Late to the game
Mendix is not the only low-code platform vendor in China. In fact, Mendix is somewhat late to the game. OutSystems, Pega, and Appian, to name a few of Mendix’s most direct competitors, have been doing business in China for years, said Jason Bloomberg, an analyst at Intellyx in Suffolk, Va. OutSystems has been selling in China since 2012, the company said.
“What I think is important about this announcement is the fact that Siemens has had business in China with its industrial products, and now it’s bringing the Mendix low-code platform to those companies, as well as SI [systems integrator] partners like SAIC,” Bloomberg said.
