BOSTON, July 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Mendix, a
Siemens business and the global leader in low-code and no-code
application development for the enterprise, today announced that
the company has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant
for Multiexperience Development Platforms (Jason Wong, Van
Baker, Mark Driver,
Adrian Leow, Paul Vincent, 10 July
2019). In addition, Mendix is one of two vendors positioned
furthest for completeness of vision.
The new Gartner Magic Quadrant for Multiexperience Development
Platforms supersedes Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Mobile
Application Development Platforms. As noted in the report, "This is
the first Magic Quadrant for multiexperience development platforms
(MXDPs), its predecessors having been Magic Quadrants for mobile
app development platforms (MADPs). The change of name reflects the
evolution of MADPs to serve expanding app use cases and development
requirements. These requirements go beyond mobile apps to enable
development of progressive web apps (PWAs), conversational apps
(voice assistants and chatbots), immersive apps and wearable
apps."
Mendix is the only low-code platform that offers true native
mobile application development. Built on the React Native open
source framework, Mendix enables mobile developers to deliver the
genuine native experience users expect, leveraging the full
interface capabilities of mobile devices including Touch ID,
Bluetooth, pull to refresh, infinite swipe, the camera,
geolocation, and others.
Additionally, Mendix supports the latest multiexperience
interaction capabilities such as conversational UIs including Siri
and Alexa, chatbots, augmented reality, and real-time access to SAP
Leonardo, IBM Watson, and other cognitive AI cloud services.
"With Mendix, developers can deliver exceptional experiences
that delight their users and create powerful competitive
differentiation for their brands," said Johan den Haan, chief technology officer for
Mendix. "But it takes the right architecture, the right design
thinking, and intense collaboration between business and technology
experts to create meaningful experiences to deliver the value these
enhanced interaction schemes promise."
Mendix's cloud-native, microservices-based architecture enables
developers to create an expanding set of experiences tailored for
each point of interaction and persona, without having to recreate
the underlying business logic, data, and integrations. These
personalized and often contextualized experiences are increasingly
expected by users as they are exposed to new interaction schemes
that are more capable, user-friendly, and relevant.
The Mendix platform includes two integrated development
environments — Studio for citizen developers and Studio Pro for
professional developers — to facilitate the highest possible degree
of sustained collaboration between business and technology experts.
A common meta-data model and bi-directional sync between the
environments ensures that the team stays focused on effectively
addressing the business need; clarifies communication; and
significantly accelerates time to deployment.
"Multiexperience applications are taking their place among the
digital enterprise's core methods of interaction," said
Derek Roos, Mendix CEO. "And our
platform is architected to readily incorporate the interactive
schemes that are ascendant now, and those emerging on the horizon.
We've worked hard to earn our position as a Leader in this
important category, and are thrilled to be recognized as one of two
vendors positioned furthest for completeness of vision, as
well."
