Massive Enhancements Made to the Mendix Low-Code Software Development Platform; Additions Power Up the Company’s Digital Ecosystem
At Mendix World 2021, the largest virtual assembly of low-coders ever, Mendix, a Siemens business and global leader in low-code application development for the enterprise, today announced its new, expanded digital ecosystem. New capabilities of the Mendix platform will enable the 250,000-strong members of the Mendix Maker community to assemble and extend high-value solutions with building blocks, and to also deliver and merchandise these building blocks themselves, creating new business value for their organizations and further enhancing the value of the Mendix Marketplace for the entire community.
The shortage of traditional software developers is acute. This year, leading researchers have documented the sudden and accelerated drive for digitalization, automation, and democratization of software development, as enterprises seek new ways to leverage and scale technology to maintain competitive advantage in a transformed marketplace. As Derek Roos, Mendix CEO and cofounder, noted in his Mendix World 2021 address, there is good news, too: Last year’s global disruption also brought innovation on a massive scale across virtually every business sector as enterprises responded to the emerging digital-first economy.
