The annual contest recognizes a Mendix partner responsible for developing and implementing an outstanding solution built using the Mendix platform. The Magazine Production Portal created by Magnus Technology Solutions is used internationally to facilitate the configuration and manufacturing of Sanoma magazines. Regarded as an integral system by Sanoma, the Magazine Production Portal replaces extensive manual processes with a fully automated online application. The portal minimizes waste, provides superior service, and offers additional services online. The project was completed and released within only six months; additional functionality has been added since the first release. The award ceremony was held during Mendix Partner World Conference last week, an annual event that brings Mendix partners together from around the world to share experiences and discuss the future of Mendix. Derek Roos, CEO of Mendix, announced the winning project; “Magnus did a great job in building this advanced solution. The jury selected this project because of its true agile implementation, the complexity of the project, usability, and the astounding ROI that it achieved.” The solution integrates seamlessly with Sanoma’s SAP system, making Mendix their first choice for all new applications in the future. The Mendix Business Agility Suite allowed Magnus to conceptualize and develop the system efficiently, assuring stakeholders that all requirements could be attained within the predetermined scope. Andre Damsteegt, Director at Magnus Technology Solutions accepted the award. “Mendix really listened, and proved their product based on our feedback. The platform allowed us to deliver a completely automated and standardized environment for Sanoma brands, with an ROI in less than one year.” About Magnus Magnus is a leading IT service provider based in the Netherlands, that specializes in implementing, developing and managing IT solutions.

The Mendix platform, known worldwide for its speed and flexibility, now adds SAP Certification for Integration with SAP NetWeaver to its list of certifications. Mendix on top of SAP offers the advantage of flexible extensions of these systems in order to increase business agility. Whereas SAP provides industry-standard ERP software that give customers the ability to automate many generic processes, today’s business environment fuel demand for additional web applications that add functionality quickly and cost effectively. By unlocking valuable data within ERP systems, investments in preexisting IT environments gain renewed value. Derek Roos, CEO of Mendix, sees a growing trend in companies trying to get the most out of aging information technology: “More and more SAP customers are turning to Mendix for web applications with quick time-to-market that leverage their ERP investments. This certification by SAP only underlines the complimentary value and technical solidity of our approach.” Web applications built on the Mendix platform can be deployed in days or weeks, rather than months or quarters. Initial cost savings generated by the speed of development are dramatic. Intrinsic to the platform’s innovative business modeler, Mendix enjoys a track record of 100% requirements attainment due to superior collaboration between business and IT. SAP solutions customized using the Mendix Agile Business Suite deliver the additional benefit of integrating systems along the value chain quickly and easily. Mendix unlocks these systems for more flexible utilization. In the recovery of a global economic downturn, maximizing ROI on software investments is of great importance to organizations of all sizes and geographies. Management at Mendix expects continued growth in demand of software that increases ‘Business Agility’ by renewing value in old IT investments. epeters1 Fri, 08 Oct 2010 17:46:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:1573
