Momentum Continues to Accelerate as Mendix Achieves Record H1 Results Driven by Platform Innovation and Customer Adoption
Mendix,
the leading cloud platform for Rapid Application Development and
Delivery, today announced record first-half results, including
triple-digit bookings growth in the United Kingdom and North America.
The Mendix platform was enhanced with more than 50 innovations,
including out-of-the-box drag-and-drop connectors to IoT, big data and
machine learning services that enable enterprises to easily build Smart
Apps and leverage their connected devices, data and algorithms.
Thanks to this continued platform innovation, nearly 3,000 organizations
worldwide are now using Mendix to digitize their experiences, products
and operations.
"With Digital Transformation now a Board-level priority, the focus for
IT and business leaders is no longer 'why' but 'how.' For this reason,
we're seeing unprecedented demand for our Rapid Application Delivery
Platform," said Derek Roos, CEO and co-founder of Mendix. "Backed by a
best practices-based methodology, Mendix is the only platform that
brings business users and IT teams together to turn ideas into new
software applications faster and easier than any other approach. Using
our platform, many of our customers are seeing 10 times faster
application development cycles with 30 percent lower costs."
Mendix's first-half achievements include:
Market Momentum
-
Bookings Growth - Mendix saw strong bookings growth in each of
its principal sales regions. Traction was particularly strong in the
United Kingdom, with 121 percent growth, and North America, where
bookings grew 137 percent over H1 2015 to an all-time high.
-
Customer Adoption - Organizations across many industries and
geographies continued to adopt Mendix as a strategic platform to
rapidly deliver a portfolio of applications that digitize their
experiences, products and operations. As a result, the total number of
organizations using Mendix grew 108 percent over H1 2015. New
customers include AFI KLM Engineering & Maintenance (E&M), Capitol
Indemnity Corporation, Dubai Roads & Transport Authority, eXp Realty
LLC, Philips (News - Alert) Electronics Nederland B.V., St. Kitts & Nevis Office of
Information and Technology and Vanderbilt Health Affiliated Network.
-
Highest-Rated Tech Employer - According to new research by
Glassdoor, Mendix is the highest-rated tech employer in the
Netherlands. The top 10 list, which also includes companies like
Google, Microsoft (News - Alert) and Uber, was based on employee reviews on Glassdoor
between May 2015 and May 2016.
-
Mendix World 2016 - The flagship customer event attendance grew
over 100 percent ad drew more than 2,700 CIOs and business leaders
looking to discover the future of digital innovation, and understand
the vast business opportunities enabled by deploying Smart Apps, which
were unveiled in the latest Mendix platform.
NC State University is a great example of an organization that is
quickly moving towards strategic platform adoption. A small team
delivered its first application, a non-credit registration system, in
just three months, in a fraction of the time and cost compared to
alternative approaches NC State examined. The university is now
exploring additional ways to leverage the platform, from building a lab
management system to migrating a series of custom Java apps.
"With so many unique processes that cannot be served with off-the-shelf
software, there is no shortage of needs for Mendix within NC State,"
said Gwen Hazlehurst, Assistant Vice Chancellor, Enterprise Application
Services, at NC State University. "Our vision is to provide each of the
10 colleges that make up the university with a central platform that
enables them to quickly build whatever they need, when they need it."
