Mendix provides a platform to bridge the gap between business and IT by enabling rapid application development. Traditional software projects take months and often fail, while Mendix allows applications to be developed in days. The platform supports collaboration, development with a visual modeler, deployment to the cloud with one click, and management of applications. Mendix helps companies respond quickly to changing business needs and leverage existing data and systems.
