Makers are building the digital university

Mendix helps colleges and universities put their digital transformation on the fast track

Facing the digital challenge

Web and mobile applications have quickly become critical assets for colleges and universities looking to stay current. However, with 79% of IT resources focused on maintaining existing systems, many schools struggle to deliver the applications that will help accelerate their digital journey and meet the ever growing demands of students and staff members.

Whether to streamline operations, or to enable new campus services, Mendix’s application platform allows higher education institutions to build what they need in a much faster and more collaborative manner.

It was essential that we delivered this app quickly and cost effectively. Traditional development would have been anywhere from 6 to 12 months. Mendix fit within our budget and we were able to get our application up and running in just a few weeks.
