Forrester report: The new productivity platforms

Monday 21st November 2011

The new Forrester Report: “The New Productivity Platforms: Your Solution To The AD&D Crunch features Mendix alongside other productivity enhancing platforms as an alternative to conventional Java and .NET development. These platforms prove to shorten time to market, but also make application lifecycle management, well, manageable. Besides that, we’re happy to see that Mendix is praised for providing a unique tool for managing agile projects.

As the executive summary states:
For fast delivery of new business applications, conventional Java and .NET are often no longer the best choices. Instead, a generation of new productivity platforms holds the potential to speed initial application delivery and ongoing updates. These platforms abstract away platform configuration chores, repetitive coding tasks, and long testing and quality assurance (QA) cycles. Some allow application development and delivery (AD&D) teams to delegate application delivery — in part or in whole — to business experts. AD&D teams under pressure to deliver more with less should evaluate these platforms. This report outlines this emerging category’s benefits and risks.
