BOSTON, June 8, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Mendix, a Siemens business and global leader in
modern enterprise application development, has announced an
ambitious strategy to build a robust technology partner community
to empower enterprises and software startups to dramatically
accelerate digital transformation. The low-code leader is now
strengthening and expanding its ecosystem with a new generation of
technology partners and integrated solutions, and will support
their offerings of solutions and software components in the Mendix
and Siemens marketplaces.
The Mendix Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Partner Program
provides the tools, IP protection, and marketplace to enable ISV
partners to build and monetize commercial software atop the Mendix
platform. With Mendix, ISVs can quickly iterate, improve their
products, and capitalize on new opportunities to market
domain-specific solutions that leverage the ISV's unique expertise.
ISV customer solutions can be customized and yet still benefit from
fast and seamless upgrades.
The rise of the so-called 'composable enterprise' is seeing a
corresponding demand for reusable software component building
blocks that can be used to build solutions quickly and efficiently.
ISV partner offerings already found in the Mendix Marketplace
include connectors, feature modules, vertical industry templates,
app services, widgets, and other components and packaged business
capabilities that accelerate application development.
Conversely, ISV partners can download free components from the
Mendix Marketplace to streamline and accelerate construction of
their own product offerings.
Because Mendix is an integral part of Siemens Xcelerator, the
open digital business platform that accelerates digital
transformation, Mendix ISV partners also have the opportunity to
offer their solutions and components in the Siemens Xcelerator
Marketplace.
A unique proposition among low-code platforms
As the world's leading enterprise low-code platform, Mendix is
actively structuring relationships with ISVs, VARs, OEMs, and
systems integrators that have expert domain knowledge. These
partners are uniquely positioned to create components and entire
solutions that target unique needs and pain points in leading
vertical industries. Customers in those industries mitigate their
risk and accelerate their transformation with proven packaged
solutions, in turn ultimately delivering value faster to their own
customers.
"From a CIO's perspective, Mendix is empowering technology
partners of all kinds to build solutions. And, as the low-code
solution within the Siemens Xcelerator platform, we are enabling
companies across industries to digitally transform," said
Jethro Borsje, chief solutions
officer at Mendix. "The content provided by our low-code community
reduces risk by showcasing road-tested solutions with
out-of-the-box functionality, without compromising on the benefits
that low-code software development has to offer."
Sustaira builds an ESG solution
As an example of the initiative's recent success, Mendix
announced that ISV partner Sustaira has released an
environmental-social-governance (ESG) platform built with Mendix.
Sustaira deployed a beta platform in just six months, featuring
customizable dashboard views into aggregated internal and external
data and sustainability metrics. Designed with reusable software
components, the Sustaira platform offers a highly efficient
"composable" route for customers to quickly realize value from
customized solutions.
Sustaira is a partner of both Mendix and Siemens Digital
Industries Software Solutions. Its ESG-focused platform is
available directly from Sustaira and from the Mendix and Siemens
Xcelerator Marketplaces.
According to Markets and Markets, the global ESG reporting
software market will grow from $0.7
billion in 2022 to $1.5
billion by 2027, at a compounded annual growth rate of
15.9%. Targeting the specialized needs of global enterprises
seeking to meet net zero emission goals and related government
mandates, Sustaira has rolled out a growing portfolio of
customizable applications and ESG app templates.
"Sustaira is a textbook example of the platform economy that
Mendix enterprise low-code facilitates," Mendix's Borsje said.
"We've created a framework for partners and customers to create
packaged business capabilities, software components, and complete
customizable solutions, which they can commercialize. It creates a
circular, network effect that benefits all parties and facilitates
the rapid digitalization that is essential in today's digital-first
economy."
For Sustaira, agility is key and Mendix delivers
"Speed, agility, and customization of digital tools are the keys
to ESG reporting because the field is relatively new and every
organization has different requirements," said Vincent de la Mar, founder and CEO of Sustaira.
"We chose Mendix because we want to accelerate innovation with
co-creation and partnerships. Mendix has a highly scalable and
reliable enterprise software development platform that accelerates
and simplifies application development. Applications that would
take at least a year to build with .NET or Java can be done in
weeks using Mendix's robust low-code platform."
Mendix and Siemens Xcelerator
Siemens Xcelerator is an open digital business platform that
enables customers to accelerate their digital transformation
easier, faster and at scale. Xcelerator offers a curated, modular
portfolio of software and IOT-enabled hardware solutions and
services; an open ecosystem that enables co-creation between
customers, Siemens, and certified partners; and the Xcelerator
Marketplace. Mendix is the low-code engine for Xcelerator and
offers ISVs a gateway to its powerful resources and
capabilities.
Supporting a larger Mendix platform economy
Starting in 2020, the pandemic initiated a seismic shift that
accelerated the digital-first economy and redefined the rules of
competitive engagement. The ability to assemble digital
capabilities from prebuilt components versus building them from
scratch — the essential feature of the composable enterprise — is
key to enterprise agility, adaptability, responsiveness, and
ultimately, success.
"Our enterprise low-code platform has proven itself to be a
critical technology for digital transformation," said Mendix CEO
Tim Srock. "Mendix sits at the
heart of the vibrant Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem. The Mendix
Marketplace and the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace offer proven
off-the-shelf functionality and innovative capabilities ready to be
incorporated into digital solutions. When those solutions leverage
domain expertise for specific industries, our customer's digital
transformation journey accelerates exponentially."
Additionally, Mendix has expanded its strategic collaboration
with Amazon Web Services (AWS), broadening the scope of its cloud
deployment and development operations to empower industrial
organizations worldwide to "create without limits." Srock added,
"The collaborative innovation between Mendix and AWS delivers
significant value to customers across industries. This is best
evidenced by Siemens, which has one of the largest deployments of
Mendix on AWS in the world."
