Mendix Recognized in Three Gartner Reports on Application Development and Architecture

Analysts reference Mendix in recent reports citing significant productivity gains and fast returns

BOSTON – October 5, 2011 – Mendix, the leading application platform-as-a-service (PaaS) provider, announced today that it has received recognition in three separate Gartner reports. The reports were: 1) IT Market Clock for Application Development, 2011; 2) Hype Cycle for Application Architecture, 2011; and 3) Hype Cycle for Application Development, 2011.

Published by one of the IT industry’s premier analyst firms, the reports forecast Mendix and similar technologies entering a mainstream adoption phase. Mendix had previously been named a “Gartner Cool Vendor.”

The Mendix Agile Business Platform enables business change by simplifying collaboration between business and IT through the use of application development methods cited in the Gartner reports. The IT Market Clock for Application Development specifically stated that application and development managers should be able to see returns in less than 12 months when using such technologies.  “These findings are consistent with the results our customers have seen, and we are obviously pleased to be placed into high impact categories by such a recognized and respected research firm,” said Paul Campaniello, Vice President of Worldwide Marketing at Mendix.

Using the Mendix Agile Business Platform, companies can plan, develop and deploy applications that seamlessly integrate with existing systems at approximately half the cost of traditional software development platforms. These applications can then be deployed in the Mendix cloud or locally at the customer’s site.
