Mendix, a Siemens business and renowned leader in modern enterprise application development, announced that it has been recognized as a Leader in Gartner's 2022 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Low-Code Application Platforms (LCAPs). For the fourth consecutive time, Mendix has emerged as both a Leader and the company with the furthest edge in Completeness of Vision.
Low-code application platforms are increasingly popular among organizations seeking agility and rapid modernization of their application portfolio. According to the 2022 Gartner View from the Board of Directors Survey, 40% of boards of directors have allocated digital-business-related budgets to the business unit to fast-track digitalization. Gartner also predicts that by 2025, 70% of new applications developed by enterprises will use low-code or no-code technologies, up from less than 25% in 2020.
Mendix’s position in the LCAPs Leader quadrant highlights its unique platform offering, addressing pain points across the software development lifecycle. With its enterprise-grade platform, Mendix empowers organizations with agility and tools to tackle diverse development use cases. Moreover, Mendix's Digital Execution Practice helps customers achieve their digital transformation goals, powered by its low-code platform.
Fostering collaboration between the IT and business departments is at the core of Mendix's platform. The Mendix Platform is designed to support the increasingly diverse and fluid developer spectrum in modern enterprises. It brings together developers via out-of-the-box collaboration capabilities, resulting in improved cooperation and reduced project rework. The platform offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, AI-assisted development, real-time communication, and robust, patent-pending version control.
Furthermore, Mendix enables organizations to connect enterprise data fabric between systems, automate and optimize processes, and streamline cloud operations and deployments. The company supports its Leader position with a rapidly expanding ecosystem of expert partners, independent software vendors, global systems integrators, and the Mendix Marketplace. This marketplace offers an integrated platform to access packaged capabilities, templated solutions, tailored components, and collaboration opportunities with the Mendix partner community.
Rob de Leeuw, Global Lead of Business Engineering at academic publishing company Springer Nature, commented on their experience with Mendix, stating that the platform met their extensive needs and use cases while simplifying their tech stack and the skills required. The Mendix Marketplace and expert ecosystem accelerated their solution building process and improved development.
