Boomi announced the
findings of The Total Economic Impact Of
The Boomi
AtomSphere Platform, August 2021, a commissioned study conducted by Forrester
Consulting on behalf of Boomi. The study revealed that the Boomi AtomSphere
Platform delivered a 410% return on investment (ROI) over a three-year period,
with the platform paying for itself in less than six months. The study also
highlighted Boomi's open and neutral platform reduced integration development
times by 65% ─ an increased efficiency value of more than $3.7 million ─
enabling businesses to connect data, applications, devices, and people in hours
or days instead of weeks or months.
According to Forrester, enterprise organizations struggle with a number of
challenges including complex, on-premises legacy integration platforms; siloed
and underutilized data; manual processes for capturing and synchronizing data
that strain IT resources; and security compliance gaps caused by the sharing of
data with vendors, partners, and customers.
"The Boomi AtomSphere Platform provides a low-code, cloud-native iPaaS that
helps organizations break down information silos, automate workflows, secure
real-time access to data across applications and business partners, while
providing data analysis and management capabilities," the Forrester study
stated. "For organizations that need to rapidly tie data and applications into
a unified customer experience, Boomi provides an iPaaS with runtime deployment
options that meet their on-premises and hybrid connectivity needs while helping
to optimize customer experience and business operations."
To better understand the benefits, costs, and risks associated with investing
in the Boomi AtomSphere Platform, Forrester interviewed six Boomi customers and
aggregated their experiences and results into a single composite example
organization. The study found that, overall, AtomSphere users were able to
simplify and reduce the cost of developing, testing, deploying, and maintaining
application and data interfaces.
Additional benefits the study found include:
-
$3.2 million in gross profit unlocked through additional revenue streams -
Using the Boomi AtomSphere Platform, organizations unlocked opportunities for
additional revenue streams and innovation. Improved business operations and
improved data exchanges with partners led to accelerated business processes,
more seamless user experiences, and incremental revenue.
-
$2.3 million in savings by retiring previous integration solutions - Prior to
using Boomi, organizations used on-premises middleware tools that required
extensive maintenance. As the organizations replaced their legacy tools with
the Boomi AtomSphere Platform, they realized significant savings on license
fees, infrastructure costs, and ongoing maintenance.
-
$2.7 million value gained through increased data analyst productivity and
faster data discovery - The fully managed Data Catalog and Preparation service bridged the needs
between the data group and internal analysts, enabling them to access data that
previously was siloed and only available to the data group. Line-of-business
users gained easy and intuitive access to business metadata and corresponding
intellectual capital that feed into the analytics they perform to serve the
business.
-
Enabling citizen developers across the organization for self-service
integration projects - The ability to easily create integrations between data
sources dispersed across the organization allowed hundreds of non-IT users to
create integrated experiences and accelerate critical business processes
without the help of IT. This capability enables IT professionals to be more
productive while expanding development tasks to non-IT roles. non-IT personas
"As organizations increasingly undergo modernization initiatives, the number of
different systems, applications, clouds, and data siloes found throughout their
environments is overwhelming IT resources, slowing their integration processes,
and hindering their ability to achieve their business objectives," said Chris
McNabb, CEO, Boomi. "Boomi eliminates these barriers, speeding integrations,
and unifying information and interactions throughout the organization - all
while delivering staggering ROI, unlocking new revenue streams from the outset,
and adapting as the organization grows and evolves."
