OutSystems to Mendix Migration

Mendix and OutSystems are leading low-code platforms used to build business-critical applications. Today, many organizations are migrating from OutSystems to Mendix for a variety of reasons. To support this shift, The Orange Force offers the OS2MX Migration Program, a full-service approach for a smooth, secure, and cost-effective transition.

“The team from The Orange Force are all-round experts in their fields, and they really tried to understand our business well before they dove into technical details, which inspired confidence. Their constant focus on quality and end-user experience made sure that the migrated applications support our organization and our people even better than before.

We feel in control again and are confident that the Mendix application landscape will help us get ahead of our competition, increasing operational efficiency and enabling us to innovate.”

Why Migrate from OutSystems to Mendix?

There are multiple reasons why an existing OutSystems customer would want to migrate to Mendix. Here are some they mention frequently.

High OutSystems licensing costs

OutSystems licenses are based on the number of Application Objects (AO). As applications grow (more pages, data entities, integrations), costs can increase substantially. For many, license renewals have become multiple times the original annual cost.

In contrast, Mendix offers fixed license fees that do not grow with application size or complexity.

Mandatory OutSystems Developer Cloud upgrade

OutSystems is moving to a Cloud-Native architecture (OutSystems Developer Cloud, ODC), requiring many users of OS 11 to rebuild their entire application landscape. For those with large or complex systems, that’s costly and risky.

Migrating to Mendix, already cloud-native, can avoid that pain.

Focus on Business and IT collaboration

While OutSystems tends to focus on developer-driven workflows, Mendix encourages collaboration between business stakeholders and IT. This helps bridge the “black box” of development and makes sure your digital solutions align with business needs.

Mendix also brings a broader set of features aimed at collaboration, scalability, and enterprise-level performance, making it easier to build, maintain, and evolve applications that meet long-term business goals.
