"Our customers are recognizing the enormous value they derive from the enterprise-wide adoption of our platform," said Derek Roos, CEO and co-founder of Mendix. "As the Low-Code market matures, we're seeing more enterprises create large, complex, core systems using our platform, and I'm excited to see our focus on enabling our customers' success deliver strong growth across all our regions."

As enterprises invest to digitize their operations, demand for business applications is growing significantly faster than the capacity of IT organizations to deliver them. High-productivity aPaaS solutions provide rapid application development (RAD) features for development, deployment and execution — in the cloud. Gartner predicts that "by 2020, at least 50% of all new business applications will be created with high-productivity toolsets."¹
