Boomi announced Boomi AI
- a first-of-its-kind, simplified user experience that harnesses
generative AI to connect and integrate applications, data, processes,
people, and things across organizations - creating business outcomes
faster than ever before.
"The introduction of Boomi AI marks yet another milestone in our long
history of pioneering innovation in the integration industry," said Ed
Macosky, Chief Product Officer at Boomi. "We pioneered the first
low-code, cloud-native integration platform as a service (iPaaS) to
disrupt the middleware market 20+ years ago. Then, over a decade ago,
Boomi pioneered AI-assisted development with the launch of Boomi Suggest,
which further disrupted the market. Now, we are taking our intelligent
integration and automation platform to the next level by making it
AI-first - enabling AI to responsibly build and complete integrations,
and transform automation for our customers."
In today's constantly changing market, organizations are making
substantial investments to modernize their digital operations. According
to IDC,
global spending on AI will increase by 26.9% in this next year alone.
However, disconnected ecosystems make it difficult for IT teams to focus
on strategic initiatives. Fragmented tools, applications, and data can
cause confusion and coordination issues, as teams lack a centralized
platform for integration, API management, orchestration, and automation,
resulting in time spent on maintenance, not innovation.
Boomi's AI engine is fueled by the company's approximately 20,000
customers - the largest customer base among integration platform
vendors. Boomi AI leverages anonymized metadata, patterns, and best
practices from the 200 million integrations made with the Boomi platform
to train the AI models to create high-quality integrations across
various business processes and applications, such as data management,
customer experience optimization, or supply chain processes.
"Boomi's extensive knowledge base makes our AI engine far more advanced
than the AI-assisted development tools available today. It also benefits
users by continuously testing patterns to ensure optimal integration
design and root out risks and errors early, enabling customers to
achieve tremendous gains in efficiency, operational improvements, and
other desirable business outcomes," added Macosky.
With Boomi AI, organizations can:
Design Connections: Boomi AI can design integration processes,
application programming interfaces, and master data models with built-in
best practices from millions of successful use cases, through a quick
command, like, "Connect my CRM and invoice systems."
Optimize Operations: With Boomi AI's actionable intelligent
insights, users can solve problems proactively, facilitate predictive
maintenance, automate updates, and allocate optimal resources to enable
software to efficiently self-manage itself. These insights, like "A data attribute in Salesforce has changed. Would you like to apply it across your systems?" make previously menial tasks quick and easy.
Orchestrate Experiences: Boomi AI can interpret intent behind
desired business outcomes to orchestrate processes across applications.
It enhances decision-making, simplifies tasks, and improves engagement
while providing audit history and prompts to confirm intent so that
decisions and outcomes are always explainable, creating even greater
synergies between IT and the business. With a simple prompt like "Automate invoice processing," IT teams and business leaders can focus on what matters most.
Enable Responsible AI Development: Boomi's AI algorithms are
trained to avoid biases and unfairness with established ethical
guidelines for the development and use of AI within the Boomi platform.
These guidelines confirm that Boomi's AI technology is used in a
transparent and accountable manner, and that it does not violate any
ethical principles or laws. Additionally, Boomi has achieved U.S.
Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP)
Authorization Moderate, a government-wide program that provides a
standardized approach to security assessment. Boomi AI does not store
any customer-specific information of any kind.
"In today's fast-paced market, organizations need more powerful tools
that enable them to outperform, and AI presents a potent new avenue to
do this," says Dion Hinchcliffe, VP and Principal Analyst of
Constellation Research. "By embracing an important new AI-first
approach, organizations can unlock new levels of efficiency, innovation,
and competitive advantage, to immediately capture opportunity as well
as ensure their business remains future-ready."
