BOSTON, Oct. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mendix, which
offers an easy-to-use platform to create and continuously improve
enterprise applications, today announced its largest quarter ever,
with 150 percent global bookings growth compared to Q3 2016, driven
by 217 percent growth in North
America and 198 percent growth in the UK. More than 4,000
global organizations such as Kuehne + Nagel, Philips, Prudential
Life Assurance, SUEZ, USAlliance and Zurich, are now using the Mendix platform to
create, deploy and manage apps to improve customer experiences,
increase operational efficiency, and modernize their legacy
systems.
Mendix also announced a global reseller agreement with SAP
(NYSE: SAP). Through this agreement, SAP will resell and support
the Mendix platform under the name SAP® Cloud Platform Rapid
Application Development by Mendix, allowing customers to build
custom applications on SAP Cloud Platform much faster than
traditional development approaches.
"We are energized by the success of our customers and by the new
opportunities offered through our agreement with SAP," said
Derek Roos, CEO at Mendix. "Mendix
continues to be the only Low-Code Platform with a sophisticated,
cloud-native architecture, and our deep support for the open cloud
ecosystem is helping enterprises deliver digital innovation with
unprecedented speed, collaboration and control."
Highlights of the quarter include:
Enterprise Momentum
- Bookings Growth – Mendix celebrated its largest
bookings quarter ever with 217 percent year-over-year growth in
North America and 198 percent
year-over-year growth in the UK.
- Partner Ecosystem Expansion – Mendix announced an
agreement with SAP, under which SAP will resell and support the
Mendix platform under the name SAP Cloud Platform Rapid Application
Development by Mendix. Running on SAP Cloud Platform, this solution
offers tight integration with SAP systems, data and services,
helping enterprises unlock even greater business value from their
investments in SAP software.
- Developer Community Growth – The Mendix developer
community continued its strong growth with more than 30,000
downloads, and 26 universities across the globe now teaching Mendix
as part of their curriculum.
Technology Leadership
- Kubernetes deployment – Mendix extended its breadth of
cloud-native deployment options, becoming the first low-code
platform to support Kubernetes. Customers can now deploy Mendix
apps across Kubernetes-orchestrated server clusters via Docker
containers, benefitting from automated deployment, continuous
delivery and horizontal scalability on virtually any PaaS
stack.
- Mendix Atlas Release – The Mendix Atlas Release helps
enterprises take a user-centric approach to app design and
development. Highlights of the release include the Atlas UI
Framework, which enables people without front-end development or UI
design skills to create engaging user experiences, and the Web
Modeler, a WYSIWYG development environment for business analysts
and developers, to rapidly build Atlas-based UIs and functional
prototypes.
- Analyst Recognition – Forrester Research ranked Mendix
as a Leader in "The Forrester Wave™: Low-Code Development Platforms
for AD&D Pros, Q4 2017". In the report, Forrester notes that,
"Mendix continues to innovate in new use cases and deepen its
features across the board. Its decision to base its low-code
environment on Cloud Foundry also paid big dividends, as SAP — a
Cloud Foundry distributor — adopted the vendor's platform as its
worldwide low-code solution. That partnership is the first by one
of the four largest enterprise vendors (IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, and
SAP) with a low-code platform vendor and should accelerate Mendix's
already substantial growth."
