Mendix Named a Leader in Gartner's 2017 Magic Quadrant for Mobile App Development Platforms (MADP)BOSTON, June 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mendix, the fastest and easiest platform for creating and continuously improving mobile and web applications, today announced it has moved into the Leaders quadrant of the Gartner 2017 "Magic Quadrant for Mobile App Development Platforms (MADP)" (June 2017). The company was also recently named a Leader in Gartner's April 2017 "Magic Quadrant for Enterprise High Productivity Application Platform as a Service," positioned furthest for completeness of vision. According to Gartner, by 2022, 70 percent of software interactions in enterprises will occur on mobile devices.1 With demand for apps surging, IT teams can't keep pace due to a lack of skills and resources, and an inability to scale the technology and processes. MADPs address these challenges, enabling developers to rapidly design, develop, test, deploy, distribute, and manage a portfolio of cross-platform mobile apps. In recent years, they've evolved to support multi-channel app development. The Magic Quadrant for Mobile App Development Platforms report notes, "A MADP provides tools, technologies, components and services that together constitute the critical elements of a platform for creating custom mobile apps (that is, .ipa and .apk binary files), as well as mobile web apps or sites. Increasingly, MADPs are adding support for wearables, chatbots, virtual personal assistants (VPAs) and conversational UI endpoints through the same services and APIs they create and orchestrate for mobile apps and web. "We believe our recognition as a Leader was based on our platform's alignment with the needs of the evolving MADP market, from supporting multi-channel approaches to leveraging emerging technologies to design smart user experiences," said Johan den Haan, CTO at Mendix. "We continue to hear from customers who say Mendix accelerates their app development velocity by enabling a continuum of developers to build and enhance apps leveraging agile principles." Mendix Uniquely Enables a Continuum of Developers to Build Multi-Channel Apps Combining full-stack visual development capabilities, a cloud-native architecture and an integrated set of tools for the complete application lifecycle, Mendix is uniquely suited for high-velocity application development within an enterprise context.
