Mendix and BlackBelt - the natural match

In the world of IT, practically all new technologies are heralded as “revolutionary”, yet one doesn’t stumble across truly significant innovations every day of the week. As far as lowcoding is concerned, I am certain this paradigm will fundamentally change the world of software development. Mendix is one of the international forerunners of this process, so it’s incredibly inspiring for me to belong to this team.

This is rather rewarding work as many have heard about this technology, yet only few are truly familiar with it. We’re presenting a new tool on the market and providing our clients with something that is guaranteed to make them more efficient and successful – and that’s always incredibly inspiring.

We’re evangelizing the market: we’re showing how to work with models and create functional applications in less time, radically accelerating development. Moreover, in Mendix, we have one of the key representatives of low-code technology as our partner, so we have everything it takes to create something truly revolutionary.

I’ve worked as a developer for many years, so I know all about the difficulties of traditional coding. Project after project, even the smallest value-added element must be programmed again and again. As a result, even mid-range developments have nearly endless lines of code. The emergence of lowcode has provided us with a tool that puts a developer’s work into an entirely new perspective. We are no longer building a house brick by brick, all we have to do is create the blueprint, or model of the house, and the walls will be generated by the system at the push of a button.

The elimination of meticulous work is not only good for developers but business reps, too. Previously, there was a huge gap between coders and the representatives of the business field, and the two parties didn’t always have a shared language to communicate with. This led to a great deal of misunderstanding and unnecessary work. The logic behind the function of the application must be defined in relation to business considerations. Thanks to the flowcharts and comprehensive visual language of model-based development, there is no more miscommunication between the technological and business sides of the equation.

Over recent years, a vast number of companies across the globe have started focusing on the creation of low-code tools. I became familiarized with a number of products, of which Mendix clearly proved to be the best choice for me. I feel it would be hard to find a more suitable low-code platform for the development of applications integrated into business software for an enterprise environment.
