What is Mendix Connect?

Mendix Connect is an integration technology for accelerating application development and BI solutions with the capabilities available from the many software solutions in an organization. Though not a centralized data store (i.e. EDW or Data Lake), it is the central hub in an organization for finding metadata and connecting applications and BI tools to the relevant shared datasets. It also ensures consistency in the data used throughout the organization.
