Are You in Control? AppControl Speeds Governance with Smarter Policies and Faster Processing
September 8, 2025 – Blue Storm, the leading provider of Mendix governance solutions, today announced the August release of AppControl, bringing powerful policy enhancements, new task assignment capabilities, and major performance improvements for large repositories.
Governance at scale demands both precision and speed. Platform teams need clear, actionable insight into policy compliance, task workflows, and component health—without delays or ambiguity. This release builds on AppControl’s vision of active governance, where oversight is continuous and intelligence is embedded across the Mendix lifecycle.
With smarter policy checks, refined dashboards, and streamlined task management, AppControl equips platform teams to spot issues earlier, act faster, and maintain standards without slowing innovation. At the same time, deep core optimizations cut model processing times in half or better for large Git repositories—removing bottlenecks and keeping governance responsive even in complex environments.
“Governance can’t just keep up—it has to stay ahead,” said Andrew Whalen, Founder of Blue Storm. “This release makes AppControl faster, clearer, and more intuitive, so platform teams can focus on what matters most: enabling innovation with confidence.”
AppControl continues to evolve as the enterprise governance layer for the Mendix lifecycle—Develop, Deploy, Monitor, and Control.
