New Mendix Release Enables No-Code Delivery of Multi-Device Mobile Apps for the EnterpriseBOSTON --(Business Wire)-- Mendix, the enterprise app platform as a service (aPaaS) company, announced major enhancements to the Mendix App Platform, drastically reducing the time, cost and effort for companies to deliver multi-channel and mobile apps. With this new release, Mendix empowers both business users and developers to easily build cross-platform mobile apps that provide the rich, native experience enterprise users are clamoring for. Build Once - Deploy Anywhere These new capabilities support Mendix's multi-channel strategy of enabling organizations to build apps once and deploy them anywhere, eliminating the cost and complexity of supporting multiple platforms and devices. This multi-channel development strategy is crucial to the enterprise, where mobile apps are typically a part of integrated processes and larger applications. According to a report from Forrester (News - Alert) Research ("The Future Of Mobile Application Development," Forrester Research, Inc., Jan. 17, 2013), "A mobile app strategy is not sufficient if you want to be successful in your future mobile development efforts. You need to think of mobile apps as one component of a larger, modern, omnichannel application architecture and structure your development strategy accordingly." Mendix Puts Mobile, Cross-Platform App Development in the Hands of Every Developer The Mendix App Platform has long enabled both business users and developers to rapidly build web and mobile applications with its signature visual, model-driven development approach. With its latest release, Mendix is breaking new ground by putting the development of multi-device apps in the hands of any developer, allowing them to easily build mobile apps that leverage native device functions in a cross-platform environment that greatly reduces cost and complexity. "We are seeing significant demand from our customers and partners for apps that are multi-channel by default, particularly those designed to engage customers," said Derek Roos, CEO and co-founder of Mendix. "With this new Mendix release, we've broken new ground for our users and put powerful capabilities in the hands of all developers to accelerate innovation in the enterprise." New and Enhanced Features to Rapidly Build, Test and Deploy Multi-Channel Apps
"As a long-time Mendix partner, FlowFabric has a successful track record delivering mobile and multi-channels apps for clients on the Mendix App Platform," said Kjeld Cornelissen, managing director at FlowFabric. "We believe this new Mendix release will be a game-changer for mobile app development, making it even faster and easier for our developers to build intuitive apps that work on any platform and on any device."
