Today’s businesses are under constant pressure to innovate. But legacy systems, siloed data and long development cycles hold them back.
These companies are often forced to work with slow, expensive development tools that rely on specialized expertise. And getting their new applications to work with existing systems adds even more cost and complexity, further hindering enterprise modernization.
Technology should adapt to business — not the other way around. Mendix, with its low-code, AI-assisted platform, offers a new way forward to support rapid innovation without compromising performance or security.
A Strategic Fit for Industrial Innovation
Mendix empowers users of all technical backgrounds to build and deploy software faster and with greater flexibility. They can automate processes, extend product lifecycle management (PLM) and enterprise resource planning systems and create entirely new applications without waiting on scarce developer resources.
Whether it’s streamlining shop floor operations, creating customer portals or digitizing engineering workflows, Mendix allows companies to tackle complex use cases. Teams can create and deliver purpose-built applications that meet current needs and scale over time. Instead of relying on complex coding languages or specialized developer skills, users design logic, workflows, and interfaces themselves with a drag-and-drop canvas and other intuitive visual modeling tools. Pre-built modules and reusable templates further reduce the time and effort required to create feature-rich, enterprise-ready applications. Applied CAx leans on its deep expertise in PLM, simulation and enterprise systems management to help industrial businesses deploy Mendix applications that meet their specialized needs.
What You Can Do with Mendix
Applications built on Mendix integrate with core business systems through connectors and APIs. Instead of ripping and replacing what’s already working, companies can build on top of it, extending systems of record with new capabilities. It’s a more agile, less risky approach to enterprise modernization that preserves digital continuity.
AI-assisted development plays a key role in accelerating application delivery and reducing barriers to entry. Mendix uses machine learning to suggest logic flows, flag errors, and simplify complex troubleshooting tasks. And connections to third-party AI services unlock advanced app capabilities, such as automation and predictive analytics.
Once applications are ready, Mendix supports multiple deployment options — including Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and its own cloud infrastructure, plus on-premises and hybrid environments — providing the flexibility to adapt to internal constraints and meet data residency requirements. In addition, automated deployment workflows minimize manual errors and speed up release cycles, while built-in scaling features maintain high performance as workloads grow.
Benefits of Enterprise Modernization
Businesses that use Mendix can build and deploy applications up to ten times faster than with traditional methods. The platform’s incremental approach to enterprise modernization eliminates the disruption and risk of full-system overhauls, so companies can achieve outcomes faster and with less complexity. Internal teams are also better equipped to respond to changing demands, because of Mendix’s support for cross-functional collaboration. By bringing developers, business users and other stakeholders into a shared environment, Mendix enables faster feedback, tighter alignment and more efficient delivery.
Security and governance are built into every layer of Mendix. Role-based access controls, encryption and audit trails help organizations protect sensitive data and comply with strict standards, including SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA. And the platform includes tools for monitoring performance and managing scalability, maintaining IT’s operational control as its application portfolio grows.
Under the hood, Mendix offers a clean, multi-tier architecture that separates data, logic and presentation layers. Extensive integration capabilities support REST, SOAP and OData protocols, plus direct connections to enterprise systems.
Trusted by Industry Leaders
Global leaders across aerospace, manufacturing, energy and other highly regulated sectors rely on Mendix for their modernization efforts. As part of Siemens Digital Industries, it’s trusted to bring new digital tools to market faster, enabling smarter and more connected operations. Applied CAx extends that value with its deep understanding of engineering, product development and enterprise architecture. From PLM and simulations to manufacturing operations, Applied CAx aligns Mendix applications with strategic goals to deliver long-term value.
