Starting in 2023, Low-Code platforms will become the primary method for developing enterprise applications, enabling organizations to accelerate their digital transformation efforts.

During the development process, Ciphix really looked to connect with our business. They examined our business processes in detail and were not afraid to challenge us on whether certain functionality was really needed.

Frequently asked questions about Mendix:

What can you create with Mendix?

Mendix is a low-code platform suitable for building mobile and Web apps. The flexibility of the platform makes its applications versatile. For example, Mendix is widely used to digitize business processes, refresh outdated and unsupported applications, or to quickly develop a “minimum viable product. Also see our cases for more concrete applications and solutions built with Mendix.

Is Mendix open source?

No, Mendix is commercial software. Founded in the Netherlands in 2005 to bridge the gap between business and IT, Mendix was acquired by Siemens in 2018. Developers can try Mendix Studio Pro IDE for free.

What is the difference between Mendix and OutSystems?

Both Mendix and OutSystems provide a low-code platform that makes creating applications much faster compared to the traditional way of working. Still, there are important differences between the two platforms. We work with Mendix because the platform is secure, reliable and innovative. In addition, Mendix is designed with the goal of closing the gap between business and IT, that philosophy aligns with our way of working in which we help companies take the next step in their digital transformation.

How does Mendix work?

Mendix works with a visual interface to build applications. In Mendix, you use existing building blocks that contain a specific piece of functionality. For example, many applications need a login screen, user management or a map. Because this functionality is often available as a building block, it does not have to be rebuilt for each application, but usually only configured. This saves a lot of time and makes it easier to add new functionality to an application.

How can I get my development team to build applications with Mendix?

Developing applications with low-code requires a different way of working than the traditional method, especially due to the increased speed at which applications are built. At Ciphix, we therefore work according to the Agile methodology. For many developers, it is quite possible to make the step from high-code to low-code. We also regularly train existing teams of developers to work with Mendix.

Also excited about the power of the Mendix platform?

Ciphix is a Mendix partner from the very beginning. We have been helping organisations increase their agility with Mendix low-code for over ten years. With us you are in good hands. This is evidenced by the various international partner awards we have won. In addition, we achieved Mendix Platinum Partner status in 2024. This recognition is awarded to partners who have demonstrated Mendix expertise of the highest level.
