History

Boomi was founded in 2000, beginning with "configuration-based" integration. Its technology allows users to build and deploy integration processes using a visual interface and a drag and drop technique. This interface remains one of the key elements of the current Boomi platform. The company was named after Bhūmi, the Hindu goddess representing Mother Earth.[7]

In 2007, Boomi released the technology now known as "AtomSphere," an Integration Cloud. AtomSphere kept the visual, point and click interface for building integrations and can be managed through a browser-based UI.[8]

On November 2, 2010, Boomi announced its acquisition by Dell.[9]

In March 2017, Boomi acquired cloud-development platform company ManyWho.[10]

In December 2019, Boomi acquired Unifi Software.[11][12]

In February 2020, Boomi released its Integration Center of Excellence (ICoE) service.[13]

As of March 2020, Boomi has approximately 1,300 employees and 11,000 customers.[14]

Platform

Boomi provides an integration platform as a service (iPaaS), which enables the connection of applications and data sources.[15] It is a low-code development platform.[16] The platform provides API, lifecycle management and event-driven architecture features for cloud integration.[17] This includes an API Proxy, API Gateway and API Developer Portal.[17]

The platform also supports event-driven architectures.[17] Boomi's EDA partners include Dell EMC and Solace as well as vendors specializing in message brokers, event meshes, streaming and pub/sub technology.[17] The platform also offers integrations for Amazon SQS, Microsoft's Azure Service Bus services and Pivotal's RabbitMQ.[17]

After Boomi acquired Unifi Software, Boomi incorporated data discovery, catalog and preparation tools into its platform, and continues to offer Unifi as a stand-alone product.[2][1]

In August 2019, Boomi’s iPaaS was authorized by FedRAMP.[18]

Boomi's platform is currently being used by the American Cancer Society, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Gilead Sciences, International Justice Mission, Novartis, Sky Group and University of Technology Sydney.[19][20][21][22][23]

The ICoE service run by Boomi provides reusable frameworks and industry guidelines for integration.[13]
