BOSTON, Oct. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mendix, which offers an easy-to-use platform to create and continuously improve enterprise applications, today announced its largest quarter ever, with 150 percent global bookings growth compared to Q3 2016, driven by 217 percent growth in North America and 198 percent growth in the UK. More than 4,000 global organizations such as Kuehne + Nagel, Philips, Prudential Life Assurance, SUEZ, USAlliance and Zurich, are now using the Mendix platform to create, deploy and manage apps to improve customer experiences, increase operational efficiency, and modernize their legacy systems.

Mendix also announced a global reseller agreement with SAP (NYSE: SAP). Through this agreement, SAP will resell and support the Mendix platform under the name SAP® Cloud Platform Rapid Application Development by Mendix, allowing customers to build custom applications on SAP Cloud Platform much faster than traditional development approaches.

"We are energized by the success of our customers and by the new opportunities offered through our agreement with SAP," said Derek Roos, CEO at Mendix. "Mendix continues to be the only Low-Code Platform with a sophisticated, cloud-native architecture, and our deep support for the open cloud ecosystem is helping enterprises deliver digital innovation with unprecedented speed, collaboration and control."

Highlights of the quarter include:

Enterprise Momentum


    --  Bookings Growth - Mendix celebrated its largest bookings quarter ever
        with 217 percent year-over-year growth in North America and 198 percent
        year-over-year growth in the UK.
    --  Partner Ecosystem Expansion - Mendix announced an agreement with SAP,
        under which SAP will resell and support the Mendix platform under the
        name SAP Cloud Platform Rapid Application Development by Mendix. Running
        on SAP Cloud Platform, this solution offers tight integration with SAP
        systems, data and services, helping enterprises unlock even greater
        business value from their investments in SAP software.
    --  Developer Community Growth - The Mendix developer community continued
        its strong growth with more than 30,000 downloads, and 26 universities
        across the globe now teaching Mendix as part of their curriculum.

Technology Leadership


    --  Kubernetes deployment - Mendix extended its breadth of cloud-native
        deployment options, becoming the first low-code platform to support
        Kubernetes. Customers can now deploy Mendix apps across
        Kubernetes-orchestrated server clusters via Docker containers,
        benefitting from automated deployment, continuous delivery and
        horizontal scalability on virtually any PaaS stack.
    --  Mendix Atlas Release - The Mendix Atlas Release helps enterprises take a
        user-centric approach to app design and development. Highlights of the
        release include the Atlas UI Framework, which enables people without
        front-end development or UI design skills to create engaging user
        experiences, and the Web Modeler, a WYSIWYG development environment for
        business analysts and developers, to rapidly build Atlas-based UIs and
        functional prototypes.
    --  Analyst Recognition - Forrester Research ranked Mendix as a Leader in
        "The Forrester Wave(TM): Low-Code Development Platforms for AD&D Pros,
        Q4 2017". In the report, Forrester notes that, "Mendix continues to
        innovate in new use cases and deepen its features across the board. Its
        decision to base its low-code environment on Cloud Foundry also paid big
        dividends, as SAP -- a Cloud Foundry distributor -- adopted the vendor's
        platform as its worldwide low-code solution. That partnership is the
        first by one of the four largest enterprise vendors (IBM, Microsoft,
        Oracle, and SAP) with a low-code platform vendor and should accelerate
        Mendix's already substantial growth."
