Blue Storm and MxBlue | SUPERP partner to embed continuous governance in Mendix
Utrecht, 12-2-2026 – Blue Storm and MxBlue | SUPERP announce a strategic partnership to embed clear development standards, security controls and quality requirements directly into organizations’ Mendix platforms.
This collaboration combines Blue Storm’s governance solution AppControl with the deep Mendix implementation expertise of MxBlue | SUPERP. Together, they enable organizations to scale Mendix in a controlled, secure, and future-proof way.
Scaling Mendix requires more than speed
Mendix has evolved from a rapid application development tool into a foundation for business-critical and innovative enterprise applications. As adoption grows, so does complexity. More applications. More teams. More dependencies.
Maintaining control without slowing innovation becomes a real challenge.
Governance must move from periodic checks and manual processes to a continuous, integrated approach that aligns with the pace of development.
AppControl: Governance embedded in the platform
AppControl was specifically developed to address this challenge. It is an enterprise governance solution for Mendix that operates across the entire application lifecycle, from development and deployment to monitoring and operational control.
It automatically verifies whether applications comply with agreed development standards, security guidelines and quality criteria and immediately highlights deviations.
Rather than treating governance as a separate activity, AppControl makes it an active part of how applications are built and managed.
By embedding controls, insights, and enforcement directly into the Mendix lifecycle, organizations gain continuous oversight without disrupting development teams or creating additional operational overhead.
From fragmentation to integrated control
In many organizations, governance is spread across multiple tools, spreadsheets, and manual processes. As Mendix landscapes grow and applications become more business-critical or subject to regulatory requirements, this fragmentation increases risk.
AppControl restores structure and transparency within the platform itself. For example, it shows which applications deviate from standards, where security risks exist and which teams are not working according to agreed guidelines.
This turns governance from a paper based policy into a visible and measurable part of the daily development process.
Strengthening platform governance together
Through this partnership, MxBlue | SUPERP supports organizations with the implementation and adoption of AppControl, as well as the design of effective platform and Center of Excellence governance models.
AppControl enables us to help teams and Centers of Excellence mature their Mendix platforms in a structured and scalable way.
Daan Balijon, Business Unit Manager MxBlue|SUPERP
“From day one, we have been genuinely enthusiastic about AppControl and our collaboration with Blue Storm,” said Daan Baljion, Business Unit Manager at MxBlue | SUPERP.“For us, craftsmanship means more than building applications. It means embedding security, governance, and quality by design. AppControl enables us to help teams and Centers of Excellence mature their Mendix platforms in a structured and scalable way.” ”
Organizations do not struggle because they lack policies They struggle because those policies live outside the platform and outside the daily workflow of development teams.
Andrew Whalen, Founder Blue Storm
“Organizations do not struggle because they lack policies,” said Andrew Whalen, Founder of Blue Storm.“They struggle because those policies live outside the platform and outside the daily workflow of development teams. With AppControl, quality, security, and compliance become part of the Mendix lifecycle itself. Partnering with MxBlue | SUPERP ensures organizations can implement that vision effectively and at scale.” ”
