About Mendix
Mendix, an enterprise low-code application development platform, was founded in the Netherlands in 2005 by Derek Roos and Derckjan Kruit[6]. The company's name is derived from the verb "mend," which means to fix or repair anything that is broken[4]. The founders believed that software development could be significantly improved with a paradigm shift, and Mendix was created to bridge the gap between business and IT[2].
The company started as a bootstrapped business focused on rapid application development through low-code development techniques, using visual models and less hand-coding to help businesses build critical new apps quickly and cost-effectively[5]. In 2012, CEO Derek Roos moved the company's headquarters to Boston to target the U.S. market[5]. In August 2018, Mendix was acquired by Siemens[7].
Mendix's platform enables companies to build, integrate, and deploy web and mobile applications, allowing for faster and easier development, deployment, and management of applications[6]. Today, Mendix is recognized as an industry leader by Gartner, Forrester, and numerous partners and customers[4].
