaS solution for hospitals to manage their knee, hip, spine and cardio implant spend built on Mendix. Kermit is the second business where I've used Mendix; the first was for custom application development of a customer billing application in the logistics industry. Our current Mendix application supports our hospital customers by analyzing vendor invoices being created by implant utilization in the operating room, but prior to their arrival in purchasing for payment. Kermit informs hospital supply chain and purchasing about the accuracy of invoices through price audit and contract compliance business and clinical rules. Kermit also categorizes all implants used and we feed the audited and categorized data set to another third party business intelligence tool to create data visualizations and analytic views. We commercialize the Mendix app by charging a subscription fee to our customers for access.

At Mansystems we use Mendix as the platform of choice to deliver solutions to our customers. Six years ago, a team of three people including myself rebuilt our service management solution, ExpertDesk completely in Mendix. In three months we had the basics and in nine months we were ready to go to market. After this period we sold and implemented ExpertDesk a lot. To support ExpertDesk better we developed tooling for the Mendix platform. Using our experience we also started doing Mendix projects other than ExpertDesk.
At this point in time Mendix is selling our automated testing solution (ATS) and our application performance monitor and we are developing those tools further together with Mendix.
And we have a healthy professional services business around Mendix.

We use the Mendix platform to speed up our development. With Mendix we can focus on the processes instead of the technology. We use Mendix in our organization to manage client data (hosting details, user accounts, services, contracts and integration with third party software). Because Mendix is flexible, we can quickly integrate new feature requests from our sales and support department. This allows us to serve our customers in the best possible way.

At Daywize we use Mendix as our development platform to build our HR solution. We first used the Cordys platform before that but that was no success. The Mendix platform is ideal to develop quickly. This way we can build a standard solution, but still are able to adjust our product to our specific client needs. This way 80% of a certain module is the same for all our customers but we always change that last 20% to accommodate specific client needs. Mendix helps us also to connect to other systems to get data in or out. SOAP, Rest webservices or OData services are built easily and importing or exporting from or to Excel is a breeze. The openness of the Mendix system is a real bonus. And because you develop in a graphic environment you can make a business process visible so you can discuss the result with the business owner. You can truly develop in days instead of weeks or months.
