Mendix Customers Solomon Group and Georgetown University to Showcase the Value of Low-Code Platforms in Cloud Foundry Summit Keynote
BOSTON – June 7, 2017 – Mendix, the fastest and easiest platform for creating and continuously improving mobile and web applications, announced its customers Solomon Group and Georgetown University will participate in a keynote panel at the upcoming Cloud Foundry Summit. The panel, “Cloud Foundry and Low-Code: The Whole is Greater than the Sum of its Parts,” will highlight how these organizations have changed the way they deliver applications, accelerating time to business value.
Who: Panelists include:
- Beth Ann Bergsmark, Assistant Vice President for Academic Systems and Chief Enterprise Architect, Georgetown University
- Jonathan Foucheaux, Partner and Co-Founder, Solomon Group
- Johan den Haan, CTO, Mendix
What: Solomon Group and Georgetown University will share how the Mendix platform enables them to innovate by taking applications from ideas to production faster and easier than traditional development approaches. Attendees will gain insight into how low-code development platforms empower a continuum of users, from professional to citizen developers, as well as how to accelerate each stage of the application lifecycle to enable continuous innovation at scale.
Where: Cloud Foundry Summit, Santa Clara Convention Center (SCCC) Hall CD
When: Thursday, June 15th, 9:50-10:30 a.m. PDT
Why: Although cloud platforms like Cloud Foundry have greatly simplified application deployment and management, developing cloud-native apps is still challenging and time-consuming. With business demand for app development growing five times faster than IT capacity to deliver, enterprise IT teams must embrace new approaches to increase their application development velocity.
