Modernizing Legacy and Embracing Citizen Development with Continental’s Sven Fleischer

Are you struggling to resource projects that require specific technical knowledge? Continental understood they would not be able to resource their legacy migration work with custom development and needed to find a way for their IT team to move faster and release apps quickly for their enterprise. With an aggressive timeline to move apps built on Lotus Notes and Domino as those platforms approach end-of-life, Continental needed one platform that allowed them to address a wide variety of use cases.

In this episode of Make/Shift, hear from Sven Fleischer, Global IT Lead, as he discusses legacy modernization and how that effort lead to a groundswell of citizen development that has extended well beyond the initial use cases. Learn how IT program and application owners, developers and employees across the company are using low code to deliver business solutions.

Apps built on Mendix include an internal capital request workflow for approval processes, a mobile compliance app, and tracking for delivery, supplier and customer information. In addition to their expanding portfolio of use cases, Continental has also been able to tackle unique challenges during COVID-19, with an app enabling them to communicate with a newly-remote workforce, built in just 5 days.
