“The Total Economic Impact™” of Mendix on its customers 

In June 2020, Mendix commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study to objectively assess the financial impact organizations may experience after adopting the low-code solution.

As part of the study, Forrester interviewed four Mendix customers in-depth to understand the benefits, costs, flexibility and risks they encountered while working with Mendix.

They found that the adoption of Mendix not only facilitated better business and IT collaboration, but also enabled faster innovation and time-to-market.
