As app developers and business executives strive to innovate across increasingly complex digital channels, spanning mobile features, weareables, bots and conversational interfaces, the Gartner Magic Quadrant report offers a comprehensive and reliable evaluation of different mobile application development platform (MADP) vendors. It also provides clear guidance to managers on what to consider when evaluating these vendors.
This announcement marks the first time GeneXus is being included in the prestigious Magic Quadrant report and positions the company based on its ability to execute in this competitive landscape. Over the past three decades, GeneXus has expanded to more than fifty countries offering innovative yet simple software solutions across multiple industries, with a culture that puts the customer first, offering affordable and flexible pricing.
This is good news for Nicolás Jodal (co-founder and CEO of GeneXus) GeneXus, which was founded in 1988 in Uruguay and expanded throughout Latin America and parts of Asia with its award-winning automated AI software, is preparing for a major US launch in July:
"Without a doubt, we live in a time of great opportunity for business leaders to communicate meaningfully with their customers through technologies like artificial intelligence, something that was considered impossible just a few years ago. However, with new technologies emerging and changing so quickly, understanding and knowing the right tools for your organization can be overwhelming for even the most talented and experienced managers. That's why we launched GeneXus 30 years ago: so people can do amazing things with new technologies. Gartner's Magic Quadrant perfectly defines the difficulties companies face today in keeping pace with change and innovating intelligently. We are honored to join the Magic Quadrant as competitors to the established market leaders - we are the newcomers who have been here all along!" said Nicolás Jodal.
According to its Magic Quadrant report, Gartner expects the MADP industry to continue to evolve rapidly with the emergence of new digital platforms and channels. And while the MADP landscape is complex and can be defined in many ways, Gartner defines MADPs as follows:
- A MADP provides tools, technologies, components and services that together form the building blocks of a platform for creating custom mobile applications (i.e., binary .ipa and .apk files), as well as mobile apps or websites. Increasingly, MADPs are adding support for wearables, chatbots, virtual personal assistants (VPAs) and conversational user interface terminals through the same services and APIs they create and orchestrate for mobile and web applications.
- A MADP must include a cross-platform development tool (as well as mobile back-end services, MBS) that must be separated from its own front-end development tool in order to support integrated development environments (IDEs), third-party and open source tools and frameworks.
- A MADP must be able to meet the requirements of various enterprise use cases, including external and internal scenarios, as well as be able to connect with different enterprise systems that can run locally or in the cloud. Because MADPs serve as the cornerstone of an enterprise mobile strategy, they need to be as comprehensive as possible to address front-end and back-end development needs.
- A MADP centralizes software lifecycle activities (such as design, development, testing, distribution, management, and analysis) for a set of mobile applications running on a variety of operating systems and devices. This is critical for IT organizations to manage the ongoing maintenance and support of applications, in addition to mobile back-end APIs, in order to achieve proper DevOps.
GeneXus will officially launch its presence in the United States in July. To learn more about GeneXus and its automatic AI software (used by more than 150,000 web developers worldwide) click here.
