This partnership combines AppControl, Blue Storm’s governance solution, with SUPERP’s in-depth Mendix expertise. Together, they help organizations scale up their Mendix implementations in a controlled, secure, and future-proof manner.
Scaling up with Mendix requires more than just speed
Mendix has evolved from a rapid application development platform into a foundation for mission-critical and innovative enterprise applications. As usage increases, so does complexity. More applications. More teams. More dependencies.
Maintaining control without slowing down innovation thus becomes a real challenge.
Governance must shift from periodic audits and manual processes to a continuous, integrated approach that keeps pace with the speed of development.
From ex-post verification to continuous assurance
In many organizations, governance is spread across various tools, spreadsheets, and manual processes. Checks are performed after the fact: teams build applications, and then checks are performed to ensure that everything meets the specified requirements. This leads to delays, frustration, and corrections at a late stage.
AppControl turns this around. It was developed specifically for Mendix and supports the entire application lifecycle, from development and deployment to monitoring and operational control.
It automatically checks whether applications comply with agreed-upon development standards, security guidelines, and quality criteria, and immediately highlights any deviations.
Governance embedded in the platform
Instead of treating governance as a separate activity, AppControl makes it an integral part of how applications are built and managed.
By embedding checks, insights, and enforcement directly into the Mendix lifecycle, organizations gain continuous visibility and control without disrupting development teams or creating additional operational overhead.
For example, AppControl shows:
- Which applications deviate from the standard
- Where security risks lie
- Which teams are not following the agreed guidelines
In this way, governance becomes not just a paper agreement, but a visible and measurable part of the daily development process.
Stronger Together in Platform Governance
Through this partnership, SUPERP supports organizations in implementing and adopting AppControl, as well as in designing effective platform and Center of Excellence governance models.
“From day one, we’ve been enthusiastic about AppControl and our partnership with Blue Storm. For us, craftsmanship means more than just building applications. It means embedding security, governance, and quality by design. With AppControl, we help teams and Centers of Excellence grow their Mendix platform in a structured and scalable way.”
Daan Balijon, Mendix Unit Lead
“Organizations don’t struggle because they lack policies. They struggle because those policies remain separate from the platform and the day-to-day work of development teams. With AppControl, quality, security, and compliance become an integral part of the Mendix lifecycle itself. Through our partnership with SUPERP, organizations can effectively implement this vision at scale.”
Andrew Whalen, Founder of Blue Storm
Who is this relevant for?
AppControl is a logical step for organizations that:
- Deploying Mendix enterprise-wide
- Want to keep control of growing Mendix environments
- Ensuring governance without slowing down development
- Dealing with compliance and security requirements
- Running or setting up a Center of Excellence
