Mendix Obtains SAP Certification for Agile ERP extensions

Mendix, the leading agile software development platform is now certified to integrate applications on top of SAP Enterprise Resource Planning systems. The Mendix platform, known worldwide for its speed and flexibility, now adds SAP Certification for Integration with SAP NetWeaver to its list of certifications. Mendix on top of SAP offers the advantage of flexible extensions of these systems in order to increase business agility.

Whereas SAP provides industry-standard ERP software that give customers the ability to automate many generic processes, today’s business environment fuel demand for additional web applications that add functionality quickly and cost effectively. By unlocking valuable data within ERP systems, investments in preexisting IT environments gain renewed value.

Derek Roos, CEO of Mendix, sees a growing trend in companies trying to get the most out of aging information technology: “More and more SAP customers are turning to Mendix for web applications with quick time-to-market that leverage their ERP investments. This certification by SAP only underlines the complimentary value and technical solidity of our approach.”

Web applications built on the Mendix platform can be deployed in days or weeks, rather than months or quarters. Initial cost savings generated by the speed of development are dramatic. Intrinsic to the platform’s innovative business modeler, Mendix enjoys a track record of 100% requirements attainment due to superior collaboration between business and IT.

SAP solutions customized using the Mendix Agile Business Suite deliver the additional benefit of integrating systems along the value chain quickly and easily. Mendix unlocks these systems for more flexible utilization.

In the recovery of a global economic downturn, maximizing ROI on software investments is of great importance to organizations of all sizes and geographies. Management at Mendix expects continued growth in demand of software that increases ‘Business Agility’ by renewing value in old IT investments.

SAP certificeert Mendix software voor flexibel ERP maatwerk

SAP heeft deze maand het Mendix Platform officieel gecertificeerd voor integratie met SAP ERP-systemen. De SAP-certificering stelt SAP-gebruikers in staat om hun systeem snel en eenvoudig uit te breiden met flexibele en gebruiksvriendelijke webapplicaties. Data in SAP kan nu eenvoudig worden ontsloten via moderne portal applicaties, die makkelijk aan te passen zijn aan dynamische processen.

Derek Roos, CEO van Mendix, constateert een groeiende trend in bedrijven die het maximale rendement willen halen uit bestaande systemen: “We zien steeds meer klanten die kiezen voor een hybride oplossing, waarbij een standaard ERP- of CRM pakket wordt uitgebreid met flexibel, webbased maatwerk, bij voorkeur in de cloud. In plaats van bestaande systemen aan te passen, wordt gekozen voor een oplossing als Mendix, en kan er op die manier sneller en tegen lagere kosten ingespeeld worden op nieuwe behoeften vanuit de business. Deze SAP-certificering bevestigt onze complementaire waarde en de technische kwaliteit van onze aanpak.”
