From outsystems to mendix

Why migrate?

Many businesses approaching contract renewal in 2025 - 2026 are choosing to migrate their applications from OutSystems to Mendix. Here is why:

  1. High licensing costs: Existing OutSystems customers have reported licensing fees multiple times higher than the original yearly cost, leading to unsustainable expenses for growing businesses.
  2. Technical debt: OutSystems’ mandatory upgrade to the Developer Cloud (ODC) creates additional challenges and costs. Since this upgrade already requires significant work, many businesses see it as the perfect opportunity to migrate to Mendix, a more flexible and future-proof alternative.
  3. Business and IT Collaboration: While OutSystems prioritizes developer enablement, Mendix goes a step further by bridging the gap between Business and IT, fostering true collaboration and innovation.

Step-by-step migration guide

1. Assessment & strategy development

We start by getting a full picture of your current OutSystems setup: your apps, data, integrations, and how everything fits together. But we also look beyond the tech. How are your users working with it? What are your pain points? What’s working well?

From there, we shape a migration plan that fits your situation. No cookie-cutter solutions here. We tailor everything based on what matters most to you: speed, performance, flexibility, cost or all of the above.

2. Preparation & enablement

Before we start moving anything, we prep everything: your data, your setup, your infrastructure. We clean up what’s outdated, streamline what we can, and make sure everything is ready to run on Mendix.

At the same time, we help your team get up to speed. To support the migration, we provide your team with targeted training so they’re well-prepared and equipped with the necessary knowledge from the start.

3. Migration execution & testing

Time to bring your new Mendix apps to life. We handle the migration of your applications to Mendix, minimizing downtime and disruptions to your operations, building for the future.

Post-migration, we thoroughly test your applications to ensure they function seamlessly. We make sure it all works like it should, and that your new setup takes full advantage of what Mendix has to offer.

4. Go live & support

Once everything’s tested and ready, we go live. We make sure the switch happens smoothly, with minimal disruption to your business. All systems connected, data in place, users onboard.

After launch, we stick around to support you: fixing bugs, optimizing performance and helping you keep improving.
