Simplifier is a “Representative Vendor” in the Gartner® “Market Guide for Multiexperience Development Platforms” 2022 – Why? Part 1
(Reading time approx. 3 minutes)
In this year’s Gartner® “Market Guide for Multiexperience Development Platforms”, Simplifier was listed as a “Representative Vendor”. In this blog series, however, we want to give more insights. In the first part, we highlight the report, MXDP in general, and why our platform is both a low-code and MXDP platform. In part two, we’ll go into our MXDP vision and why partnering is essential to us.
Gartner Market Guide
Gartner, a market research and consulting firm, is one of the world’s leading companies in its field. Their in-depth market expertise enables organizations to select the right vendor for their specific use cases. Gartner’s Market Guides, published regularly, are a research methodology used by Gartner to analyze and report on the status of emerging markets. They help guide purchasing decisions and provide insight into key vendor competencies in the marketplace.
The recently published “Market Guide for Multiexperience Development Platforms” not only provides a selection of 28 representative vendors, but also an analysis of essential MXDP capabilities, use cases and recommendations for decision makers to make informed choices when selecting and implementing MXDP. Accordingly, inclusion in the report is both an affirmation of a vendor’s reputation and popularity, and implicit proof of the product’s quality.
“For us, the listing not only means that we are among the 28 representative vendors worldwide in the multi-experience development platform (MXDP) sector. It confirms our steadily growing awareness and the increasing penetration of our platform. Being listed in this report is an important step on our roadmap and confirms from experts: we can easily keep up with the big vendors.”
Florian Rühl, CSO, Simplifier AGDefinition MXDP
MXDP is short for “Multi-Experience Development Platform” and describes platforms that cover and centralize the entire application lifecycle of applications. Such platforms are used to design and develop, test, deploy and manage, maintain and analyze multi-experience applications that provide multimodal interactions (touch, voice, gestures) on multiple devices along the user journey across multiple touchpoints. The goal of MXDP is to create tailored, user-centric, targeted applications with a consistent user experience across all devices and touchpoints (smartphones, tablets, wearables, chatbots, AR / VR).
But how are MXDP and low-code related?
As a subset of MXDP, low-code platforms focus on building such applications based on visual tools and configurations. As such, they accelerate application creation and enable Citizen Development, resulting in a shorter time-to-market.
“Our vision since Day 1 has been: we believe that simplifying the creation and use of software is the basis for further technological progress and ultimately solves the challenges of digitization. For us, this also included ensuring that the application lifecycle takes place entirely within our platform. We know from our own experience how tedious it is to constantly change tools and work with an unmanageable repertoire of tools. That’s why we’ve taken both the low-code approach and the MXDP approach in Simplifier – successfully, as we can now see from the Gartner report.”
Chris Bouveret, CIO, Simplifier AGThis combined approach is not only promising in theory, because the demand for this type of development platform is enormous and will continue to grow. Gartner’s report shows, “Multiexperience development platforms (MXDPs) and low-code application platforms platforms (LCAPs) are popular technologies for enterprise application development. Gartner forecasts that the MXDP market will reach $4.7 billion by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 19.5% from 2020 to 2025, while the LCAP market will reach $14.4 billion, with a growth rate of 26.4%.” MXDP and LCAP (Low-Code Application Platform) thus represent the most significant and promising platform types within the low-code market.
