Case Study: Continental achieves Lotus Notes and Domino modernization and faster time-to-market with Mendix low-code

Continental Replaces Lotus Notes and Domino with Low-Code

Continental, a global automotive and mobility technologies company with over 241,000 employees, faced a pressing legacy challenge: hundreds of business-critical applications built on Lotus Notes/Domino were slow to maintain, hard to reuse, suffered latency and storage limits, and made time‑to‑market measured in years. As the company shifted from hardware toward software and a self‑service culture, these Domino constraints hindered agility, quality, and the ability to scale.

Continental evaluated alternatives and adopted Mendix low‑code to enable faster, collaborative development and reusable components. Using Agile, they rebuilt a 300‑story Electronic Capital Request app in 12 weeks (12 sprints, 300+ user stories) for 10,000+ users — a process that previously took over a year — eliminating storage limits, improving user experience, and creating an internal Mendix team to scale low‑code development across the business.
