Mendix + AI + Design Thinking = Business Value

In the landscape of digital transformation, you are seeking ways to stay ahead of the curve. As Head of Technology, Chief Information Officer (CIO), or Chief Executive Officer (CEO), leveraging the power of generative AI, machine learning, low code platforms (in this case Mendix), and design thinking is becoming paramount in achieving sustainable growth.



Reducing Time to Value through AI and Mendix:


Time is a precious commodity. The integration of generative AI, machine learning, and Mendix, is proving to be a game-changer in reducing time to value. These technologies accelerate development cycles, enabling organisations to bring solutions to market faster.


Let's say you are a financial services company looking to streamline your customer onboarding process. By incorporating AI-driven automation and leveraging the low code capabilities of Mendix, you develop and deploy a customised onboarding application in 10 days.

The result? Improved customer satisfaction, speed-to-value and a faster ROI.



Assessing Your Application Portfolio for Modernisation:



Before embarking on a digital transformation journey, it’s crucial to assess and modernize the existing application portfolio. This is where Forever Foundry comes in. Our proprietary AI platform plays a pivotal role in this process by analysing your applications and identifying low-cost, quick-win opportunities for modernisation. This strategic approach ensures that resources are allocated efficiently and modernisation efforts align with business goals.


A manufacturing firm, for example, successfully modernised its application portfolio by leveraging Forever Foundry AI to prioritise applications based on business impact and feasibility. By focusing on low-hanging fruit first, the company achieved rapid modernisation, resulting in improved operational efficiency and reduced maintenance costs.



Design Thinking in Conjunction with AI and Mendix:


At the heart of successful digital transformation lies design thinking – an approach that places the end user at the center of the development process. When combined with AI and Mendix, design thinking ensures the creation of user-centric solutions that resonate with the target audience.


Imagine a healthcare organisation adopting a design thinking approach in conjunction with AI and low code development for a patient engagement platform. By empathising with users, iterating on solutions, and leveraging the capabilities of low code platforms like Mendix, the organisation delivered a seamless and personalised patient experience, ultimately improving patient outcomes.



Focus on Mendix and AI Models:


Mendix, as a leading low code platform, empowers organisations to rapidly develop and deploy applications with minimal coding effort. When integrated with AI models, the possibilities for innovation become limitless. Mendix’s user-friendly interface and AI capabilities enable businesses to create intelligent applications that enhance efficiency and user experience.


In the retail sector, for instance, a company utilised Mendix and integrated Chat GPT to develop a virtual shopping assistant. This AI-driven application not only provided personalised recommendations to users but also facilitated seamless interactions, resulting in increased customer engagement and sales.



Conclusion:


The collective impact of AI, low code, and design thinking cannot be overstated in the digital transformation journey. For business professionals embracing these technologies is not just a strategic choice but a necessity for sustainable growth.


As we look toward the future, envision a business landscape where you leverage the power of AI, Mendix, and design thinking principles to stay competitive and adaptive. By reducing time to value, modernising application portfolios, and prioritising user-centric solutions, you can unlock you're organisations true potential.

Embrace the possibilities, and lead your organisation toward a future of innovation and success.
