Improved user experience, application integration accelerators,
plus data governance and security and new deployment management top
list of new features
Dell Boomi (Boomi) announced the Fall 2016 release of its
award-winning integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) to help
organizations rapidly and cost-effectively integrate data across
applications in hybrid IT environments of cloud-based and legacy
on-premises systems.
The latest release enables Boomi customers to more efficiently
build a connected business at scale, with new features to increase
user productivity, accelerate implementation and provide
unparalleled control of integrations.
“Cloud adoption is driving a dramatic surge in integration
requirements across business applications, as well as creating new
opportunities for enterprises to connect with customers and
partners,” said Chris McNabb, CEO of Boomi. “This means integration
teams are under ever-increasing pressure to demonstrate agility and
deliver more, at an accelerated pace. With this release, our
platform provides organizations with the speed and confidence to
better engage their customers and leapfrog the competition.”
The release furthers Boomi’s position as the number one
integration cloud for companies of all sizes. Boomi introduced the
industry’s first complete iPaaS solution in 2007 and now supplies
more than 5,000 customers with enterprise-grade capabilities for
any-to-any data and application integration, master data management
(MDM) and API management within its unified platform.
Boomi’s Fall 2016 release includes more than 200 features that
have been added over several months and are now generally
available. Highlights include the following.
Increased Productivity with User Experience
Enhancements
Boomi pioneered ease of use in cloud integration with a simple
drag-and-drop user interface (UI). In this release, Boomi delivers
an enhanced UI to offer improved guidance and assistance for users
throughout the platform, including more robust search functions and
embedded help. These enhancements allow new Boomi users to rapidly
become proficient, and provide existing users easier access to the
functionality they need to implement, deploy and monitor their
integrations.
In addition, users can now easily tailor the interface to show
or hide different configuration components based on what is needed,
as well as to provide additional space for working on large,
multi-step integration processes.
Faster Implementation with Boomi Connectors and Application
Integration Accelerators
Boomi continues to reduce implementation complexity through
pre-built connectors, allowing customers to easily handle their
ever-growing need to integrate across a diverse landscape of
applications.
Boomi has expanded its list of connectors for popular
applications and cloud services, and its set of configurable
technology connectors for common types of integrations. With this
release, Boomi has added or updated connectors for Amazon Simple
Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Simple Notification Service
(SNS), DoubleClick by Google, Hobsons, Intuit QuickBooks 2016,
Magento, Marketo, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, Microsoft Azure SQL
Database and SQL Data Warehouse, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, MQTT,
NetSuite, Oracle Taleo Cloud Service, Salesforce, SAP, Slack,
SugarCRM, and UltiPro.
In addition to the extensive set of Boomi Connectors, this
release provides the following implementation accelerators:
- Boomi Process Library: available
directly within the Boomi UI, customers can now access more than 25
pre-built integration processes that serve as examples and starting
points for implementing their own integrations. The process library
will continue to add new integration best practices from
experienced practitioners within Boomi.
- Integration Pack User Interface:
available as an open source project that has been contributed by
Boomi, this web application provides Boomi partners and customers
with a complete reference to accelerate development of their own
custom interfaces for provisioning, configuring and managing
integration packs. Using the source code (available at https://bitbucket.org/boomi-community/), which
includes the entire library of Boomi APIs, integration pack
applications can be rapidly developed, customized and stylized for
the purposes of embedding within company portals, partner
applications and marketplaces.
New Data Governance and Security Features to Ensure
Compliance
A natural consequence of an integration-enabled organization is
the need to maintain data governance and security policies.
In the area of Master Data Management (MDM), Boomi has added a
number of new capabilities that allow for more effective governance
of data across the enterprise. Records that have been quarantined
based on data quality rules can be selectively merged with their
associated golden records when a quarantined record includes
relevant or more current data. And with the new historical
reporting feature, data stewards can easily create and view reports
using multiple parameters to gain insights on data quality trends.
Another new feature is the ability to create custom data
stewardship roles that can be applied to groups of users based on
the specific data governance needs of an organization.
To help Boomi customers ensure the security of data passing
between different applications and systems, Boomi’s certificate
management feature helps customers replace a certificate quickly
and easily. This release provides the ability to review
certifications at least once a month for any that might be
expiring, to import and deploy certificates any time before the
expiration date and have them ready for use when needed and to
review an audit history of who changed a certificate and when.
Better Control with New Deployment Management
The Boomi platform provides a unified solution for handling all
types of data interactions that take place within an organization
and includes integration as well as features for MDM, electronic
data interchange (EDI) and API Management. With this release, Boomi
has further improved its capabilities for ensuring visibility and
control over what has been deployed into production.
Customers using Boomi for EDI transactions now have a new
feature for viewing how they are interacting with their trading
partners. The “where used” tab in the trading partner setup shows
all processes that reference the selected trading partner, along
with the deployment status for each process.
Also, in the area of API Management, Boomi now has an API
deployment console, offering customers a central screen to view all
their APIs and providing a single location to track the deployment
status of each published API for easier, more efficient
management.

Release.

Dell Boomi provides flexible and easy ways to move data into our
Radius CRM, which is critical for our clients’ success. We needed a
tool that could be automated, provided a means to transform and
clean data, and, most importantly, was easy for users to consume --
Boomi’s integration templates provide a preformatted means to map
data to custom fields, transform values to match institutional
definitions, and automate the process to increase efficiency. The
product team at Hobsons leveraged the configuration tools and

Analyst Perspective
“By 2019, iPaaS will be the integration platform of choice for
new integration projects, overtaking traditional, software-based
integration platforms for the first time.”– Gartner, “Selecting
the Most Suitable Platform for Cloud Service Integration,” Keith
Guttridge and Massimo Pezzini, October 24, 2016
“iPaaS is a key building block for creating platforms that
disrupt traditional integration markets due to a faster time to
value proposition.”
“iPaaS is a key enabler for an API strategy and therefore the
API economy. APIs are implicit to facilitating digital, mobile and
IoT, while mesh application and service architecture (MASA) and
"API first" integration patterns are increasingly becoming in
vogue.”
– Gartner, “Emerging Technology Analysis: Integration
Platform as a Service,” Bindi Bhullar, Massimo Pezzini and Fabrizo
Biscotti, August 18, 2016
