The Mendix Agile Business Platform™ is an agile application and collaboration platform that improves business agility by streamlining business operations, reducing risk and decreasing cost.
In July Mendix launched the industry’s first agile App Store, enabling users worldwide to share agile development components. Fueled by the Mendix online community, which maintains its lead as a resource for agile developers, the App Store offers a one-stop shop to gain access to leading applications, plug ins and application solution needs for most organizations.
Mendix released version 2.5 of The Mendix Agile Business Platform™ in 2010, offering it as a service (PaaS) in the cloud. The new version of the Mendix Agile Business Platform™ enables businesses of all sizes to optimize business-IT collaboration. The platform uses a unique visual modeling technology to rapidly build and manage applications that smoothly integrate with existing systems.
“We are happy with our 2010 growth but more importantly, we are extremely excited about seeing our community of partners and users flourish,” said Derek Roos, CEO of Mendix. “Seeing such a rapid population of our App Store and such a significant growth of our community clearly shows the value of the platform for agile teams.”
Mendix is so easy to deploy, the company also made a trial version of its product available to the general public, enabling users to experience firsthand the benefits of its agile platform. The speed and simplicity at which applications are being deployed and managed is unprecedented, both on site and in the cloud. Independent research has proven that applications can be built five times faster on the Mendix platform than via traditional models.
