All IT leaders face challenges of outdated technology. Sometimes it’s time to build or buy a new application. But nowadays, it might make more sense to refresh the new old one. I explore those challenges and provide real client examples where I’ve used low code to help in both cases.
I share my thoughts on the recent acquisition of AppGyver by SAP and how that does or doesn’t relate to their SOLEX partner, Mendix.
The world is battling a war on two fronts: our health is threatened by COVID-19 and our economies have slowed and even stopped in certain sectors. As an App Developer, does my work really matter in such times?
After years of delivering, leading, and coaching leaders in Rapid App Development, I give you my perspective on what skills and profile it takes to be a ‘Great’ RAD Maker.
It’s been 1 year since I first wrote the post, “Extending SAP: Fiori or Mendix?” and a lot has changed. Because of the changes, this older post has gotten a lot of renewed interest so I thought I would take a look at my opinions from a year ago and see if they differ. If you haven’t already, please refer to the original article to have context for this one.
IT should be an expert “SWAT” team with precise skills to tackle the toughest app challenges, not a bottleneck to solving business problems.
Early in the creation of the RAD business, an insurance client took a calculated risk on us and low-code through the Mendix Platform to launch a new product. Speed to market was critical to gain market share and traditional development wasn’t up to the speed of change and iteration required. This details the risks and how we overcame them through following Agile principles and leveraging low code together.
Mendix has released major updates to their MxAssist Logic Bot that include performance upgrades and more nuanced results based on mining millions of abstracted microflows. But do those upgrades matter to the most experienced Mendix developers?
Mendix approached me for “Art of the Possible” use cases after my initially accepted use case was put on the back-burner due to COVID-19 shutting down #MendixWorld2020 as originally planned in Rotterdam. What I gave them was a glimpse into the power of Mendix on SAP HANA Cloud! Link provided to the session.
Sometimes it’s necessary to allow anonymous users to access and then login to your Mendix app and you want to customize the login page to match the application. Here’s a quick video to show you how.
