Service-oriented Business Applications made Easy

Mendix delivers a powerful, model-driven engineering platform that provides tools and architecture to model, build, test, integrate, deploy, manage and optimize Service-Oriented Business Applications (SOBA) in any existing Business or IT environment. Unlike other platforms, Mendix allows business analysts to actively take part in the development cycle -translating business models into executable components that are easily adaptable and assembled automatically into a personalized web application.

Mendix Model Driven Application PLatform

The Mendix framework consists of the following key components:

Mendix Business Modeler:	an innovative (DSL) modeling studio aimed at the optimal cooperation between business & IT professionals
_
Mendix Business Server:	the true heart of the Mendix platform: an open and standards-based run-time environment for executing models from the Mendix Business Modeler.Mendix Business Server includes a rich set of out-of-the-box, enterprise-class capabilities such as an extensive integration layer, event management, a process engine, business rules engine, reporting server, scalability, robust performance, security, service interface, search, LDAP, JSR-168 & WSRP, audit trails & more. If needed, the Business Server is easily extended and integrated with open source frameworks, custom code or third-party technology.
_
Mendix Teamserver:	a very useful extension to the Business Modeler for multi-user and distributed development teams. Includes versioning, testing, reporting and advanced deployment capabilities.
_
Mendix Webclient:	a very flexible and sophisticated AJAX-based Webclient with its own caching and event mechanisms, a well-documented API for custom widgets and an ingenious context based messaging interface. Includes a rich library of widgets (e.g. advanced data grids, tabs, trees, graphs and calendars), and is visually configured from the Business Modeler.

Principles

The Model = The Application

Mendix introduces a radical innovation in application development: human-readable business models that are directly deployed to the business server without the side-step of generating code. With Mendix, building new applications becomes an easy configuration task. Not only does this allow business analysts and developers to work effectively together by visually defining applications, it also increases application agility and quality, together with a significant decrease of development lead-times.

Agile Software Development

Most architectures, requirements, improvements and designs emerge from existing IT systems. With Mendix, it is possible to alter applications to changing requirements, even in a late stage of the development process, by easily altering the models that define the application. Common services like security, workflow management, event management, business rule management and integration are regulated and handled by the Mendix platform.

Equipping the Business Analyst

Our goal is to equip business analysts, process owners, developers and system architects with an integrated modeling and application framework that empowers them to effectively work together in designing, building and maintaining scalable applications that are highly user-friendly, secure and future-proof by easy adaptability to changing business requirements.

Application quality, performance & scalability

Technically, we don’t generate code, we interpret the model. This also means Mendix enables automatic quality-, regression- and consistency management. To ensure run-time performance the Mendix platform is built with scability and distributed networks in mind.

360˚ integration

Mendix supports a wide variety of integration scenarios, meaning Mendix apps can easily be integrated with existing databases, files, middleware, applications, Web services and enterprise portals.
