With the proliferation of artificial intelligence and business intelligence tools, data has become a prized enterprise resource. In keeping up with data sprawl and rising enterprise reliance, data companies are innovating at breakneck speed in areas such as observability, processing and compliance. With the playing field constantly expanding for data solutions, how is Boomi LP poised to deliver consistent business value in the long term?

“Boomi is different — Boomi has always been focused on, how will we put the [data] pieces together,” said Merv Adrian (pictured, right), principal at IT Market Strategy. “That itself is much more automatable and much more governable than starting with your own island. For me to come to this event and hear the articulation of their vision for how expansive they’re going to be in carrying that forward, it’s been very impressive.”

Adrian and Shawn Rogers (left), chief executive officer of Barc GmbH, spoke with theCUBE Research’s John Furrier at Boomi World, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed the complex future of data management, with Boomi’s holistic approach fueled by AI and governed by trust. (* Disclosure below.)

Boomi’s place in today’s paradigm of AI-based architectures

The industry is at the heart of a transformative shift, with data management, integration and utilization in the spotlight. An increased focus on data quality is driving this shift and Boomi is at the forefront with holistic integration in a sea of widespread data fragmentation.

“If you didn’t have your act together with your data, you’re on the sidelines already right now with gen AI and everything that’s happening around AI,” Rogers said. “These are not new topics, these topics have been around a long time. They’re where everybody’s stubbing their toe. It’s what’s slowing people down.”

The transformative power of AI-based architectures is a game-changer. Boomi’s vision showcases a shift towards active systems, where agents perform tasks autonomously. This radical shift demands trust, observability and governance. The company’s approach, emphasizing a governed framework for autonomous action, is a game-changer in a landscape rife with innovation.

“We want to build an architecture that does stuff, not an architecture that sits there and waits to be asked,” Adrian said. “If you think about that flip, you wind up with a model where if I can provide you with a framework for turning these things loose to do what needs to be done in a governed way.”

In dealing with the sprawl of application programming interfaces, Boomi’s recent acquisitions show commitment and attention to detail. But a crucial question has emerged: should these API solutions cater primarily to developers or IT teams?

“The difference is, who’s going to do the work?” Adrian said. “I’ve provided a service, now you have to go build something with it. That implies another important thing that has to happen, I have to trust this thing because it’s going to act on my behalf. The degree to which we make this stuff observable and explainable is the path.”
