Mendix to Showcase Rapid App Delivery for Telecom Companies at TM Forum Live!

Mendix App Platform has enabled telecom companies to rapidly deliver and future-proof custom apps for mobile self-service, channel portals, field services, credit management and more

BOSTON June 2, 2014 – Modern telecommunications companies need to innovate quickly to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving industry marked by technological change, growing competition and changing regulations. This theme will be front and center at the upcoming TM Forum Live! conference in Nice, France. Mendix, the enterprise app platform as a service company, will be there to demonstrate how it helps telecommunications companies transform their application delivery approach, allowing them to build new apps or extend existing OSS/BSS systems in a fraction of the time and cost.

The TM Forum Live! takes place June 2-5, 2014, at The Acropolis, in Nice, France. Mendix will be located at booth #78, showcasing the Mendix App Platform and how telecommunications customers such as KPN, Vodacom, Ziggo, Eurofiber, Broadvox and Plessey are rapidly delivering custom apps that help differentiate their offerings, streamline processes and meet growing customer demands.

“Telecommunications companies need an application delivery strategy that allows them to move as fast as their business — and stay ahead of competitors,” said Gottfried Sehringer, vice president of marketing for Mendix. “The Mendix App Platform has proven to be invaluable for development teams across telecom organizations to build and deploy secure, seamlessly integrated and multi-channel applications much more rapidly and aligned with business needs. We look forward to showcasing the Mendix App Platform and sharing success strategies for rapid application delivery with the telecom community at TM Forum Live!”

While telecom companies strive to deliver applications that increase productivity, improve customer service and drive revenue, they face a large number of barriers in the application development and delivery process. Siloed data sources, disconnected systems and constantly changing business models and needs can stall projects or, push them off the roadmap altogether.

The Mendix App Platform gives telecommunications companies the speed and flexibility they need to build, deploy and modify applications, while at the same time, doing this in a controlled, governed manner. Customers find that Mendix reduces time to market five times or more over traditional approaches thanks to drag-and-drop visual modeling capabilities for mapping complex business logic, process flows and integrations as well as one-click deployment. Mendix has been used across a global roster of telecom companies to build applications for mobile self-service, channel portals, field services, customer self-service, BSS/OSS extensions, credit management, inventory and maintenance management, and more.
