Data Hub + Mendix: Unlocking Enterprise-Wide Data Integration

Data Hub + Mendix: Unlocking Enterprise-Wide Data Integration

Why Data Integration Matters

Modern enterprises run on multiple systems like ERP, CRM, PLM, MES, analytics platforms, cloud services, and custom apps. These often create data silos, slowing decisions, reducing operational efficiency, and limiting real-time insights.

Mendix Data Hub offers a unified, governed, and scalable solution, connecting and reusing data across your enterprise without complex integrations.
